La La Lands Beach Bash Blog Hop!

As you may remember I was a guest for a couple of months at La La Lands Crafts and I was super excited when they asked me to join in their Anniversary blog hop!
It is a week long event and the theme of today's game is "What Toys Did LaLa take to the Beach?"
You need to follow through the hop until you find LaLa at the beach and then follow the instructions on that blog to submit your answer!
We have lots of fun cards for you to see along the way so be sure to check out all the fabulous creations.

If you came to me from Paul Ford's blog then you are on the right track, if not then hop back to La La Lands blog to start at the beginning.
Be sure to hop to ALL the blogs taking part and leave a little love as there will be a special prize drawing at the end of the week from the comments left. So the more blogs you visit and comment on the better your chance of winning!

Now on to the card, it has a few challenges added to it as usual:

Something else that is super exciting is a brand new member of the LaLa Lands family! Irina has put up a new digi image for release and it's very special as it's her very own image. She'll only be available as a digi during the bash so go get your hands on her and be sure to keep on the lookout for new stamps featuring the super sweet Marci!



Now you've seen my card and had a little it's time to head on over to Kim's blog and keep on the lookout for LaLa at the beach with her toys!
Have fun and good luck with the drawing.
