A little bit about Kerry the owner

My name is Kerry and I'm the owner of Ladybug Crafts Ink, an independent stamp and digi company. I've been making cards since 2000 and I'd always dreamed of having my own line of stamps and in 2009 my dream came true when Nikki & Friends was born. Since then Ruby Fairies, Magnum & Lily and The Teenagers are but a few of the collections I've added. Billie Bear, our most recent addition, has proved extremely popular and will be joined very soon with a new release this month!




The prize for our May winner will be two cling stamps of their choice from Ladybug Crafts shop.

Enjoy the day, whatever you are up too.
Hugs
