Luka is hot, hot, HOT!!!

Don't you just love little Luka?? and as a fireman? ADORABLE!!! And you can have him for his very own in digital format - just head over to the La-La Land crafts digi store!

He works so well with this fabulous Basic Grey paper...and the mojo183 sketch. I had blast coloring him, although I see on this up close photo that I didn't get everything blended perfectly.

And for the inside? I pulled out the original Twisted Sentiments set from My Favorite Things. I think I'll have to send this to a friend of mine who's dh is a firefighter...she can give it to him for a special occasion!

More Lovin from LaLa Land!

Howdy Lala Landers, happy Thursday! I've got another black and white image for you today, this time using the adorable new Amour Luka! Now what woman would love to get this card from her sweetie?? Isn't he adorable with his heart box of chocolates and red rose?

I used some SU! dsp for this one along with a sentiment from MFT's Clearly Sentimental about Love set. I dressed up the bow with a felt heart (cut with the heart Die-Namics also from MFT) an SU! button and some twine. Adorable, no??

Heading to CHA this winter?? Lucky you!! Be sure to go say hi to Irina and Eric, our lovely leaders here in LaLa Land, and the other LaLa Ladies while you're there. Irina's got some great make and take's planned, and they'll have TONS of amazing samples (some even created by ME!) to get those creative juices flowing!! They'll be in the new exhibitor's pavilion booth # 4607. Have a great time, and tell them all hi from me while you're there!

New Lukas and Marcis in RUBBER!!!

Happy Valentine's Day to you! La-La land Crafts is releasing their fabulous 4 new love themed stamps in rubber today along with our adorable Formal Luka and Fancy Dress Marci! You can check them out on the La-La Land Crafts blog and if you leave a comment on today's post, you could win ALL 6 STAMPS!!! You must leave your comment by midnight Sunday, January 16th to be eligible! Keep coming back for more inspiration using these adorable images!

 Here I've got a quick and simple card I made using Sweetheart Marci - isn't she just the cutest? I altered a sentiment from an MFT PI set by hand writing the "s" at the end of Hearts...cute, no??

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Marci and Luka are heading to the formal!

When I saw this week's Mojo Monday sketch this idea popped into my head, and I couldn't shake it. I thought it would be so fun to put Marci and Luka's smiling faces into these circles, so I just went with it!!

I used some fabulous Echo Park Paper Co. paper I picked up at one of my LSS last month when I met up with Irina and Eva to get stamps and say hi. Isn't it gorgeous?? I love the different colors for the musical notes! I did flip the sketch around a little bit, and I made the sentiment on my computer and printed it out since I didn't have a stamp with this phrase exactly. And since Marci and Luka here are both digis (and you did hear that ALL the Marci and Luka stamps are now available in digital format, right??) this card has no traditional stamping at all! WOW! And, this sweet little card is perfect for today's Moxie Fab Love challenge?! I thought so! Why don't you play along too??

Have a great Thursday everyone! And don't forget to link up your LaLa Land creations on the blog for your chance to win FREE stamps!!!

A Scrapbook Page by ME?? WOW!

Before I get to my project, I have some exciting news for you all - LaLa Land is having a HUGE sale TOMORROW, the Friday BEFORE Black Friday! So be sure to come back to the blog, or straight to the LaLa Land Boutique midnight tonight (Pacific Standard Time!) to check it out!

I have to admit, I don't often scrapbook with paper anymore having switched over to digital scrapbooking recently, but when I sat down to work with the newest Marci and Luka images (only available digi right now, but rubber is coming SOON) all I could picture is this photo of my parents taken over 50 years ago when they were in high school and going to a formal dance. Of course, no one can FIND the photo now...but as soon as I do I'll be scanning it in to fit onto this page!

Since I know the photos is black and white, I wanted those to be the primary colors on the page. However, I also know that my mom's dress was blue, so I wanted to add a touch of blue. I thought marina mist would work well.

I used some new SU! dsp for the base of the page, then I created my photo layer (the vanilla) with the 2 mats (black and marina mist) and I put those on top of the Marina Mist satin ribbon layered under the lace. I added the satin bow on top (along wtih a little extra narrow vanilla grosgrain) and then added the rhinestone accent as well.

