Today is a very special day to me, it's not only my day to post (hehe), it also my son's birthday! My little guy is turning three today! Time certainly flies! I remembered he was just a tiny baby!

I kept today's card pretty simple. Seriously, I haven't been crafting in a few days and my mojo is slowly slipping away! Even as simple as this one, it took a two days to finish and my image was colored weeks ago already! LOL

For this card, I used Sweet Dreams Marci. I used this leftover pretty paper from earlier this year. I think it's a Valentine's Day paper. LOL One of my New Year resolution is to TRY to use most of my scraps.

 

Well, that's all I have today! I do hope everyone have a Happy, Healthy New Year!

Hi all! Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season. This is guest designer Alice. I am sad to present my last project as a guest designer for La La Land Crafts. I can't believe it's three months already! Big thanks to Irina for inviting me, I had so much fun creating using your amazing stamps and it was such an honor to work with your talented team! =)


I used the super cute Pirate Luka for this card. He has to be the most handsome pirate that I have ever seen! =) I used the digital version of the stamp for my card. You can see all the adorable La La stamps in digital forms here. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Back To Birthday Cards

Happy Christmas Ever, everyone!

I am taking a little break from making Christmas cards so today I want to share this Birthday card with Fancy Marci. I tend to make mostly Birthday cards because they are always come in handle! They other thing that comes in handy are gift card holders. I am hoping I can get a head start on those. I needed a few for this Christmas and I didn't have them.

Anyway, on my last week's post, a reader commented that it would be helpful to include the Copic colors I used on the images. Unfortunately I can not include this info on all my posts since I color on the go a majority of the time. I only color about 5% of my images at home. Plus because I don't use my colored images right away, I seriously do not remember the exact colors I used on the images. I do apologize that.

I didn't use too many colors on this Fancy Marci so I will include this info. :)


Copic colors used:
E11, E00, E000, C3, E79, E74, E71, R85, R83, R81

Okie dokie, I do hope you guys are all prepared for Christmas! Wishing everyone a fabulous Christmas!

Howdy folks...

Howdy folks, Jana here, and I'm back with another Fancy Marci card today. I just love playing with this little sweetie, and today she is on her own! You can still pick up her Digi image here, and she'll be available in rubber REAL soon, I promise!!I used this week's Mercy Sketch MTSC105 for my layout, along with some more Jovial paper from Basic Grey.


For her dress, I used this fabulous deep red velvet paper that is left over form WAY back when SU! carried it. That was many years (and several moves) ago, so I'm quite impressed that I actually still had some. I love her little velvet dress, although it is a little hard to see the details it's so dark. perhaps next time I need a lighter color.


It's almost Christmas...so I'd better skedaddle and get those cards in the mail! Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone!!

Panda Express!

 

If you happen to be looking for a last minute gift that is quick and easy on the ol' wallet , this may be just what you are looking for! This adorable panda bear is now available as a digital stamp and is the perfect size for these glittered glass ornaments!

To create your own ornament simply print image onto acetate {available at your local office supply} and as soon as it prints sprinkle with embossing powder and emboss. Using a circle punch, or your cricut cut to fit your ornament { they are available in many sizes} Turn over and color with paint pen on back side of embossed image. If you color on front you run the risk of getting paint on your embossed and raised area.  Let dry completely! this is a very important step!!!!


Fill glass ball with glitter or "snow". Punch a small hole in top of your circle and tie a piece of string or twine that is thin enough to come out the top of ornament once the hook is put back on. roll acetate into a tube and insert into ornament and allow to open, replace hook topper and embellish as desired! the hardest part is waiting for it to dry!!!! Now that is Panda express *wink*  

We would love to see your Holiday and everyday creations in the customer gallery, its so exciting when you share with us!

Happy creating, and Merry Christmas!

Birthday Girl

Hi all! It's guest designer Alice. I have a card made using the digital version of the lovely Ballerina Marci to share with you today.


She is so adorable! I love the rose detail in her hair. =) I paired her with My Mind's Eye's Find And Dandy Tickled Pink collection. The banner is from Jane's Doodles and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's a Bit Chilly Here!


Hi everyone - GDT Debbie here from a not so Summery Australia. Unfortunately where I live in Melbourne we have NOT had a terribly warm start to Summer! In fact there is even talk the mountain areas may get SNOW!!! A White Christmas in Australia - who knows when or IF that has ever happened?!?!?!

Anyway - I decided to stamp up Winter Marci  as I'm in the mood for rugging up and wrapping my hands around a hot cocoa! I've used some Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage DPs to create the background and a doily to add in some softness. I had made the tiny tags double sided by popping the sentiment on both sides and then glueing them together with the thread in the middle - but I discovered wet stickles on red flowers REALLY messes up computer generated words when they fly up and hit it!!! If you pulled the tags off their dimensionals and turned them over you would see what I mean - LOL.

Remember if you create something with any La-La stamps or digis, please share with us in the customer gallery! Once a month we have a Customer Appreciation Day and one of you will win a prize!

Merry Christmas!

Hello! Yay! Friday!!! Here comes weekend!! Woohoo!

Are you guys all done with Christmas cards? I am done for this year but I am going to continue making them since I love Christmas and I do try to make them early.

You guessed it! I have a Christmas card to share today! LOL I decided to play with Winter Marci. She's all dressed, ready to go out in the rain. :) Yeah, it's raining here and it will continue to rain until next week. Well, at least Marci is warm and cozy in her cute little coat and matching hat, right? LOL

Merry Christmas from Tuffy!

Hi everyone, Jana here, and I have a confession to make. I've got another Tuffy card for you today because I needed to create a card in less than 45 minutes after getting Jackson to sleep and picking Julia up from school...and the smaller the image the faster the coloring! But...now that he's done...I LOVE it! This sketch (from Our Creative Corner's challenge this week!) was perfect for our little guy, and even though I didn't alter his image by adding a hat or holly or anything, the little red color adds enough holiday to make it all work!


I used some new BG Jovial paper (LOVE this, and can't believe I waited this long to get it!!!) and kept the whole thing pretty simple. And don't you just love that giant bow?? I know I do!


Ok...I know we're all WAY busy this time of year...so I'm going to leave it at that tonight. Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

Super Cupcake Marci & Tuffy

To all our Southern California Fans!!  Come see us at our Trunk Shows this weekend!!!  Click HERE for more information.


Hello!  Are you having a SuPeR Wednesday so far?? 

I'm Kris and today I have a "sweet" card to share.  Super Cupcake Marci was whispering "Sweet cupcakes" in my ear, so I inked her up and her SuPeR dog Tuffy too!  He's not much help though as he keeps eating the cupcakes, so I had to put them up high out of reach!  ;) 

I just have to say, I LOVE these stamps!  They are so fun to color and really fun to give for kids' birthdays (and even adults love em!)  Irina and Eric Berry have really done a fabulous job on this new line and I can't wait to see what's coming next!!!  =) 

You can buy these digis here on the blog and the rubber stamps in the store.  =)  

Okay, well we're off to save the day!!  (There's lots of peeps out there needing cupcakes ya know!!) 

*Ü*  Have a SuPeR day!

Floral Frenzy Marci

Hi All, thought I would give you a peak at a card I made using a Burgundy and Cream colour combo. I used the gorgeous Marci with Rose which you can get as a rubber stamp or as a digi-stamp. Isn't she the cutest?




She was a real pleasure to colour. 

Thanks for popping by and have a good day.
