Farewell Kim

Hello! Kim here. Hope everyone is having a super sugary Friday and looking forward to the long weekend! Any plans? BBQ perhaps? :) My SIL is having a housewarming party so that's where I will be at. hehe

Today I have this cute Sugar n' Spice Marci card to share. I colored Marci with Copic and use this sweet cupcake paper from my Basic Grey nook and pantry paper pad. Perfect paper to go with Marci, don't you think? :) I used a couple of my handmade crochet flowers. I sure have been adding quite a lot of these flowers on my cards lately. LOL

Card Details:
STAMPS: LLLC, Sugar n' Spice Marci, Papetrey Ink;
PAPERS: Basic Grey Nook and Pantry;
EMBELLISHMENTS: pearl, crochet flowers;
TOOLS: corner punch, border punch, word window punch;
COPIC COLORS: E11, E21, E00, E000, R20, R85,R83, R81, E59, E57, E55, RV00, G94, G24, YG03, E47, E44, E42, o, C3,C1,N0

Raise your hand if you are wondering about the title of this post. LOL I actually feel kind of awkward to say farewell to myself. LOL I have been with LLLC since the beginning, almost two years now. It has been such a wonderful experience working along side some of the most talented crafters, playing with all the adorable LLLC images and to see these images come to life! Totally awesome!

Anyway, I've decided to pass on the torch to Irina's new talented team! You all have seen their work and boy weren't their work amazing?? They have A LOT more in store for you!

There are some nice changes coming up at LLLC and I think you all will LOVE it! So stay tuned!

Thank you for stopping by! Happy Friday, everyone!

Diamond Fold Card

Hello La La Fans! Is everyone ready for the weekend?? I sure am!

Today I (Kim) have this fun fold card to share! This is called a diamond fold card. It's pretty cool!

This card features Winter Marci. I colored her a long while back and finally got this chance to put her on a card. LOL

I used one of my handmade crocheted flowers. You can see more of my flowers HERE.



Well, that's all I have today. Perhaps you guys have some LLLC creations to share as well? If so, we would LOVE to see them!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Dress Up Marci

Hello! Kim here today to share a little inspiration.

I used this little darling Dress Up Marci on my card. This is my second time using paint on my card and I must say, I am liking it a lot!

I don't know about you but I have enough papers to last me TEN years! Yup, I have a lot of papers and I keep getting more! Yeah, crazy! It's an addiction! Raise your hand if you are like me! LOL

Anyway, I used this forgotten Brenda Walton Scrap Pad To Go papers on my card. Sketch is by Mojo Monday.

Don't forget, we would love to see your Marci/Luka creations! All you have to do is link your creation to our CUSTOMER GALLERY.

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Have a fantastic Friday!

Luka With Truck

TGIF! Yay!

Today I (Kim) want to share this card featuring Luka With Truck. Isn't he cute? I swear, my son looks like Luka! Then again, Luka looks like everyone's little boy, nephew, grandson....

I used Basic Grey papers on this card, from the Wander pad. Luka was colored with Copic a couple of months ago. I love it when I have some colored images ready to use! hehe The only problem is, it does take me a while to find the perfect papers to go with it.

Do you have a LLLC creation to share? Don't forget to add it to our Customer Gallery!

That's all I have for now. Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!

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!

So Lady Like!

Hello!

It has been a while since I inked up this adorable Fancy Dress Marci. I haven't played with my Hampton Artsy Edges stamps as well and I thought they would be perfect for Marci! Like it? I simply stamped it on the edges and voila! In case you are wondering about the corners, I used a ticket punch for them.

I do hope everyone have a fun Easter weekend! Thanks a bunch for stopping by today!

Let's Pretend!

Hello! Kim here today.

Have I ever mentioned how much Marci looks like my daughter? You probably hear this from a lot of people...not necessary just my daughter but perhaps your daughter, your granddaughter, your niece.... Marci just has that cute look that looks like every girl out there! For real! She is that adorable!

Today I used Dress Up Marci. Seriously, how cute is she?? My daughter is at the wanna-be-grown-up age now (at least I think she is). Yup, she gets a hold of my high heels and starts modeling around the house! Can you imagine me chasing her around the house trying to get her to take it off? LOL



I colored Marci with Copics. I added pearlized top coat smooch on Marci's pearl necklace.

Well, that's all I have for now. Thank you so much for spending some of your crafty time with me! Have a great one, everyone!

Sentiment is by Lily of the Valley.

Dreaming of Summer Days

Hello! It's Kim here today sharing this fun card featuring Capri Marci. She is available in rubber at our online store! I have only have one stack of October Afternoon papers and I always seem to forget to use it! LOL Oh and I totally forgot what line is this? LOL Sentiment is by Lilly of the Valley.

 

Since I had some scraps after making the above card, I used it and altered these binding clips. These are the extra large clips. I LOVE to altered these clips! They are great to have when you need a handmade gift! They are super quick and easy to make too!

Well, that's all I have for now. I do hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Just Sitting Here

Hello there!

