It's Halloween in La-La Land


I gave myself a challenge for this card - to use one of the new release images for Halloween - usually that's pretty easy but this year we had Winter and Christmas images only so I had to think outside the box! Did I manage to pull it off????

A Special Wedding Card...


As this post publishes I will be watching the eldest daughter of one my best friends walk down the aisle. This is the card I made for the happy couple and it's the result of an amazing card I saw recently on Pinterest. I knew it was something I wanted to try! The hidden secret to this card is this....


.....A full blown 3D rose, isn't it FABULOUS! It stands about 1.5 inches high and is about 4 inches wide. I found the cut file for this HERE, and there is a video you can watch to see how it all goes together. I did tweak the file a little as the original version has this crammed into a single folded spine card. Maybe I use thicker papers but I decided to give the rose more room so it wouldn't get crushed. I created an extra fold line and moved the fold lines apart. A simple fix. I also chose to dampen the petals to shape them rather than add fold lines - just a personal preference.


The card is held closed by a white satin ribbon I attached before attaching the cover piece. It's simply tied into a bow at the side.

The gorgeous image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and can be found HERE

Aurora Wings Challenge #19


This week over at Aurora Wings Challenges  our theme is Dia de los Muertos. Mitzi has some wickedly FABULOUS darker images and I chose to use the Bone Queen (available in the Etsy Store or HERE in the shop). I must admit I printed her out and asked myself WHY I had chosen her...but like any colouring the trick is to start and see where the journey takes you. My journey ended up with khaki poppies with blood red centers - and I have to admit this is one of my favourite projects at the moment! 

I popped her in a shadow box frame and added some deliciously grungy flower corners....even my hubby said he liked this one - LOL.

For a Friend in La-La Land


Today in La-La Land we are creating "For a Friend" and I thought a birthday card would do the trick. With Summer just around the corner here I thought this light and breezy colour palette was the perfect choice and gave Marci sun bleached hair to match.

Anything Goes in La-La Land


This week in La-La Land we are playing with "Anything Goes". I had this little Paper Doll Marci sitting on my desk all coloured up so I put her to good use. I used a white sharpie paint pen to add the pattern detail onto her kimono - just a simple design but I love how it came out. The papers are all glittery and I used glitter washi tape too - this sparkles beautifully IRL.
