LLWWC #36 - Altered Embellishments

Welcome to La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge!

Hi everybody! Maureen here and I am your challenge hostess this week. First, thanks so much to everyone who played in last week's Shabby Chic Challenge!!! We LOVED seeing all of your creations using La-La Land Crafts stamps and digi images!

The theme I came up with for this week is ALTERED EMBELLISHMENTS. Take a store bought embellishment and change it in some way! For example, you can cut a petal off a flower to make a butterfly, sew a running stitch through some ribbon and gather to make a ruffle, take any embellishment and color it with paints/inks/markers, etc. Please include in your post what embellishment you altered and how you altered it. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Since I used Birthday Cake Maya on my card, she is on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday!!!


Also, one player will WIN a $10 Credit towards any rubber stamps of your choice in the La-La Land Crafts store!! And three of you will be awarded this TOP THREE award badge to proudly display on your blog!

Here's what you need to do to be eligible to win the PRIZE or Top Three badge:

1. Create a NEW card/project for the challenge using the sketch shown above. You are more than welcome to combine challenges!
2. Everyone is welcome to play, but to qualify for the Top Three badge and/or the prize your project MUST have a La-La Land Crafts stamp on it!! You are welcome to use any other stamps along with La-La Land Crafts images, such as sentiments, background, etc.
3. Link your project to Mr. Linky below by Monday, May 3, 2010 at 11:59pm PDT (GMT-8). Be sure to link directly to the blog or gallery post featuring your entry! If you post your card on Splitcoaststampers or any other online gallery, please use BOTH keywords LLLC and LLWWC36.
4. Create the link to this challenge (link back to us) in your blog or gallery post.

Happy Birthday Jana!

Hello and Happy Thursday! Did you enjoy our new release? New images are so much fun and we hope that you liked them as much as we did!

Looks like April is not only a month for the new release but it also brought to us another Birthday Girl. Today we are celebrating Jana’s birthday, our Guest Designer. We are very excited to have Jana in our team. When I first saw her beautiful cards that she made for the La-La Land Challenges as not being a part of the team yet, I was so thrilled to find that Irina invited her to join us. I think you will agree with me, just take a look at this:

Fancy Folds Challenge – sweet Winter Lala



Color (Red) Challenge – adorable Building Snowman Maya



Let’s get Punchy Challenge – cute Santa Lala



Aren’t they amazing! Her coloring, color sense, great layouts and embellishment choice, her creativity are truly an inspiration! And to all of this Jana has an incredible talent of writing. I enjoyed reading her rhymes on the day of sneak peeks. No surprise why she is a New Release Coordinator of the La-La Land!

But that is not all… Our Designers and Guest Designers also prepared a little surprise for our Birthday Girl. They created a special card just for her and wrote a post on their blogs:

Kim
Jane
Elena

Thank you Girls! I know that Jana will love it! I thought you may also would like to visit Jana's blog and leave her some birthday wishes. :)

So, Happy Birthday Jana! May this day always be a special one to remember.

Hugs,
Elena and La-La Land DT

Happy Wednesday! I'm Jane and I am your challenge hostess this week. First, a big THANK YOU to all you who played in last week's sketch challenge!!! We LOVE seeing your creations using La-La Land Crafts stamps and digi images!

We have a new challenge for you this week to go along with a NEW RELEASE! That's right, we have 7 new images for your wondering eyes to behold. Yesterday, you got a little peek (and hopefully played along with our fun game!) and now you get to see all these fun additions to La-La Land. First up, the winner of our $25 shopping spree in the La-La Land Crafts Boutique is Marilyn Scheller. Congratulations Marilyn!! We will email you the details on how to redeem your credit!

And now...here they are, our fabulous new stamps!

First up, introducing our first new digital character, Lucky!

And our sweet new little digi kitty, Sherman

Rosie is back in a new digi stamp sporting some adorable new wings, here is Fairy Rosie

Lala is back too, and she's taken up swimming with her lovely new tail, here is Mermaid Lala

And Princess Lala is ready to win the Prince (or realize she doesn't need one!)

And a sweet new Rosie is sitting Pretty.

These stamps are all available now in the La-La Land Crafts Boutique...so go check them out after you've looked over the wonderful challenge cards we have for you below!

This week, I want to see what you can make with the SCRAPS that you have lying around. If you are like me, you have folders and bins of scraps stored away just for the right card... or maybe you have some lying around on your craft table (like me). LOL! Scraps are everywhere in my craft room! So now is the time to get your collection out and put them to good use! Scraps of cardstock, designer paper, ribbons... whatever you have lying around.

You can see what our fabulous Design Team and Guest Designers came up with below using the images from the new release.

Since I used Lucky for my card, he is on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday!!!

Also, one player will WIN a $10 Credit towards any rubber stamps of your choice in the La-La Land Crafts store!! And three of you will be awarded this TOP THREE award badge to proudly display on your blog!
