Panda Express!

 

If you happen to be looking for a last minute gift that is quick and easy on the ol' wallet , this may be just what you are looking for! This adorable panda bear is now available as a digital stamp and is the perfect size for these glittered glass ornaments!

To create your own ornament simply print image onto acetate {available at your local office supply} and as soon as it prints sprinkle with embossing powder and emboss. Using a circle punch, or your cricut cut to fit your ornament { they are available in many sizes} Turn over and color with paint pen on back side of embossed image. If you color on front you run the risk of getting paint on your embossed and raised area.  Let dry completely! this is a very important step!!!!

Fill glass ball with glitter or "snow". Punch a small hole in top of your circle and tie a piece of string or twine that is thin enough to come out the top of ornament once the hook is put back on. roll acetate into a tube and insert into ornament and allow to open, replace hook topper and embellish as desired! the hardest part is waiting for it to dry!!!! Now that is Panda express *wink*  

We would love to see your Holiday and everyday creations in the customer gallery, its so exciting when you share with us!

Happy creating, and Merry Christmas!

Santa Baby

Hi and Happy Wednesday, I'm Shantaie with another Santa Marci project to share with you today. My house has always been sprinkled with pink and the laughter of girls, so naturally I envisioned Santa Marci in  pink velvet the moment I saw her! So I chose a couple of my favorite pink Holiday photos and some gorgeous and fun Echo park paper, don't you think Santa Marci is adorable in pink?

I paper pieced her bear and of course added a bit of glam by coating her trim with stickles! A sweet trio of bitty silver pearls on her holly leaves are all she needs to be a "girlie girl" for the Holidays! Have you added you creations to the customer gallery yet? Don't forget we will have a drawing at the end of the month, you could be the lucky winner!



A Little Pick Up

Could you use a little pick up? Then I suggest you spend some time coloring Luka with truck he is sure to lift your spirits! Then keep those wheels in motion ans send  your creation to someone and make their day!

My Luka was colored with prisma pencils and copics, he is  ready for fall all decked out in apple cider paper from Imaginisce. 

Why not go all the way and add your project to our customer gallery, we always love it when you share and it also counts as your entry for our monthly drawing!

If you still haven't taken the plunge and ordered your La-La Land stamps I promise you that you will be impressed with the quality of these rubber stamps, they are truly the best, deepest images I have ever seen! 

As always, Happy creating~ Shantaie

Super Cupcake Sweetie

                           

Hello Shantaie here with Super Cupcake Marci, she is pretty in pink, and even sweeter on this round treat container! She is all decked out in various shades of pink prisma pencils and a splash of glitter to top off her cupcake logo! I did a bit of recycling as the round candy container started life as a laughing cow cheese box, I can never bring myself to throw out those types of containers, they just are so useful in crafting! You can fill this little round with anything from a cupcake shaped gift card {Target},vanilla and strawberry flavored lip gloss or everyones favorite treat CANDY!!!

I found these super cute velvet brads by doodlebug, they are so soft and really cute! I will be ordering these in every color for sure! While I'm letting you in on my shopping trips, check out this fun paper ribbon I found at World Market in the gift wrap section, I'm smitten!!!

I read a quote today that I want to share with you:

"I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part" ~ Shirley MacLaine

 I plan to have the utmost fun being me, and how much more fun can you get than a hot pink Cupcake super hero? I mean really she is so SUPER cute! 

Thank you Irina and Eric for all the smiles you bring to the world everyday with the adorable La-La Land stamps!

My Costume Marci Layout

Halloween is one of the best times to preserve your memories of a fun night trick or treating, or just playing dress up!  Welcome back La La fans, I'm Shantaie Fowler one of the guest designers here. I'm having such a wonderful time working with Marci, Luka and friends!
Witch and Pumpkin Marci are the guests of honor in this not so spooky layout.

When creating a scrapbook, stamps are the perfect way to customize colors! When used as an embellishment they can take an ordinary project and make it extraordinary! What great news, for all of your beloved La La Land stamps!

I have colored Pumpkin Marci and Witch Marci with a combination of prisma pencils and copic markers to match the patterned papers.They were cut out and popped with foam tape for a little added dimension. Aren't they as cute as can be? I hope you will share your layouts using La La Land images in the customer gallery, I will be checking it out daily to see your fabulous work!

Thanks for visiting us today ~ Shantaie
