Happy Birthday LaLa!!!

Something special is happening in LaLa Land this week - it's a Beach Birthday Bash to celebrate LaLa turning 1 year old! And, she's invited ALL of her friends to come play - including a sweet new friend named Marci. Marci will be making her debut in rubber NEXT month, but for a limited time will be available as a digital download for those who can't wait to start playing with her. And guess what?? This is Owner Irina's first illustration she's created for LaLa Land - pretty awesome, isn't she?!?

We have lots of party games (complete with great PRIZES) for all our guests, so if you didn't start at the LaLa Land Crafts blog, be sure to head back there now so you can visit all the blogs on today's hop for your chance to win the prize! Oh...and we all have Mystery Party Favors to give away, so be sure to leave comments on all the design team members blogs this week to increase your chances of winning some great stamps!

For my birthday card today, LaLa is getting ready for all the fun celebrations in the tub. She wants to be squeaky clean for her party, so she's chilling out in the tub and having a blast. Bubble Lala was colored with copic markers and then cut out to mount on the card. I used some old SU! papers along with some Nana's Nursery Kids dp to make the card look like a bathroom (complete with white paneling and a kiwi kiss chair rail!)

I added some little pearls as bubbles (since I cut that detail off the image when cutting it out) and think they turned out very cute. I also stamped on the inside to create this fun birthday card - something so simple that finishes the card nicely.

Once you've counted all the beach balls on my card, keep on hopping along to see what Karen Maldonado has created for us all today. And be sure to come back every day this week to the LaLa Land Crafts blog as we'll be partying all week long!
