Birthday Wishes

I am hosting a challenge this week on La-La Land Crafts Blog. I would like to see BIRTHDAY cards and projects. Please visit La-La Land Crafts blog to see the samples from our wonderful Desing Team and to participate in this challenge. As always, there the winner receives a $10 credit to La-La Land Crafts online store.



For my card I used some cardstock stickers left over from my Stampin Up days.. All of the elements on this card (frame, tags, flower, corner) are the stickers!! This card came together in no time!!! Sentiment is from Amuse.

I used one of the new stamps from La-La Land Crafts on my card, this is Sitting Pretty Rosie. I just LOVE this stamp, she is just SO LOVELY!! And since I am hosting the challenge, this stamp is on sale this week at La-La Land online store at 20% OFF!!!! Click HERE to purchase this stamp.

Kristine's Birthday

Well, by the time I have finished this card, it is almost a Be-Lated Birthday.. Today was Kristine's Birthday and to celebrate La-La Land Crafts Design Team was having little online party, a Birthday Blog Hop. Jump to La-La Land Crafts blog to see Kristine's "Walk of Fame", and from there you can also see the order of the Hop.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Kristine, Happy Birthday to you!!! ..and MANY MORE!!!!

I fell in love with this card made by Kathy for this week's challenge on La-La Land Crafts Blog. I have been trying to get to use the Coordinations paper and I just loved the look of the sanded candles on Kathy's card.. I know I have not done Kathy's card a justice, but I have tried :-)

Talk about killing three birds with one bullet!!! This card is the Birthday card for Kristine, it qualifies for this week's "No Designer Paper" challenge at La-La Land Crafts Blog and it is also a second card for my upcoming "Birthdays in La-La Land" card class at Cranberry Hill Mercantile in Sunnyvale, CA.

All I Want For Christmas Is...

La-La Land Crafts is sponsoring this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #15! One lucky winner will receive both of these stamps from our Christmas Collection, Angel Lala and Christmas Dress Rosie!!



Randi Barrett is hosting this week's challenge. Randi chose these scriptures for the inspiration:

Matthew 2:11 "After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh."

Matthew 7:7-11: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in Heaven give what is good to those who ask it."

Randi's challenge is to make a card, layout or other paper craft project that has a GIFT featured in it. Be sure to visit Stampin' Sisters in Christ Blog and enter the challenge there!

And here is my card for the challenge.. I used one of the stamps that are being offered as a prize, Christmas Dress Rosie :-) .



Rosie was colored with Copic Markers, cut out and popped up for dimension. BoBunny Designer Paper. The frame, the Christmas Tree with the presents and the sentiment are all the part of the designer paper. I LOVE it!!! Mark Richards Crystal Stickers. Ribbon with the button and the twine in the right corner. That's it!! Quick, easy and ADORABLE :-) !!

This card also qualifies for Anything Christmas challenge at Charizma Cards.

Hugs!!
