We're off to another tea party with da Muddermark (aka Mothermark) and all her ladybug friends to a Country Estate in New York to save Ladybug Lou-la-Bella from the clutches of a bug thug! I must be honest and tell you that when I heard that Ladybug Lou-la-Bella Rock-a-Fella has boo-koo muhla, I was all aboard zgirlsgranny's cruiser. After all, what ladybug doesn't need more stampin' supplies??? Guess what else? This week we get to have tea and biscuits BEFORE we rescue Lou-la-Bella so we can be all energized for rescuing her after our long ladybug cruiser ride to New York. da Muddermark is getting smart: feed 'em before you work 'em!
In case you're wonderin' what that dust (glitter that didn't photograph well) is all over my ladybugs, it's protective powder against the Bug Thug's slimy spit that he uses to deflect anyone or anything from saving Lou-la-Bella.
The more ladybugs we bring, the better the chance we have to over power the Bug Thug, so I hope you'll join us in da Muddermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge and help us out! I have THOUSANDS more ladybugs hidin' up under all those ribbons!

This is not my comment:
Bertie! I wasn't born yesterday! I am old and wise and on to your shananigans! How convenient you begin to talk to us about the thug bug slimy spit! Only to throw us off track! The name of YOUR game at the tea parties is slinging stuff so don't pretend what you have under your ladybug coat is protective powder!! When in fact, its slimy slinging slick and slobbery sloshy spirit spit! And you are just waiting for the perfect opportunity once we get to the Rock-a-fellas!
Psst...if you share some of your slobbery slimy slinging spit with me I will share the Rock-a-fella's boo koo muhla with you! Shh...here comes the other tea potters.....smile big at them!!!

Oh, from what I read, Cindy wants to get a conspiracy going. Well, if you want any help from the rest of the ladybugs you better not jump on her bandwagon. Gotta love all those ribbons.

WHO LET THE BUGS OUT???
Isn't that how the song should have been sung? I love all the sparkly little bugs that came out on your card. Those ribbons are fabulous. I love your corner embellishments, the scalloped edge and the punched edge!!!

This is way too cute, Charlene! Love those sparkly ladybugs and all those ribbons! I'm hoping for a lift in the ladybug cruiser, too! Sounds like there is room for tens of thousands of ladybugs in there! See you in New York!

Charlene, aren't you just brilliant to bring protective powder against the Bug Thug and it's so sparkly pretty, too! And, yup, that ladybug cruiser is definitely the way to go to the Rock-a-fellas estate.
Very clever to have your hoards of ladybug troops hiding in the ribbon! Darling, darling, darling!

Hey, I just noticed that we're gallery neighbors today. Yay!
I think I will take you up on your very nice offer for some protective powder for my dainty little fairy. Your da bomb!
Speaking of which, why didn't any of us think to bring a big old thug bug bomb? Oh, yeah, there'd be slime everywhere. Not attractive.
