Welcome to my showcase of the La-La Land Craft's January Club Kit. For more information on the fabulous Club you can find all the information HERE. Just note that Club products (stamps and dies) will not be available for purchase outside of the kits until 12 months after their release!!!

This month the stamps and dies have a celestial feel to them with the gorgeous filigree moon, stars and star border dies working beautifully with the sweetest Marci and the elements stamp set. I know this are going to be a popular kit among those in the club.

Here are my 2 projects - I hope you like them.......

One For The Boys in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land is time for the boys to shine. I love little Luka but like most of us I tend to use Marci so I can add pretty flowers and bling - my comfort zone - LOL. But this little guy and the new Tools Border makes creating for the boys fabulously easy.

Aurora Wings Challenge - Pro/Con Valentine's

This challenge was a hard one for me to play along with as my father passed away on Valentine's Day when I was 18 years old and I haven't celebrated it since. I asked Mitzi if it was OK to use this gorgeous image - Profile of a Woman with Roses -  as I think the roses work well with the theme but the woman looks sad and reflective- which kinda suits the way I am on Valentines. I hope you like it.

Funky Colours in La-La Land

 

This week in La-La Land we are playing with Funky Colours. As you can see I decided to give Marci a bright blue rinse - LOL. I must admit I was cursing with all the ruffles on her dress as I was cutting for paper piecing - but I'm glad I made the effort in the end.

I also shortened the lacy border die cuts but chopping them off and matching the scallops up - the cuts aren't too noticeable and makes the dies even more versatile.

Some Christening Cards

Recently I was asked to make 3 Christening Cards for the son of a family member in England. I didn't have a lot of time to get them done but these are what I came up with. The Christening is today so I hope it all goes beautifully for them. The first one I made using a combination of texture, dies and my silhouette. They wanted one from the Grandparents that was fairly religious in nature and I loved this fancy cross from the Silhouette store found HERE. The paper I used was a shimmery blue card and of course white - a very classic look.

This one I used the gorgeous Baby Boy from Mo Manning - he also comes in bald and curly hair options. I computer generated the sentiment and added a small silver cross sticker.

And finally something more fun. I found this digi stamp on THIS page over at Di's Digi Stamps.

I loved creating a diverse range of cards for this gorgeous little guy.

New Release from Aurora Wings

It's always exciting to get to play with a new release from Aurora Wings - this is the gorgeous Winter Lullaby. She is available at the Aurora Wings Etsy shop here and at the Aurora Wings web shop here. 

I decided because she was so free form to use pastel colours that could blend into the background adding to the illusion of softness. I know some of the other gals have gone in a completely opposite direction and their work looks AMAZING, so don't forget to check out the rest of the DT inspiration on our blog HERE. We also have a very active Facebook Fan Group with additional contests, challenges and inspiration.  We hope to see you there.

CHA Release #2

More CHA fun from me today with a 3D project using the La-La Land Trinket Box kit. This little cutie was released to our retreat guests back in October and I have been itching to colour her up since. I wanted to try her in a different colourway to what was used at the retreat - as much as I LOVED the burgundy hues. I hope you like her in blue :) . I've used a Sakura glitter gel pen on her mask - it glitters it up beautifully.

For the inside of the box I used the gorgeous feather dies....these are going to become a favourite in my craft room I believe - I LOVE feathers and the details on these are just gorgeous.

Once more to remind you - in this release we have 10 NEW Stamps and NEW Dies

Flourishes in La-La Land

This week in La-La Land we are using flourishes. The perfect challenge to bring out some gorgeous blingy swirls to add to my card - I really don't use these enough! I also used the rolled rose die as a little flourish around the bow instead of  in it's usual way. Make sure you look at your dies differently - they are a lot of fun :) I love this Marci too - she a gal with 'tude isn't she?!?!?!
