Challenge #29 Winners!

Posted by Unknown Posted on 3:00 AM with No comments

Hi everybody! Thank you so much for playing in my Pastel Colors challenge last week! Once again I was amazed by all the fantastic entries and had a really hard time choosing the winners. Unfortunately some entries were not eligible to win the $10 credit to the online store or to be picked as Top Three because they did not follow the new requirement that all entries use La-La Land Crafts stamps. If you don't have any yet, why not hop over to the online store and treat yourself to a stamp or two or more? Also, our latest release was all digi so you can get some images right away to play in our next challenge!

Well, enough talk! I know you're here to see who the winners are, so let's get to it!

Kathy with this gorgeous little basket using Easter Bunny:

Kimberly with this beautiful card using Lala with Bunny:

And Elaine with this sweet card using Lala with Rose:

Congratulations ladies! Please email Irina for your Top 3 badge!

Kathy, you are also the winner of the $10 credit to the online store! Please email Irina so she can get that set up for you!

Thanks so much again everyone for playing along this week! We will be posting a fun new challenge tomorrow, so hope to see you then! *Ü*

LLWWC #29, Rosie wishes you a Happy Easter

Hippity Hoppity Hooray! Spring Is Here BLOG HOP

Posted by Unknown Posted on 2:00 AM with No comments

Welcome to La-La Land Crafts' SPRING Release Blog Hop!

You asked and we listened!! We are going DIGITAL!!! All of our images in this release are available as digi stamps!! We can't be more excited to move into this direction. No, we are not going to stop making the rubber stamps.. We are expending our collection by providing you with more options for your paper crafting needs!!

*If you are new to Digi Stamps and not sure how to use them, we have two great tutorials for you right HERE.

To celebrate the release of our new Spring DIGI stamps, we are doing a bunny trail blog hop! Like Peter Cottontail, you need to hop, hop, hippity hop along our blogs. Members of our Design Team and our Guest Designers have made their cards with one of SIX new Spring DIGI stamps, which they are now showing on their blogs.

To make the Blog Hop even more fun, along with the cards you will find some clues (a secret word or two) on every blog. When you follow the order of the Blog Hop and get to the end, you will have collected all of the words and will be able to put them together into a sentence. When you are done, you will need to come back to La-La Land Crafts Blog and leave your comment under this post.

What's in it for you?
Besides seeing all the gorgeous cards from our Design Team? The winner of the Blog Hop will receive all the goodies in the picture below!!!

- Webster's Pages 6" x 6" Lullaby Lane & Life's Portrait Combo Pack
- Prima Flowers Athena Flowers Coral pack
- Spellbinders Tulips Impressabilites

- Flower Soft in Sweet Pea
- Three packs or Mark Richards jewels

- our Sweet Friends Rosie stamp

What's even more? While on your treasure hunt for secret words, you might even find some more treats offered by our designers!

Best of all, I have some great news for you!! All of these DIGITAL stamps are already available for purchase in our online store at $4.25 per image or get ALL SIX for $20.00 as our limited time Spring Bundle... an AWESOME savings of 20%!

What do you have to do to join our Blog Hop?

* Start your Blog Hop here at the La-La Land Crafts' blog.

* Each DT Member will guide you to the next Blog during the Blog Hop.

* Collect all of the secret words and put them together into a sentence.

* The final stop is back here at La-La Land Crafts Blog where you have to leave your comment under this post. IMPORTANT!! Do not reveal your answer in your comment! We will contact the winner for the answer. If the answer is incorrect we will draw the winning number again.

One entry per person please. We will draw the winning number from all the entries next Wednesday, March 10th , around 10 am PST. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if you don't have a blog! We will ship internationally too!

We would really appreciate it if you could help spread the word about our Blog Hop on your blog or just by the word of mouth if you don't have a blog :-)

Before I let you go onto your Blog Hop, I would like to show you the card that I had made with the new digi stamp called Easter Maya :-) Can you say ADORABLE!!!

I printed the image at 3.5" onto Bazzill Coconut Swirl cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. More details about this card can be found on my personal blog here.

I won't hold you any longer, I know you are ready to hop ;-) Your first secret word is... Hopping

Now.. Hop, hop, hippity hop over to Jane's blog to find your second clue!

oh.. and if you get lost along the way, here is the list of all the stops that you need to make :-)

Time sure flies.. especially when you are having fun.. How true is that??!! I just can't believe that it has already been two months since Cheryl and Pam had joined our team as the Guest Designers and now is the time to say goodbye.. Before we let them go, I wanted to share with you their GORGEOUS work for La-La Land Crafts..

LLLC cards by Cheryl Rowley

LLLC cards by Pam Sparks

Pam and Cheryl, we are going to miss both of you SO MUCH!!!

Now I am going to wipe off my tears and introduce to you our new Guest Design Team!!! We are very excited to have these super talented ladies on our team for the next two months!!!

1LuvnMama of Luvn The Journey

I can’t begin to tell you when I started crafting. As a little girl, I played sports and goofed around. It wasn’t until middle school that I chose art over band. My love for anything artsy continued through college where I took more art classes such as paper-making and weaving. Yes, they had such classes at the University. Then one year in the early 1990’s, my cousin and I decided to make homemade Christmas cards. It was our tradition until the children entered our lives.
Over the years, I’ve collected and accumulated a whole bunch of craft stuff. I feel like such a hoarder because I continue to buy the latest products as my hubby allows me. I am a SAHM to 2 beautiful children whom I love dearly . . . hence my name, 1LuvnMama! I’m considered a newbie to the blog world, but have since enjoyed every moment of it! I’ve learned much from other very talented crafters and have made wonderful friendships along the way. I am honored and humbled to JOURNEY through this experience of stamping and crafting with such a great TEAM! Special thanks & mahalo to Irina for giving me this wonderful opportunity!

Jana of Stamp With Jana

I'm a stamp at home mom with 2 young children, a daughter of 7 and son who is 1. I've been stamping for over 8 years now, but really started exploring the craft when my family lived in Germany for 2 years. I started blogging my cards back in 2006 after our move overseas, and started playing with all the different stamping products out there. Now, after being back in the States for 1.5 years my addiction is as strong as ever, and I'm so excited to have this opportunity to work with Irina and the other La-La Land ladies!! So, come stamp with my at my blog, Stamping With Jana!

Sparkle of Sparkle Creations

Yes, Sparkle is my real name. I'm half Hmong and half Chinese. My ethnic names translate to "shiny light", hence why my parents chose Sparkle as my American name. I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon and now live in Seattle, Washington with my wonderful husband, Brent. I have been stamping and scrapbooking since I was a teen and am excited to be a guest designer! I look forward to seeing all the lovely creations.

Please join me in giving a big warm welcome to 1LuvnMama, Jana and Sparkle!!! Welcome to the team girls!!!

Hugs!!
