La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge #15 - Buttons, Button, Buttons!

Hello everybody! Welcome to another La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge!

It's Jane and I'm your hostess for this week's challenge! Before I get to the challenge, I would like to take a moment and thank everyone who participated in our 3-2-1 Recipe Challenge last week. It is always such a treat to go to your blogs every week and see what you have come up with for the challenges! Congratulations to our Top 3!

This week's challenge is all about BUTTONS! I was organizing my embellishments and realized how many buttons I have managed to collect over the years. It seems that I love to collect and not use them! Does anyone else have this problem? Well, now you get to look through your stash and find one or two or however many you want to use for this challenge.

Here's what you need to do to participate:

1) Create a NEW card or other papercraft project for the challenge using the above recipe.
Yes, you may combine challenges!
You may use any stamps, but if you've got some La-La Land stamps,why not show them some love?!

2) Link your card or project to Mr. Linky below
by Sunday, December 6th, 2009 at 11:59pm PST (GMT-8).

Be sure to link directly to the blog or gallery post featuring your entry!
If you post your card on Splitcoaststampers, please use Keyword: LLWWC15.
If you are also using a stamp from La-La Land Crafts, please use BOTH keywords LLLC and LLWWC15.

3) Create the link to this challenge (link back to us) in your blog or gallery post

As always, the Top 3 will get to put this adorable button on their blog:

The project with the most votes will get this adorable "Pepper with Cake" stamp that I used on my card this week.

All I Want For Christmas Is...

La-La Land Crafts is sponsoring this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #15! One lucky winner will receive both of these stamps from our Christmas Collection, Angel Lala and Christmas Dress Rosie!!



Randi Barrett is hosting this week's challenge. Randi chose these scriptures for the inspiration:

Matthew 2:11 "After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh."

Matthew 7:7-11: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give what is good to those who ask it."

Randi's challenge is to make a card, layout or other paper craft project that has a GIFT featured in it. Be sure to visit Stampin' Sisters in Christ Blog and enter the challenge there!

And here is my card for the challenge.. I used one of the stamps that are being offered as a prize, Christmas Dress Rosie :-) .



Rosie was colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped up for dimension. BoBunny Designer Paper. The frame, the Christmas Tree with the presents and the sentiment are all the part of the designer paper. I LOVE it!!! Mark Richards Crystal Stickers. Ribbon with the button and the twine in the right corner. That's it!! Quick, easy and ADORABLE :-) !!

Hugs!!

La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge #14 - Recipe

Hello everybody and welcome to another La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge!

It's Maureen and I'm your hostess for this week's challenge! Before I get to the challenge, I'd like to thank everyone who played in our Thankful Challenge last week and congratulations to our Top 3! You all made such wonderful creations!

I decided to do a recipe challenge, specifically a 3-2-1 recipe, because I think they're lots of fun! I've chosen 3 patterned papers, 2 colors of cardstock (white counts as a color), and 1 type of embellishment.

Now since opinions can differ as to what is an embellishment, I've made a list of the 'bellies that I think have more visual "weight" and count for purposes of this challenge: ribbon/lace, buttons, gems/pearls/acrylic drops, beads, charms, brads/eyelets, other metal hardware and flowers. So pick one type off the list, but you can use as many of that one type as you like! Anything that's not on the list is ok (such as glitter, liquid applique, punched pieces, Flower Soft, etc.). I hope this isn't too complicated and that you have fun with this challenge!

Here's what you need to do to participate:

1) Create a NEW card or other papercraft project for the challenge using the above recipe.
Yes, you may combine challenges!
You may use any stamps, but if you've got some La-La Land stamps,why not show them some love?!

2) Link your card or project to Mr. Linky below by Sunday, November 29th, 2009 at 11:59pm PST (GMT-8).
Be sure to link directly to the blog or gallery post featuring your entry!
If you post your card on Splitcoaststampers, please use Keyword: LLWWC14.
If you are also using a stamp from La-La Land Crafts, please use BOTH keywords LLLC and LLWWC14.

3) Create the link to this challenge (link back to us) in your blog or gallery post

As always, the Top 3 will get to put this adorable button on their blog:
