the Best Christmas EVER!!!

I made card similar to this last year with Tilda by Magnolia, and it was one of my favorite cards. Of course now I just had to make one with Lala!!! I chose Ornament Lala for this card. She is just too ADORABLE holding this HUGE Christmas Ornament :-)

This card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".



Window behind Lala is a stamp from Magnolia, you can purchase at Cranberry Hill Mercantile online store or call the store at 408-736-9151 to place your order. I cut out the window panels and place Snowflake vellum paper behind it. I have been hoarding this paper by Making Memories, it is only being used sparingly and for very special cards ;-) The branch in the window and the sentiment are from the same clear stamp set by Hero Arts (I have had it since last year, sorry.. don't know the name of this set). Fiskars border punch for the awning.

Ornament Lala was colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped on the card with foam tape. You can purchase this stamp along with others in our La-La Land Crafts online store, here is the link.

We will have a special treat for you on Wednesday right here on La-La Land Crafts Blog, make sure to come back!!

Hugs!!

Winter Lala

Today is the first time I got to ink my Winter Lala stamp. She is so ADORABLE!!! This stamp is not necessarily a Christmas stamp, it can be used for any winter occasion - Birthday, Thank You, Thinking of You or Just Because cards.

This card measures 6" x 6".




BoBunny Designer paper, LOVE it!!! Fiskars Border punch. Ribbon and button are from my stash. EK Success leaf punch.

Winter Lala was colored with Copic Markers. You can buy this and other La-La Land Crafts stamps in our online store, here is the link.

There is still time to participate in this week's challenge on our blog, you have until Sunday 11:59 pm PST to enter. The challenge is PINK & GREEN, how fun is that??!! Click here for details and to see the samples made by LLLC Design Team and the Guest Designers.

Ornament Lala in Pink & Green

And here is my card for this week's challenge.. To see the cards made by my Design Team and the Guest Designers please scroll down to the post below or click here. We are looking forward to seeing your Pink & Green projects this week, please list them with Mr. Linky on this post.

When I saw this absolutely GORGEOUS paper from We R Memory Keepers, I instantly knew that I was going to make a card with our Ornament Lala!!! Isn't it just perfect??!! And the colors.. it was meant to be ;-) Oh, oh, oh.. and this paper has tons of glitter all over the ornaments!!! Hard to see on photos though, you might have to enlarge them..

This card measures 6" x 6".




The corners were made by punching scalloped circles with Marvy punches, and cut in quarters. Hero Arts flowers. Mark Richardson rhinestones. Ribbon from Michaels. Lala was colored with Copic Markers and popped on dimensionals in front of the ornament that I made with two Nestabilites circles.

You can purchase this Ornament Lala stamp as well as all our stamps in our online store at La-La Land Crafts, here is the link.

Hugs!!

All I Want For Christmas Is...

La-La Land Crafts is sponsoring this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #15! One lucky winner will receive both of these stamps from our Christmas Collection, Angel Lala and Christmas Dress Rosie!!



Randi Barrett is hosting this week's challenge. Randi chose these scriptures for the inspiration:

Matthew 2:11 "After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh."

Matthew 7:7-11: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give what is good to those who ask it."

Randi's challenge is to make a card, layout or other paper craft project that has a GIFT featured in it. Be sure to visit Stampin' Sisters in Christ Blog and enter the challenge there!

And here is my card for the challenge.. I used one of the stamps that are being offered as a prize, Christmas Dress Rosie :-) .



Rosie was colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped up for dimension. BoBunny Designer Paper. The frame, the Christmas Tree with the presents and the sentiment are all the part of the designer paper. I LOVE it!!! Mark Richards Crystal Stickers. Ribbon with the button and the twine in the right corner. That's it!! Quick, easy and ADORABLE :-) !!

Hugs!!
