Anything Goes in La-La Land


This week in La-La Land the DT have been given an "Anything Goes" challenge. I have to say I find these challenges the worst as I have no starting place to work from. I fluff around trying to come up with something and change my mind at least a dozen times. I had NO IDEA what this was going to be until it was almost done - LOL. 

I started with an image (changed several times) and some funky paper to go with it (shame I covered most of it up!). As you can see I ended up with a mini easel card - I love playing with sizes and scale doing these. The flower is a ribbon flower I made.

Special DT Showcase - Marie Antoinette by Aurora Wings


The Aurora Wings DT decided to have a special showcase using the gorgeous Marie Antoinette on the Aurora Wings Showcase Blog. You just HAVE to go over and see the amazing takes on this stunning image - from a Zombie version to classic pastels or rich, deep tones.

There is also an open call for designers for the showcase blog HERE if you want a chance to play with these incredible images.

For my version I printed her out onto some Bearly Mine Designs digi paper leaving the colouring area white. I reprinted the same paper on a larger scale for my card base too. This one has a gorgeous lace border detail so I had to make sure it was sized just right so I wouldn't have to cut any off. I've done this a lot lately and am loving the results.

Copics Used - Skin (E13, E11, E00, E000, R35, R20, R11) plus E89, E87, E84, E37, E35, E59, E30, G17, G14, R37, R35, R32, W5, W3, W2, W00, 100, Y19, Y13

Marci Sings Frozen with Pins and Pearls in La-La Land


This week in La-La Land we are using Pins and Pearls. I have been seeing a lot of versions of the "Let it Go" song from the Disney movie "Frozen" and thought it was time the La-La Landers got to hear their own version as sung by the gorgeous Miss Marci LOL. After paper piecing parts of Marci's dress and headband I smothered them with sparkle using my clear Wink of Stella. It's a bit hard to see in the photos but it looks so pretty IRL. This song gets in your head - even when you are just using it as inspiration for a project ;)

Introducing Fearless Fairy Tales



I was very excited to be asked to help out with the introduction of a fabulous new line of stamps by Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I have used 2 of the six new images in the Fearless Fairy Tales range. For both of my cards I used a digi paper for the background and masked the image onto it leaving the colouring area white. 

For my Little Mermaid card I also used the digi paper to cover a sheet of white card before printing it off and cutting a step fold card out of it. It ties everything together beautifully.

And here's my second card - Cinderella with a bit more attitude than we've come to know LOL.....


There is a whole group of us doing today's showcase - so use the inlink below to find the links for all of the amazing projects on offer. And check out the Little Miss Muffet Store, LMMS blog, and also the LMMS Gallery Blog for more amazing Little Miss Muffet inspiration.

Monochromatic in La-La Land


This week in La-La Land we are going monochromatic. I have to admit to having a little bit of a giggle as I was colouring Marci up in the blue/green range of copics. She kinda looked like a smurf who was a little ill and turning green - or maybe that's just my warped sense of humour LOL. I have used my Sakura glitter pen over the key but it's lush sparkle hasn't shown up so well in the picture.
