A moment of pure indulgence!

I don't seem to get the time to scrap much, if I get a moment to craft I seem to have cards to make. For Christmas my lovely sister in law bought me some lovely little ladybugs. As soon as I saw them I knew where they would spend  the rest of their little lives. Last year we had a particularly lovely day out walking our lovely dog and when I go back and looked at the photos I was amazed how many gorgeous ones I'd managed to snap and knew instantly that I needed to scrap some of them. I did one very soon after and really enjoyed not only buying the inks to go on it, but playing with them on a blank 12 x 12.

So, I unwrap the little family of ladybugs and know that when I have enough time they are going to be housed with one or two photos from this walk. On entering the lake the fencing along the path seemed to be covered in 'families' of ladybugs. Every upright seemed to have its only little colony. Both father and son soon bored of my 'oooh, look! more!!!' and I was left to snap alone. So, I know the pictures, I know the embellishments - but what about cardstock! And what about journalling! I came across the words first and this dictated that the cardstock would be another blank - you see, all I could think about relating to the little red spotty bugs was the Sesame Street song 'Ladybug picnic'. I downloaded a few of the verses (it's way too long to use it all) and wrote it by hand on the cardstock - after spraying it first with cosmic shimmer mists! Then it was as simple as placing the photos and a few cute little ladybug footprints and job done!!!! I think it is stunningly gorgeous and by fluke, it is the perfect partner to the first one I did - which is on here already but I think I need to show them side by side.
