Woo Hoo! I'm guesting at La La Lands!!

Hi Everyone!
I've been holding in a secret for a while now and now I can let out the news!
For the months of November and December I'll be joining the Design Team as a guest over at La La Lands!
I've been playing with their challenges for a while now and even been winning a few and now I can play along with the team and have my projects up for you all to see!
There are 3 other wonderful ladies joining the team for the same term as me and you can see their work at the links below.
Elena Joldersman The Red Headed Girl
Kristine Breach Ink Something
Moon Hulsman Scrapjes Van Moon

To showcase my new appointment I thought I'd make a new project with the super cute Sitting Lalaand I hope you'll like her!

Of course there are a few challenges that I used to help me with this.

Mojo Monday gave me the sketch
Corrosive Challenges wanted "Anything But A Card"
Creative Inspirations wanted a decorated bag
Double Dutch wanted a decorated purse
The Crafty Pad had a color combo of Green, Red and Gold
Opus Gluei had an "Apple Of My Eye" theme
Die Cut Dreams had a Food/Drink theme
My Creative Clutter wanted you to base your color scheme on your Favorite Candy Wrapper and I chose Starburst candies.


Although I used a card sketch I decided to use it on a gift bag.
The dp is from the Summer Song stack by My Minds Eye that I got at Hobby Lobby.
Lala is colored with Copic's and she's sitting on a hand cut apple.
I used the wonderful Eyelet Lace "Around the Edge" punch set as a background to the dp.
I replaced the raffia handles on the gift bag with ribbon and added a "silk" rose to the top.


Here's a close up of cute Lala!
Be sure to check back tomorrow when I'll have my 1st card for the La La Landschallenge!

A Sneak Peek at a brand new Pixie Cottage stamp!

Happy Saturday everyone!
One of the best things about being on a Design Team is that you get to see and work with the new stamps before they go on general release! It's a little like knowing what someone is getting as a gift and getting to play with it before they do! LOL
So over at Michelle's Scrapbooking and More they have brand new Pixie Cottage stamps and this one I got to play with is so cute! It's designed by Alisa Ramirez and is called What A Doll!
Be sure to go to the Pixie Cottage blog as well to see other new cards from the Design Team using these fabulous new stamps!

I've used a few challenges to help me along my way!
Whimsy Stamps wanted Sugar and Spice or Snips and Snails
PaperTake Weekly gave me the sketch
Tuesday Taggers had the theme of "Shades of Autumn"
Crafty Calendar also had Autumn as their theme and so did Secret Crafter
Trimmies Craft Challenge had a photo inspiration that really worked for this card.
Treehouse Stamps wanted a "Just Because" card
Gingersnaps had challenge GC25 which was Harvest and I think the Autumn colors of this card count there :)
And finally Stamp Something wanted to see Brown as the predominent color and Stampin For The Weekend wanted Orange, Brown and Leafy Green and My Creative Clutter wanted Red, Orange and Brown so it fits there too!




The dp are from K&Co and although they are not themed as Autumn the soft warm tones made me think of Fall.
The image is colored with Copic's and Promarkers.
The flowers are Prima and the brads are The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.
The bows and the lace are both Offray.
The sentiment is a Studio G from the $1 spot at Michaels.




The inside is more dp and a message mat cut from a new Labels Nestie.



You must agree she certainly is a doll!
Take a look at these great stamps over at Michelle's Scrapbooking and More and all the examples are at The Pixie Cottage
Hope to see you over there!
