Inspiration Monday-- Make a Scene

Posted by Unknown Posted on 2:00 AM with No comments
Good Monday Morning to ya from me, Rosie! :) Now that the holidays are over, are you getting geared up for 2012?! Hard to believe we are 9 days into the New Year! So, do you know what's right around the corner, other than Valentine's Day?

CHA baby!! Yes, that's right....at the end of January will be the next Craft & Hobby Association Convention in Anaheim, California. Now's the time to get with your local scrapbook stores and let them know about La-La Land Crafts so they can scope us out at CHA and bring our stamps to their stores!!

If you haven't been to the LLLC Store in a while, you may have missed some of the new things Irina has added. You should head on over and check out the "OTHER" section... Irina is now carrying sentiment stamps and Cheery Lynn Dies!! The other new items that I'm really loving are the DIGI SCENES....so convenient and easy to use!

So to bring us into our 2nd week of the New Year, our challenge this week is:

MAKE A SCENE

Check out the amazing work our DT did on this challenge! They totally blew me away!!

Computer Issues!

Posted by Unknown Posted on 9:00 AM with No comments
Sadly, I fried my hard drive on my laptop.  That, combined with some stuff I have going on right now with my family, is preventing me from posting any new patterns for a few weeks.  But I have something fun for when I come back, so hopefully that will make up for it.

See you in February!

Free Pattern: Baby Headband - Stretchy

Posted by Unknown Posted on 9:00 AM with No comments


This technique should make it easier for those who want to make a headband without having the kid standing by (or for those of us who prefer them to last a few months instead of weeks).  To overcome the non-stretchiness issue with crochet headbands, I have borrowed a technique I saw somewhere through Pinterest.
