Time for some Tic Tac Toe



This week in La La Land we are using the Tic tac Toe board to my left. Now I had challenged myself to do a boy's card for our next challenge and I like to try and get a full house done with a Tic Tac Toe board and guess what - I think I pulled it off!!!! Even with flowers, lace, pink and bling in the mix - LOL. I honestly believe that a good challenge helps you improve as it gets you out of a routine and thinking differently.

My ribbon is the burlap ribbon under the black lace - it is a ribbon even if it isn't soft and delicate - promise ;) There are pearls inside the rolled roses and black rhinestone bling between the flags in my banner. The pink appears in the DP I chose.

Turning 50 with Saturated Canary



Recently I made a card for a friend who was turning 50 - a friend who likes pink and lots of bling. I couldn't go past using Blanche from Saturated Canary - she's just perfect! I created the background by first colouring with copics and then dripping colourless blender on to get the watermarked look. Then I coloured in the beautiful Blanche.

I made the paper clay frame and gave it a background of glitter before gluing on the die-cut numbers. The butterflies are also moulded using paper clay - this is such a FUN product to use and I love the texture it adds to a project!

Circles Everywhere in La La Land


This week in La La Land we're seeing circles everywhere  I started making a circle card and had planned to pop the second circle on top - but that didn't give me enough room to play so by moving it off to the side it not only gave me space to play but it also made my card a little more interesting  The flower stamp comes with Marci and I used a gold paint pen to help tie them back to the DP I used. The black rhinestones add texture and sparkle.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #197



This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we are asking you to use Lace and Flowers on your project - pretty easy huh??? I had great fun putting this together and colouring up the background. I don't do it very often so it's nice to do something different and it's one of the joys of having extra time to craft.

Don't forget to check out the amaing inspiration from the rest of my MDUC teamies on our BLOG.

Inspiration Picture


This week in La La Land we're working to an inspiration picture - see left. I've tried to use the colours and elements in the photos to create my card and went with paper piecing for Marci's dress. I reckon it's ended up looking a little retro - what do you think???

Bling it On in La La Land


This week in La La Land we are using sparkle and bling - and lots of it! Now this challenge is close to my heart - I do love a bit of sparkle! I decided to create a watery scene using one of La La Land's wonderful shadow boxes. I used some liquid pearls to add some texture and shine to the shells and then coloured the rest up with my copics. I then finished it all off with some pearls. These frames take colour well although your colours may be slightly different to normal as the base isn't white.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #195



This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we have a fabulous sketch for you to play along with. I loved the filigree frame in the sketch so thought I would start my card with that element. I cut my frame and base out using my Silhouette Cameo and then used some shabby white frantage on the frame to give it some sparkly fun.

Now it may seem I've started on my Christmas cards a tad early - the truth is this Tilda was one of the few that fit my frame - I cut it a tad too small - LOL. But there are never any mistakes in crafting - only opportunities - and this one means I have begun work on my Christmas card stash ;) .

Don't forget to check out what the rest of my teamies have come up with on our BLOG.

Buttons and Bows in La La Land


This week in La La Land we are playing with Buttons and Bows. I thought it would be fun to make an oversized button for my card so I used my cameo to help me cut it out and then covered it with some patterned paper. A bit of string threaded through the holes and tied off with a bow and half my card was done. Once I had finished it off I realised the weight of the giant button meant the card kept rolling off to the right - oops - the joys of a circular card! I used some on the waste card from the "button centres" to counterbalance the card and stuck it on the back and it worked - my card now stands up like it should - live and learn - LOL.