I have been sick so I haven't been crafting. Actually, I haven't been to my desk since early this week. Yeah, pretty unusual for me. I have been fighting this cold/flu for like almost a month already! I sort of got rid of it, then it came back...got rid of it and yes, it came back again a third time this last weekend! I tell you, there is some weird virus going on out there! Take care, everyone!

I am so glad I have some cards I haven't shared previously! LOL This is one of them. I used Darling Marci on this card. She is available at our online store HERE.

You all know it, Marci and Luka are super popular. If they haven't made their ways to your crafty place yet, please do invite them! You know where to find them - La-La Land!

Don't forget, if you have any creations using Marci or Luka, we want to see them! Add a link to our Customer Gallery and you could be a winner of a wonderful prize!

That's all I have today. Hope everyone have a great weekend!

Who Loves Sketches?

Hey there!

Today I (Kim) have something totally new to share! Well, it's still a card! LOL It's the image! Meet Jesalyn! She is one of the newest member of the La-La Land Crafts family! She was just released this week and is available in digi format. She is a part of the "Girlfriend Collection".

I was browsing online and came across this awesome sketch and I just knew that I have to use it for this pretty girl! I have so much fun putting this card together...for real!



I do hope you guys have a fabulous Friday and are looking forward to the weekend! I know I am! Have a great one, everyone!

Is it Valentine's Day Already??

LOL

Kim here. I made this card last month but totally forgot to share! It's pocket card. I used Sweetheart Marci here. I used the digi version of Sweetheart Marci here but she is also available in rubber now!



I must say I am loving these pocket cards! I think they are super cool! They are so fun to make too! Will you be seeing more of these? Probably! LOL

That's all I have for today! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Make A Wish

Hellllllooooooooooooo!

Today I have this Magician Luka card to share! Isn't Luka just the cutest? He is so perfect for a little boy's card. As a matter of fact, he is perfect for all sorts of creations!

Believe it or not, this is actually a K&Company baby boy patterned paper. Bet ya can't tell? LOL


Well, as you can see on this card, I am so not good at coloring curly hair. I need some serious practice. Anyone got some tips for me? LOL

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy looking at my little creation! Have a fabulous Friday, everyone! As always, if you have any La La Land Crafts creations to share, don't forget to link them to our Customer Gallery!

UR2 Sweet

Hey there!

Kim here today. I guess by now you guys know that Friday is my day to post at La La Land Crafts. LOL Today I have this lovely Sweetheart Marci card to share! Sweetheart Marci is currently available as a digi so if you would like to play with her, you can grab her HERE.

I colored Marci with Copic. Sorry since I made this card a while back, I don't remember what colors I used already. Papers are by Basic Gret, Bittersweet collection. I love this collection! It's not only great for Valentine's Day it is also great for any occasion! Love it!

That's all I have for you guys today.

Have a great one everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Dreaming of Sunshine and Smiles

That's what I am dreaming of today! It has been gloomy all week here in LA. Well, not too bad. We did get some sun here and there.

I just LOVE Capri Marci! She looks so casual here, so carefree and isn't she just the cutest??

Capri Marci is one of the nine digis from CHA 2011. For digi lovers, grab her now because she will only be available as a digi for a limited time. For rubber lovers, no worries! She is in the midst of turning rubber. LOL Stay tuned!

Have a fantastic Friday, everyone!

Doctor Marci is in the House!

yup, she is and isn't she just the cutest little doctor?? She is one of the seven new digis at La La Land Crafts and you can order them HERE!

Okay, pop quiz! LOL What do you see on my cards over and over lately? RIBBON'S! Recently I bought over 30 rolls of ribbons and I have been using them on almost all of my cards! LOL I went a little crazy when I saw them on sale. LOL

I wanted to used this pretty lavender cardstock but didn't have the patterned papers to go with it. I decided to colored Marci with black and white and not use any patterned papers at all. Pretty cool color combo, huh?


I should probably invest in some lavender patterned papers since this is my fave color. This is such a romantic color!

Well, that's all I have to share today. Have a great weekend, everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Be My Valentine

I always have a hard time making masculine cards. They always seem to come out so girly. LOL

This is a simple card but I did have to put my thinking cap on. hehe

I used Amour Luka on this card. He is one of the newest images in La La Land, our latest Valentine's collection. Isn't he darling?? I colored him with Copic. Papers are by Stampin' Up.

I rarely finish the inside of my cards but I did on this one. :) Sentiment is by Hero Arts.

Well, tomorrow I will be at CHA. If you are going to be there as well, please be sure to stop by our booth and say hi! We are going to be at the New Exhibitor Section, Booth #4607. See you all then! Have a wonderful Friday, everyone!

Today is a very special day to me, it's not only my day to post (hehe), it also my son's birthday! My little guy is turning three today! Time certainly flies! I remembered he was just a tiny baby!

I kept today's card pretty simple. Seriously, I haven't been crafting in a few days and my mojo is slowly slipping away! Even as simple as this one, it took a two days to finish and my image was colored weeks ago already! LOL

For this card, I used Sweet Dreams Marci. I used this leftover pretty paper from earlier this year. I think it's a Valentine's Day paper. LOL One of my New Year resolution is to TRY to use most of my scraps.

 

Well, that's all I have today! I do hope everyone have a Happy, Healthy New Year!
