LaLa Land Challenge - Embossing

Its time for another challenge at LaLa Land Crafts, and this week the challenge is embossing. I am really not an embosser, so this challenge is always a hard topic for me. But, I pulled out my embossing folders and got to work with this card.

I used some K&Company papers from their Julienne collection, which I just adore. I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing folder for the white panel behind the image, and serves as my embossing for the challenge requirements. The colors are just gorgeous of this paper, and it broke my heart to cover any of it up! I paired them up with Roller Skate Marci, whom is adorable!
I colored Marci up with copics.

Creatalicious DT - Anything goes

This month at Creatalicious our theme is Anything Goes. I love these themes, as it is so much fun to just see where your creativity takes you. I made an early Halloween card for this month, as October is quickly approaching (isn't this year flying by???). I used this adorable new digi from the Greeting Farm, Cheeky kitty, Isn't she just adorable???

I used some of my old Halloween papers in my stash by Recollections. I think they are last years papers, or the years before. I am really not that into Halloween, so I do not have a lot to choose from, but wanted to use this adorable image as a Halloween card for a friend for this year. I think they are perfect.
I colored this cutie with copics.

Skin - E21, E00, E000, R20

Hair - E35, YR23, Y23

Cat Suit - W5, W3, W1, W00
I added some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers to my card. I used a large white trellis rose, which I sprayed with Raven Glimmer Mist to make it the black/dark purple color (love this color for Halloween cards). I also used white 15mm roses, which I sprayed with key lime pie glimmer mist to match the card color. I then added some Martha Stewart frond punches as the leaves.
I finished off the inside panel with more of the design paper and a lovely lime green ribbon and bow.
I hope you join us at Creatalicious for our Anything Goes challenge.

LaLa Land Challenge - Use a Doily

This week at LaLa Land Crafts, we were challenged to use a doily. This is not really a challenge for me, as I love using doilies on my cards, such a great feminine touch. Here is my take for this week's challenge:

I used this gorgeous Bo Bunny paper, which I love the shabby chic feel of it. I did not want to cover it up too much, so I kept the embellies to a minimum. I added the doily behind the image, which I love to do, to just see a bit of it peeking out, so feminine. I picked Fancy Marci to use this week, as I love her and think she is just such a little lady, which was perfect for this shabby chic card.
I colored Marci with copics.

Skin - E21, E00, E000, R20, R30

Hair - E25, E31, E50

Dress - R02, R00, R0000, E44, E43, E42, E41

Shoes - E44, E43, E42, E40
I added some pretty Prima layered flowers with pearls. They are so delicate, such a great touch. I also thought a Tim Holtz Adage ticket was perfect for a sentiment, I distressed it a bit too.
I hope you will pop over to LaLa Land Crafts to see what my other teamies have come up with, as they are amazing!

LaLa Land Challenge - Anything but a card.

This week at La La Land Crafts, we were challenges to create something other than a card. These challenges are always so much fun, as it forces me to think outside the box and create something new. This week I decided to create a tag. This tag is something near and dear to my heart, I created a tag for 9/11.

My brother is a fireman, and this image, Fireman Luka, is one of my faves. I wanted to make something special in remembrance of the tenth anniversary of September 11, so this little tag was perfect. I cannot believe it has been 10 years already, but we will never forget how we felt that day our country was attacked. Luckily, I feel like we have become a stronger nation. My heart goes out to the families who lost a loved one, and especially to the families of the brave firemen, as that is so close to my heart. We will never forget you all!!!
I colored this cutie with copics.

I sprayed the tag with Red Velvet and Denim Glimmer Mist, then used one of my Tim Holtz flame stamps to stamp the background images. I also distressed the edges with Chipped Sapphire Distress ink. The stars are grungeboard which I painted with white dabber paint and added Rock Candy crackle paint to the top. I printed the sentiment from my computer, and then distressed it with Chipped Sapphire Distress ink.
I hope you will pop over to LaLa Land Crafts and see the other amazing projects my teamies came up with, I am sure you will be inspired.
