LLWWC27 is a SKETCH!

I love sketch challenges! They force me to make a card that looks a little different than the same old thing! This is Whiskers Sleeping . I hope you'll go to the blog to see the sketch and play along!
Here's the link to Lala Land Crafts Blog. Our sketch was created by Kathy!
My card base is chocolate, then a layer of Yellow. The dps are from Basic Grey, Origins collection.
My copics marker colrs are Y21, Y24 and a little E08 for Whiskers.
The chick is Y21 and Y16
The pillow is YG01 and YG25 with E33 and E25, E29 for the chocolate stripes.
I think this little chick thinks Whiskers is its' mother!!
I used some primas and chocolate pearls for embellishments and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

This is my final post as a Guest Designer for Irina at Lala Land Crafts! I have really enjoyed my two months working with Irina and her great team! Thank you ALL so much!!

Please, if you have time, head over to the blog, grab the sketch and see what you can come up with then enter the link with Mr. Linky on the blog!! We'd love to have you use Lala Land Stamps, but it's not a requirement.

Before I go, I want to say that the CB folder on the bunny card below is called VICTORIA.
A Nasty Rag is one you use to put Copic blender solution on and dab onto a copic colored picture for fur or other texture. I used it on my last Copic Creation Challenge project-egg basket. Thanks for asking!
Have a great day!

LLWWC26 is all about RED!

Hi to all of you! Well, yesterday was a busy day, but aren't they all!? Todays Lala Challenge, in honor of Chinese New Year is to use RED as the predominant color on your card. No problem, right! This is Lotus and she definitely has an exotic look to her! I'm not very good with different skin tones, but she could be used for many different looks, IMO. I used Graphic 45 paper from my stash to go with her red outfit. I used R24, R46 and R59 to color her clothes and E42 for the neutral color. I used E33, E25, E59 and E49 for her hair.

So, we would love for you to participate this week. Please use any images you would like, but if you have Lala Land Craft images we would love to see those on you card. Details are on the Lala Land Craft Blog

You can also leave a comment on each of the posts below. The prize-a Mo's digital Pencil Image (Tuesday's post) and something from Magnolia (Monday's post).
thanks for checking out the Cottage today! Hope you're having a good week!

LLWWC25 is all about....

No DP! Lisa has given us (and YOU!) the challenge of making a card using no DP! You, know the "old fashioned" way!

Remember when we all used to stamp a background with a large stamp or repeated small ones? That's fun to do sometimes, but I opted for the Cuttlebug folder, Snowflakes. I certainly was not one of the first to have a CB. I kept reading about it and wondering what in the heck it was! Once I took the plunge I have never looked back! I still love it and it fits on the stand where I work. No Big Shot or Wizard for me, at least not YET!

Anyway, I used Winter Lala for my card and some of the great SU Bermuda Bay with Kraft and white card stock. Please check out the Lala Land Blog for the designers gorgeous projects! You can also find the details for how you can join in with us!

Have fun!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello and welcome to another Lala land Weekly Wednesday Challenge! This is # 24, hosted by the very talented Kristine. Our challenge is to use hearts of any kind on our card!


I just couldn't resist using Lala with Heart again! She is so fun to color and this time I made her a blue eyed blond. You can see the rest of the DT cards at the Lala Land Crafts blog.
We'd love for you to join us in the challenge this week! You don't have to use Lala stamps (but if you have them we'd love to see what your create!).
The colors of copics I used are as follows:
skin E000, E01, R20

Elizabeth Taylor Eyes for LLWWC23!

Hello to you! Well, the lavender eyes may be a bit much, but I couldn't resist since I had so much purple going on here! As some of us say often-this is so much better in person!Kim brought us our challenge this Wednesday which was to make a gift card holder. She must have been reading my mind because I had just bought this purse template after seeing it on SCS! Couldn't wait to try it and didn't have to! Thanks, Kim!
Here's the link to the La La Land Craft Blog for more details and a PRIZE

I've used Razzberry Fizz dp from SU on my white bag. I am having such a time printing on card stock with my printer! I CAN print on Neenah Classic Solar White though and that's what I did.

My close up of Lala and below is the inside. I love, love, love that included in the template is the pattern for this little pocket to hold your gift card! Then you could also add a couple of pieces of candy in the purse.

Thanks to Humma on SCS I found this site for the template, just in case you're interested too!

Guess I'll call it a night! Had book club last night so am SLEEPY!

thanks so very much for visiting!

See you tomorrow (yes, I DO have a card done!)
