Spring/Easter in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we are getting ready for Easter and Spring. I think my fenced egg box is a little bit of both. The box base was cut on my cameo using a design from the Silhouette store. I replaced the grass from that design with the La-La Land Tulip border. I also made a platform for my large Easter eggs to sit in and cut a hole using one of my stitched circles dies so it would sit nicely. The butterfly has a thin strip of acetate holding it up and giving it a fluttery movement everytime the box is moved.

The cute little mousey is from the La-La Land Stump set. You can find the retired rubber stamp set HERE (if still available) or HERE in digi.

Doilies in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we are using Doilies. La-La Land Crafts have some wonderful doily dies and I have used one here in the background. I also used a Prima paper pad and fussy cut the overlays of the dress from a pattern with lace/doilies on. I paper pieced the underskirt, sash and headband after giving them the glitter treatment - glitter looks so nice on stage ;) The bottom sections of the dress overlay are raised up to give some movement to her dress.

Aurora Wings Challenge #13

This month our Aurora Wings Challenge is....ANYTHING GOES!

Recently one of the ladies in the Facebook group commissioned this fabulous microbiologist image called Cultured from Mitzi. This image immediately appealed to me having worked in micro labs for 20+ years :) I have also found a number of other crafty friends have the same science background which is always fun. I used some microscopy images as my background paper and overlaid her onto them before printing - this completed my nerdy science design and was perfect for an upcoming birthday for a fellow microbiologist.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the AMAZING DT inspiration on our BLOG. We also have a very active Facebook Fan Group with additional contests, challenges and inspiration.  We hope to see you there.

Use Something New in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we are...... 

Using Something New

I had a hard time trying to figure out what I had in my craftroom that was new and unloved - although truth be told there is probably quite a LOT of things I have in there that I bought with the intention of using them - LOL. I ended up deciding to unpack the Zutter Bow-it-all V2 I got for Christmas. I have always been a boweasy girl but I do like the fact you can make layered bows with different sized loops with the Zutter. A quick check on Youtube to see how to use it and I had a 3 looped bow with graduating sized loops. LOVE IT! Unfortunately the sheer ribbon I used makes it a little hard to see in the photo - but it's lovely and full IRL.

A Bit of Fun with Simply Betty Stamps

I don't often get a chance to play with images and things outside of my DT and other commitments so it was really nice to do something different for a change. This is Goblin Queen by Simply Betty Stamps. She was a snap freebie from the SBS Facebook Page and if you requested her you were asked to create a card within a few days. Sadly Betty has had people join the group just for the freebies and then leave again so she's had to close the group after each freebie is released until it's only available instore. I wanted to make sure I could honour the commitment if I took this cutie,

We were asked to do her up in either a light or a dark version - needless to say I went light. I printed her onto some gorgeous digi paper from bearly Mine Designs - unfortunately they have gone out of business due to the new VAT rules in the UK :( . I printed the same paper out again to use as my background. I love using this technique as I get a gorgeous background for my image and matching papers on my card.

St.Patrick's Day or Good Luck in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we got the choice to do either a St.Patrick's Day card or a Good Luck card. I guess it's not too hard to figure out which way I went - LOL.

I designed and cut out the card base using my silhouette cameo, and added a couple of die cuts, Marci and flowers. The white words have been done in 2 layers - with the top layer glittered up for a bit of fun. The layers do line up properly - it just looks like they don't because of the angle I took the photo.

Three Types of Embellishments in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we are using at least 3 different embellishments on our cards. For my card I've added die cuts, ribbon, pearls and rhinestones. Shock and horror - no flowers from me today - LOL. Little Marci's clothes were paper pieced - I think she's adorable in her gorgeous spotted onesie and cap :)
