Hello there....

This is Eva typing away and it's the second post of the day, so if you haven't seen Karen's adorable Birthday Marci card, please scroll down to check it out, it sure is a happy little card you don't want to miss out on!

My card sharing today is with Ballerina Marci and I sure dolled her up with lots of lacy elements.  Starting with the lace card shape, which I cut out with my Silhouette, than the scroll frame was also cut out with my Silhouette,  I just felt it was perfect fit for this cute ballerina.  And what little ballerina wouldn't deserve pretty flowers, so I made her a little flower by rolling up paper.

The papers are by Websters Pages, just had that perfect feminine look to them and I even had a pretty lace trim that has been waiting just for this little girl to show up!  And check out Marci's tutu, I added some Stickles to it, I think it's just too cute.  I know any little girl would love to get this card in her hand!

And remember, we have that 25% off storewide sale!!  Make sure you get some of the stamps you have been eying, so if you have been waiting, now is the TIME!!!

Thanks for visiting La-La Land Crafts and wishing you a fabulous day!

Birthday Marci.."Happy Birthday"

Hello there..Karen here!  Sure hope you have been enjoying all the cards we've been sharing with you highlighting some of the new Marci and Luka line!!  Today, I am sharing a card I made using Birthday Marci.  She will be available in rubber at La-La Land Crafts Store on September 15th!

I wanted this card to speak FUN..FUN..FUN!!  So, I decided to use these fabulous designer papers by My Mind's Eye!  There's border punching, a rolled flower made with the same paper I used to make the bottom border of the card, and I also added a sweet little "Happy Birthday" tag sentiment to the card and tied it to the bold red ribbon!

Birthday Marci's been colored in with Copics and her sweet little panda bear has been layered to pop right out, and the Spellbinder label that Birthday Marci is on also has pop dots too!  Birthday Marci's all ready to wish that special girl a very happy birthday!!

BIRTHDAY MARCI - "Happy Birthday"

And, in case you are interested..you can find SWEET DREAMS MARCI  and PIRATE LUKA as digi's right in the La-La Land Store for purchase today!!

Come back for more inspiration later at 2pm PST!!  Eva's gonna have another project to share with you, and you are gonna LOVE IT!!

Enjoy your day!!

Hello, Marci!

Hello, everyone! I am so excited! This is my first post to the La-La Land blog since we have changed the format to something bigger and better ;D We are no longer having a weekly challenge. Instead, we will showcase a new card EVERYDAY on the blog with each of the design team members drafting the posts. A shiny brand new CUSTOMER GALLERY has been created for all of the fabulous La-La Land Customer creations and once a month we will hold a Customer Appreciation Day where one person will be selected to receive a wonderful prize. Sounds great! I have taken a peek in the Customer Gallery and we already have some beautiful cards in there, so thank you to everyone who has christened the gallery, and to everyone else...we can't wait to see your cards ;D Be sure to stop by the Customer Gallery frequently for added inspiration.

My card today features one of the new images illustrated by Irina herself ;D I knew this woman was talented, but I had no idea she was going to surprise us with a whole new line of images! This is Sweet Dreams Marci and she is one of 5 images that will be officially released on September 15th. Sweet Dreams Marci and Pirate Luka are currently available in the shop as digi images for a limited time. Once they're gone, you'll have to wait until September 15th and then they will be available in rubber ;D I have to tell you, this new line of images is super special. They are a dream to color and they will add personality to any card or layout creation. Pick yours up in the shop today!

Ballerina Marci and MORE!!!

Hello, I'm Jan, one of La-La Land's guest designers and I have the pleasure

of sharing my Ballerina Marci card with you today! Isn't she just adorable?!

Ballerina Marci is a new release and will be available as a rubber stamp September 15th at our La La Land Crafts store.

For my card today I colored Marci with Copic markers, the layout is sketch #69 from Sweet Sunday Sketches. I used Basic Grey Kioshi papers and some of my favorite Spellbinders dies. Ballerina Marci is so much fun to color and such an outstanding image. I wanted to keep my card simple so she'd be the center of attention just as a cute ballerina should be!

If you haven't visited in a while, I'd like to tell you that we have made some changes around La La Land! Now, you will get to see a new post each and every day... by our talented Design Team!! How fun!

Also, we won't be doing our Wednesday challenges, however, we have a CUSTOMER GALLERY (link at the top of blog) in which our customers can link their La La creations anytime they want and then once per month we will have a CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY and award a customer with a prize--to thank you for being a customer and sharing with us your lovely creations!!

Arrgh! It's Pirate Luka...

Hi everyone, Jana here! I'm so excited, I finally got a chance to sit down and play with the adorable new Pirate Luka - isn't he the sweetest?? I was so excited when I first saw this little guy - especially since my little guy has such a love of Pirates (and the word Aarrrgh) He's part of the new Marci and Luka line of stamps illustrated by our very own Irina - amazing isn't she??

I sat down and colored this little guy in, then thought - I have the perfect paper to go with him! The pirate ship paper is from a DCWV stack called All About Boys. ...pretty cute, huh?? The skull paper is some old retired SU! dsp, and i thought the little bit of green ribbon helped bring out the green of Luka's little Parrot, without adding much femininity to the card.

Pirate Luka is only available as a digital download for a few more days, so you'd best hurry. But don't worry, he'll be coming out in rubber REAL soon! However, if you haven't seen the latest Marci...she's another beauty!! Sweet Dreams Marci is over in the store right now too - you can go get them both! :-)

Lastly, we are no longer doing our Wednesday challenges, but we do now have a CUSTOMER GALLERY in which our customers can link their La La creations anytime they want and then once per month we will have a CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY and award one customer with a prize--to thank you for being a customer and sharing with us your amazing creations!!

Sweet Dreams Easel

Hello *Ü* This is Kristine and I'll be posting here each Wednesday. I apologize for the late post today, but we had power outages last night when I tried to pre-post, so it had to wait til this a.m. Anywhoo... I have this little easel card using SWEET DREAMS MARCI, and having 2 girls of my own, I decided to make this a slumber party invite.
I paper-pieced her night gown, and put her in her sweet little girls' room with cute wallpaper and carpet, and even some lacy curtains! Whaddaya think?

Sweet Dreams Marci was released just yesterday as a digi in the shop... but will only be there for ONE WEEK, so hurry on over to buy her up!! She comes in full color and line drawing!!

Also, Pirate Luka (a boy!) is available as a digi right now too, but only for a couple more days!

If you haven't visited in a while, I'd just like to mention that we have made some changes around LaLa Land! Now, you will get to see a new post each and every day... by the talented Design Team!! How fun!

Also, we won't be doing our Wednesday challenges, however, we have a CUSTOMER GALLERY (link at the top of blog) in which our customers can link their LaLa creations anytime they want and then once per month we will have a CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY and award a customer with a prize--to thank you for being a customer and sharing with us your lovely creations!! *Ü*
