LLWWC#49 - Shake It!

Hey everyone! It's Maureen here and I get the pleasure of hosting this week's challenge! First of all, I want to thank everyone who played along with our "Upcycling" challenge last week - all the entries were fabulous!

This week I am challenging you all to make a shaker card! In case you've never made one before, here's a fabulous tutorial on how to make one. You can add a shaker to your card, or even make your whole card the shaker! And you can get really creative with what you put inside the shaker to make it rattle!

Since I used Princess Lala on my card, she will be on sale for 20% off through next Tuesday!


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. 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, August 2, 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 LLWWC49.

LLWWC#48 - Upcycle It!

Hello, everyone! Cheryl here bringing you the latest and greatest challenge from La-La Land Crafts. First of all, a big "thank you" to everyone who played along last week. The entries were spectacular! This is my first time as the challenge hostess, so I racked my brain to think of something fun for a challenge this week. My DT compadres are awesome hostesses and always come up with super challenges, so the pressure was on ;D With that in mind (drumroll, please), I challenge you to "Upcycle It" this week! Take an ordinary object that would normally end up in the trash and turn it into something wonderful to use on your card creation. It might be a bottle cap, or a piece of colorful wrapping paper, or even an oddball earring without a mate. The possibilities are endless. Wait until you see what the Design Team has cooked up for inspiration!

I used Fairy Lala on my card and that means that she will be on sale for 20% off through next Tuesday. That's a sweet deal, so be sure to stop by the shop and pick her up.

This week, I'd like everyone to try a STAIR STEP card, a SIDE STEP card, or if you're feeling brave, a DOUBLE SIDE STEP card!!

I've linked you to some easy tutorials to help you out! Just remember please to use a stamp or digi from LaLa Land Crafts on your cards!!

Since I used LaLa on a Swing on on my card, she will be on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday! I am loving all the new summer stamps and hope you'll love them too and that they'll soon be in your collection as well!

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

More of Something NEW

I would like to show you two more cards for this week's TRY SOMETHING NEW CHALLENGE. For the details of this challenge, please scroll down to the post below or click HERE.

First card was made by Pam Sparks. For "something new" Pam used the McGill Sunflower punch that she's had for several years and never used. Oh WOW, this punch just meant to be used with Sunflower Rosie!! Just PERFECT!!


And here is my card :-) For my "something new" I made a paper spring to mount Snorkel Sherman onto my card. This card was also made for a very special girl named Bella, please visit my blog for more information.



Remember, you have till Monday midnight to participate in our Challenge!! There is still time!!

Hugs!!
