Hello to Everybody! Thank you so much for playing in my Recycle It challenge last week! I was simply amazed by all the creative entries and varieties of recycled finds on your projects! It was such a pleasure visiting your blogs!Unfortunately some entries were not eligible to win the $10 credit to the online store or to be picked as Top Three because they did not follow the new requirement that all entries use at least one La-La Land Crafts stamp. So if you don't have any yet, why not hop over to the online store and treat yourself to a stamp or even more? And don’t forget about our latest release was all digital stamps so you can get some images right away to play in our next challenge!

A Rose For You

Hello everyone! Lisa Hjulberg here. I'm a bit late in posting my challenge card, but here she is... Lala With Rose, reminding us to respect Mother Earth! I just love this sweet image from the Easter Release. Actually, I love all the images! Did you know you can buy the bundle of SIX for just $20? Woot woot!!! What are you waiting for? And then jump on in and join this week's challenge for a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate to spend on rubber stamps in the La-La Land Crafts store.

The name of the game is "Go Green" as in Recycle! The recycled element of my card is the crinkled up background paper which was packaging material in a recent shipment of craft goodies. The polka dot paper and ribbon were also "cast-offs" on my craft table, rescued from what would have eventually been a trip to the rubbish bin.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for this fun challenge! Enjoy!

LLWWC#30 - Recycle It


Hello and welcome to another La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge!

It's Elena and I am your hostess for this week's challenge! Before I get to the challenge, I would like to thank everyone who participated in last week's LLWWC#29 - Pastel Colors Challenge. We were so happy to see your cards with LLLC stamps!

Now onto La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge #30! Since March 17th is St.Patrick's Day, let's do a GO GREEN – RECYCLE IT Challenge. Let's save the world and do a recycle kind of a challenge. Here are some ideas:

- use a cereal box as a chipboard to create your own embellishment;
- use a lace or ribbon (or even buttons) from the old clothes that you don't wear;
- old newspaper or book page to make a paper flower (pretty popular in these days);
- instead of DP try wrapping paper or even wall papers;
- use a bubble wrapping paper as a "stamp" to create your own background paper:
- create a 3-D project by using an acetate package;
- use raffia;
- use an old non-expensive earring as a charm;

Here's what you need to do to participate:
IMPORTANT!! We have made a few changes!

1) Create a NEW card for the challenge. You are more than welcome to combine challenges!

2) Your project must have one of La-La Land Crafts stamps on it!! You are welcome to use any other stamps along with LLLC images, such as sentiments, background, etc.

If you do not have any of our stamps yet, you can start your collection by purchasing one or more of our new DIGI stamps! DIGI stamps are now available in our
online store.

3) Link your project to Mr. Linky below by Monday, March 22nd, 2010 at 11:59pm PST (GMT-8). Be sure to link directly to the blog or gallery post featuring your entry!
If you post your card on Splitcoaststampers, please use BOTH keywords LLLC and LLWWC30.

4) Create the link to this challenge (link back to us) in your blog or gallery post.

As always, the Top 3 will get to put this adorable button on their blog:


The winner of the challenge will receive a $10 CREDIT to spend in our online store!!!

The stamp that I am using on my card today, PIRATE LALA, is on SPECIAL this week for $9.60 that is a savings of 20%!!

Hi everybody! Thank you so much for playing in my Pastel Colors challenge last week! Once again I was amazed by all the fantastic entries and had a really hard time choosing the winners. Unfortunately some entries were not eligible to win the $10 credit to the online store or to be picked as Top Three because they did not follow the new requirement that all entries use La-La Land Crafts stamps. If you don't have any yet, why not hop over to the online store and treat yourself to a stamp or two or more? Also, our latest release was all digi so you can get some images right away to play in our next challenge!

Well, enough talk! I know you're here to see who the winners are, so let's get to it!
