LLWWC50: Christmas time already?

I hope you all enjoyed the big birthday celebration for LaLa over the past week...I know I had tons of fun! This week in LaLa Land we're getting a head start on our Christmas cards! Kim challenged us all to make Christmas cards this week - which is one of my favorite things to do, and since she is using Sweet Rosie, that stamp will be 20% off all week long!

I decided to use this cute little Cocoa Whiskers stamp - he looks so cozy with his cup of hot chooclate there with his buddy the bird. I ccolored the image with my copic markers, and cut it out with my nestabilities. The card uses some Basic Grey papers from my stash (nutmeg maybe?) along with some chocolate chip satin ribbon and the new antique brads from SU! LOVE em!!

Be sure to visit the LaLa Land Crafts blog to see all the amazing creations today, and to enter YOUR Christmas card to win a gift certificate to the LaLa Land Boutique, and the prestige of being a LaLa land winner!!

LLWWC49: Shakin' things up!

Today in LaLa Land we're shaking things up a bit, with Shaker Cards, this week's challenge from Maureen. I have to admit it's been a long time since I've made a shaker card, but this was quite fun! Be sure to visit the LaLa Land blog to see all the shaker cards the team has made, and to enter your own shaker card for a chance to win!

For my card this week I used this adorable Santa LaLa, colored with copics. I added some light blue microbeads inside the shaker to simulate snow. Super fun, huh??

Have a great week everyone...and I hope to see YOUR LaLa creations soon!

LLWWC48: Upcycle it!

This week's challenge comes to us from Cheryl Valdez, a recent (and fabulous!) addition to the LaLa team!! She challenged us to Upcycle something we would otherwise throw away. Cool huh?? I chose a General Food International House Coffee tin that I've had sitting around to alter (I mean, who can throw those adorable little tins away??) and turned it into a fun little holder for halloween treats using Pumpkin LaLa. Isn't she adorable??

Since I'm pre-posting, I'm not sure which set will be on sale this week, so be sure to hit the LaLa Land blog for all the details, and get to creating YOUR upcycle'd project so you can be our next winner!!

LLWWC46: Step-cards (but they're not ugly!)

Kristine Breach is BACK from her break, and gave us a fabulous challenge this week - to make a step card. There are a few different kinds out there, but I choose to do the Stair Step card following the SCS tutorial. It was lots of fun to make! Our nanny's mother had a birthday this week, so Nanny J. needed a card for her and this is what we came up with! Sweet LaLa was colored to look like Nanny J. so I got to practice making brown hair and eyes!

We'd love to have you all play along with us this week. Make your own step card featuring one of our super fun LaLa Land stamps and then head over to the LaLa Land Crafts blog to link up your creation. And, since Kristine is using LaLa On a Swing, that great stamp is on sale for 20% off all week!!!
