Welcome to my blog! This is the second time I have participated in the Ultimate Blog Party and I am very excited to participate again. I am not only donating a prize (INTL 50) at the Ultimate Blog Party, I am also donating a great prize on this blog and you will have a chance to enter the giveaway at the end of this blog post.
About Me
I am a stay at home mom to a 3 year old daughter. I have been married for 10 years to my college sweetheart. I have a Masters degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I love music, dancing, traveling, digital scrapbooking, graphic design, & spending time with family & friends. I am the owner and designer of Little Ladybug Designs. I started Little Ladybug Designs after encouragement from family & friends. I designed my daughter's birthday invitations and everyone thought I should start a business designing announcements and invitations for others. I have a variety of adoption announcements, birth announcements, baby shower invitations, birthday invitations, mommy calling cards, holiday photo cards, business cards & more! I can also create a custom design based on your preferences.
As you can see from my business name I love ladybugs! Ladybugs are known to bring good luck! Here are some ideas if you are planning a ladybug birthday party or a ladybug baby shower party.
Ladybug Party Inspiration Board
The Ladybug Initial Birthday Invitations, Ladybug Initial Gift Tag Stickers, and Love Bug Ladybug Magnets are available at my store!

1. Turn the cake and cupcake upside down and frost them with red icing.

Hello! Poppin’ in from The Ultimate Blog Party…all the way from Queensland, Australia! G’Day! I hope you have time to visit my party soon.
Ta!
I love ladybirds (that's what we call them here) and I decorated the nursery with that theme when I was expecting my 3rd baby. Hope you are enjoying the blog party.
I like your designs, but the pink stripey Easter one is really cute (1st one on Easter page). I also like hat you have a print-you-own option, and a custom option. How great that your family encouraged you to start this business!
Wow, you have a lot of great designs, Very talented. I really like the Pink Balloon Birthday Invitations. My little niece is getting ready to turn 2. She is wanting a Hello Kitty, Ladybug, cupcake party.. She's 2 who knows.
I am having a blast at the blog party. Thanks for inviting us all to stop by for a visit.
We had a ladybug birthday party for our oldest when she turned 1! We made the same cake. :-)
Stopping in from UBP! :-) Love all your designs!

Wow what great designs. I love them. Just stopping by to say hello on the UBP09 rounds!!
happy UBP'09! i hope you're having a fun party! i'm visiting from www.mommacrafter.today.com
Love your designs! Stopped by from UBP. I love how so many moms are finding ways to combine their creative talents with business! I am working on doing the same, but feeling pretty overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge! Lots of helpful people out here in the blogosphere though! Off to visit another blog from the party! I'll stop by once in awhile!
My girls just love ladybugs... I may have to do that cake for their birthday this year!
I’ll definitely have to check out your blog more later… (I’m just bookmarking everyone right now, while I blog-hop my way through the party :-p)
Feel free to check out my blog, too! While I found the party too late to be part of the official prize giveaways, I do have a door prize at my blog: I’m giving away a free print copy of my book, “Two Snowflakes.” Here’s my address: http://twinhappyjen.blogspot.com/
It was nice to meet you!
What a great post- everything you need for a precious party!