I made the roses for the corner of the photo using the MFT rolled rose dienamics die and some vanilla and marinna mist cs that was sponged. I added some cream pearls to the centers, then adhered them around the upper left corner.

For my stamped images, I printed them on vanilla cs and colored them with my W00, 01, 03, 05 and 07 markers. Then I added just a touch of blue (b93) to both Marci and Luka (see if you can spot his, it's pretty small!) I cut them both out and then created ovals for them using more dsp layered on some Marina Mist cs. Don't Marci and Luka look adorable all dressed up for their prom?

I hope you've enjoyed this...I promise I"ll post an updated version once I get the photo onto this page, and mount it in a frame for my folks. Perhaps it can be their 49th wedding anniversary present in February! (sh...don't tell them, and stop reading mom!)

Ahoy there Matey!

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm back with a fun Pirate Luka card for you all today from LaLa Land Crafts. My little Jackson turned 2 just under 2 weeks ago now, and he had a pirate party! I had colored this Luka to use for that, but then ran out of time to do more...so I finally created a card with him this week!

I colored Luka with my Copics, then I used some MFT mini bradlets for the buttons on his coat. Don't you just love them?? The fabulous paper is again from the SU! Newsprint DSP pack (thanks Michelle for helping me out!!) and the layout is this week's Sketch for You to try from Jen del Muro. Super fun, isn't it??

I'm going to tell you all a little secret...there's something new coming from LaLa Land tomorrow...so be sure to come back and see!! You'll be singing with glee and skating on clouds!

I'll leave you with a photo of MY little pirate, Captain Jack! Have a wonderful day!

Football Luka goes Nostalgic

I decided I wanted to try this black and white technique again, and that football Luka would be perfect to try it with. His outfit is very reminescent of the football uniforms of old...and it made me think of my dad when he played football in college. So here is, all dressed up in his Maine Black Bears uniform!

I used some fun October Afternoon paper "Norm's News" (both sides of it for the newsprint and the houndstooth.) I used Jen DelMuro's Sketch for You to Try from this week for the layout, and punched the sides of the rectangle with the notepage punch.

I added the sentiment from the new Cheerleader and Football Digi Sentiment set to finish off the card. If you haven't been over to check out all the new stamps yet, be sure you do...they are amazing!!

Introducing NEW Luka stamp!

I have new Luka and Marci stamps to share with you today...they are FABULOUS! I am so in love with Luka - he's just adorable and SOOO much fun to color! We have Luka with Truck (the stamp I got to play with today shown below) Football Luka, and Winter Marci. Also, we've got a great set of digital sentiments for you that are perfect to go with Cheerleader Marci and Football Luka - you'll LOVE them!

I got my color inspiration from this fabulous Tuesday Afternoon paper (Li'l Man) and went with blues, oranges, reds and browns.

I colored Luka with my copics, and used this week's great sketch from Mercy for my layout. I added some ribbon slides to spell out Jack as well...a perfect card for my little man who just turned 2!

Be sure to go to the LaLa Land Crafts Blog to see all the great new stamps, and some fabulous samples for each of them!! Then, head on over to the Boutique to get YOUR stamps!

Julia's bookmark..

Julia made a bookmark to participate in the most recent Children's challenge using my new Star Boy Luka from LaLa Land stamps. Isn't it awesome?? she's getting so good at cutting out her images...and she used two shades on his hair to add some shadows!! She also added Luka's fun dog, Tuffy!!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

So, I'm guessing you all want to see my card? I'm showcasing Super Star, Luka's secret identity! Isn't he just the cutest thing since my own little guy? I really LOVE coloring these new Marci and Luka stamps. They are so much fun to work with - so much room to color...it's amazing!

Here's Super Star looking out the window watching for crime to stop! He's ready to soar into action at a moments notice. This week's Sketch For You To Try was perfect for these two sets together. The new Super Hero Window set comes with this fabulous round window (perfectly sized to be cut with the largest die from Standard Circles Small Nestabilites set) and several sentiments and extra images to match both Super Star and Super Cupcake. I have to say...these are my favorite Marci and Luka stamps so far...and the window just adds the perfect backdrop for them!!

Now, be sure to keep hopping along to Karen's blog...I happen to know she has an AMAZINGLY cute card to share with you all! Happy hopping...then on to the SHOPPING!
