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!

Friends are special treasures

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.

That's all from me. Thanks for stopping by! =)

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!

Free Pattern: Diaper Stacker

About once a week, two-year-old #1 pulls the stack of diapers off her dresser and scatter them all over the room.  Since her little sister inherited the diaper stacker, I decided to make one matching her decor, to hang out of her reach.  This would also be adorable to match a nursery or crib set.

This is the biggest project I've done in awhile.  The instructions might be a little complicated, when sewing the pleats and moving up to the decorative top, but it's really a simple concept.  If you think of a better way to do it or explain it, please leave a comment!
