(Please scroll down for my Totally Ladybug Tuesday post!)
This week's challenge at A Spoonful of Sugar is "blue & green should never be seen"! And it's sponsored by that lovely Nikki of Bunny Zoe's Crafts - so lots of yummy goodies to be had! When I first saw the challenge, I kept thinking about the green - a colour not often used by me - and ... don't ask me why ... I thought of aliens! No, I haven't met any personally! So I just had to get my Willy out - he's called Willy One Eye, but isn't that a little rude?!! Well, Steve and I had a chuckle anyway! [Apologies in advance if I've offended anyone out there!]
Okay, onto the card before I get any more complaints flooding in...
Sorry for the rather awful photos - it's so grey here in the UK and I couldn't do anything to improve the photo! But aren't those High Hope Dustin Pike images fun! You can buy Willy One Eye {{giggle}} here. I'm not 100% convinced about the positioning of that ribbon though - and how will I fit it in the envelope, lol?!! Oh well, I will MAKE it fit!
Don't forget to hop over to see the other DT inspiration here - their usual tip top quality!
