Here Comes Trouble!

Happy Saturday La-La peeps! 1LuvnMama here to stir up some trouble . . . well, not me, it's Fireman Luka!

This is my second card using Fireman Luka. I just adore him because my hubby is a firefighter. Once again, I had to color him in the proper outfit my hubby would be wearing on the job. Wanna know where the inspiration came from?

This week, my son had a Water Play Day at school. The firefighters brought the yellow firetruck to the school yard and set up the hoses. You could probably guess what took place next . . . the kids got sprayed and had a blast!!! My son was right up front, trying to get the firefighters to spray him . . . he SUCCEEDED with every attempt! He is my little trouble maker, but it was nice to see him have so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by today. We have lots to share with ya come next week! :) Have a great weekend!

Thank Goodness for Fireman Luka!

Okay, so there IS a reason why Luka's outfit is not clean. LOL You see, he has been working super hard putting out fires. :)

Okay seriously, I totally didn't realize I colored black first instead of yellow. I used colored pencil by the way. Since I didn't want to waste the image, I just put on a dirty outfit for Luka. hehe

I guess I need LOTS of more practice using Prisma colored pencils. LOL



Anyway, have a fabulous Friday, everyone!

Luka is hot, hot, HOT!!!

Hi everyone, Jana here! Don't you just love little Luka?? and as a fireman? ADORABLE!!! And you can have him for his very own in digital format - just head over to the La-La Land crafts digi store!

He works so well with this fabulous Basic Grey paper...and the mojo183 sketch. I had blast coloring him, although I see on this up close photo that I didn't get everything blended perfectly.

I think I'll have to send this to a friend of mine who's dh is a firefighter...she can give it to him for a special occasion!

Hey HOT STUFF!

1LuvnMama is here with today's post. I hope you have a hanky in hand to wipe away your sweat . . . some HOT STUFF is coming your way! :) It's Fireman Luka, one of the 3 new images released this week! You can get him in digi form {HERE}. Don't worry, you will be able to get him in rubber real soon.

I jumped at the opportunity to create with this hunk because my hubby is a firefighter. If you're not familiar with the Honolulu Fire Department's firetrucks, you'll be surprised that our trucks are YELLOW, not red. As you can see, Fireman Luka is dressed just as a HFD firefighter would be dressed . . . blue shirt tucked inside his yellow turnouts. He wears black boots and a black helmet. Yes, the straps holding up his pants are red.

I thought I'd create a little scene for him. He's right on time to put that fire out!

Here's a close-up of Fireman Luka along with his trusted pal, Tuffy. Check out his pants . . . I sponged some Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress Ink to create the BLACK SOOT from firefighting. Too funny! :)

That's it for me! Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

three NEW Digi stamps for YOU!

We've been busy here in La-La Land Crafts!! Irina and Eric have created three fabulous new images for you to play with!! A new Marci and a new Luka to add to our Playtime Collection plus another Girlfriend - introducing Jesalyn! For now they are available in DIGI format only, but in a few short weeks they will be released in RUBBER!!

Our sweet little Marci is busy playing Dress-Up this time, with mommy's shoes, a fabulous hat, and even some wonderful pearls. Who can resist this little sweetheart Dress Up Marci??

Our amazing DT Coordinator Kristine created this fabulous card to show her off.

Luka is also playing dress up, and he's got the garden hose ready to put out some fires as Fireman Luka, with his trusty dog Tuffy at his side.

Here is Irina's card to showcase this new Luka stamp.

And Jesalyn looks like she's ready to hit the town and paint it red! She's got the killer shoes, gorgeous dress, and fabulous earrings.

Don't you just love how Karen colored her dress, and that paper is fabulous!

Well.. you might ask.. when and where can I get these new digis?

TODAY!! RIGHT HERE!! RIGHT NOW!!

Just click HERE to go shopping!!

And for those who love rubber, don't worry they're coming soon! Stay tuned :-)
