Dress Up Marci...She's So Stylish!!

Sharing Dress Up Marci today...who is now available in RUBBER, along with two more stamps, Fireman Luka & Jesalyn by La-La Land Crafts!!!

Today, I am highlighting how stylish this little lady is, so I made a classy and elegant style of note card today! I'm thinking...it's always nice to have on hand a card without any sentiment ready or on the front! That way, with the leftover papers, I can always use them up later by carrying the theme to the inside of the card and make the sentiment or quote specific to when I need to send off this card!! Oh, that button you see..it's all rhinestones! I think it goes perfectly for this card, and it's made by My Mind's Eye, as well as the designer papers I used for my card!

So, let me see your Marci style!  It's a new month and you can upload your La-La Land Crafts projects to the Customer Gallery for a chance at a prize!!

Enjoy your day!

Hugs & Smiles,

Karen

Capri Hello

Happy Monday to you all. How was your weekend? Busy or relaxed? Mine was both busy and relaxed! Is that possible?

I think that Capri Marci had a very relaxed weekend too, I've used her today in my make and she looks quite chilled-out don't you think?

She is available as a Rubber Stamp and as a Digi-stamp.

Perhaps she is just doing the warm downs from her yoga session - what do you think?

Well hope you all have a good week.

Before I go don't forget that we have NEW Rubber stamps available - Dress Up Marci, Fireman Luka and Jesalyn are all now available in Rubber and you can get them here on the blog!

Have fun

So precious...

Ah! Ok, so I am a procrastinator.  Anyone else wanna fess up, too? LOL! I was supposed to post for La-La Land Crafts at 2pm today...it's after 5pm.  I think I might have missed it by JUST a bit. Apologies!  I've been working with several friends on a 40 year birthday scrapbook surprise for my friend from elementary school.  I should have known that we would work way past our planned time frame.  But it's what I love to do.  For me, doing stuff alone...not so bueno.  I get stuck a lot.  Crafting with friends is the BESTEST!

BUT here it is! My Sunday contribution to the wonderful La-La Land Crafts blog as a guest designer.  It's beautiful Fancy Dress Marci!  You can adopt her into your family in digi here or in rubber here.  The paper is from the DCWV Linen Closet Stack with a little tulle ribbon added and some Tim Holtz Distress Ink to shade the edges a bit.  It might not be easy to see, but Marci's dress is all paper pieced (top, ribbon sash, skirt, and skirt sash.  There are also just a few pearl embellishments because when I think fancy, I think pearls.  The ovals are Spellbinders Scalloped Ovals and the base ink for Marci is Memento Tuxedo Black with all other colors courtesy of trusty ol' Copic Markers.

I'm very happy to share Fancy Dress Marci because she has some serious style...something I lack personally.  LOL! Have a great rest of the day! Yours truly, the procrastinator :)

Aloha,
Renate'

Free Pattern: Thick and Thin Striped Beanie - Premie

Find the newborn size here.
Find the 3 month size here.
Find the 6 month size here.
Find the 9-12 month size here.

One of my best friends recently found out that she is having a little boy.  There aren't as many cute hats for boys as there are for girls, but I think this stripey beanie will do him justice.  :)

It should measure about 11" around and about 4.5" from top to bottom.

Dreaming of Summer Days

Hello! It's Kim here today sharing this fun card featuring Capri Marci. She is available in rubber at our online store! I have only have one stack of October Afternoon papers and I always seem to forget to use it! LOL Oh and I totally forgot what line is this? LOL Sentiment is by Lilly of the Valley.

 

Since I had some scraps after making the above card, I used it and altered these binding clips. These are the extra large clips. I LOVE to altered these clips! They are great to have when you need a handmade gift! They are super quick and easy to make too!

Well, that's all I have for now. I do hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
