I always want to say,  “WOW,  It’s Wednesday again”!  It sure sneaks up on me fast! lol  I colored Princess Rosie for La-la Lands Weekly Wednesday challenge from Design Team member Lisa…no designer paper.  ok.  I can do that!   Rosie is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah classic crest supersmooth 80# card-stock and colored with copic sketch markers, (photo at the end of the post).

Here she is up close…a real Princess for sure! so sweet!

The inside…

Visit the La-la Land Weekly Wednesday Challenge blog to see what the other Design Team members created.  I sure had fun…I love to stamp and use stamps…I’ll post a list of what I used.

• Princess Rosie from La-la Land Crafts
• Dreams from Printworks, F2857 (I divided the stamp again,  used my stamp a ma jig, I can’t stamp without it!) Inked and stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink.
• Castle from Whipper Snapper, EY825
• Flourish border from Sandylion, KSTP15 Borders 2, clear stamp set. Inked and stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink.
• Magnolia grass and clouds background stamp, inked with distress inks, peeled paint and broken china.  I inked and stamped the grass first and then the clouds because I wanted more space between the earth and sky!  I filled in the grass with peeled paint and the ink blending tool.

So many fun challenge blogs out there!  I keep finding more,  so I’ll be linking this card to these challenges…

• Paper Jewels – cute and girly
• Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenge – Something for the kids

Thanks for stopping by….later this morning I’ll be posting for the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge blog…so…see ya real soon!  We’re doing Tri-shutter cards today….fun!

Welcome to La-La’s Weekly Wednesday Challenge. This week Design Team member Kim has challenged us to make a gift card holder. I’m also playing along with the Mojo Monday challenge blog to follow a sketch and make a round card.

Winter LaLa is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with copic markers.  The photo below shows the colors I used.

The scallop circles were cut on the Cricut with the mini monograms cartridge.  The size dial set at 5.5 inches.  The inner circle I cut out of October Afternoon pattern paper,  with the coluzzle circle cutting system. Bazzill card-stock and Emagination snowflake punches (probably available from the Punch Bunch now), layered up to give a chipboard effect. The sentiment on the front and inside is one stamp that I  split up to use separately. Using Versafine Onyx black ink and the stampamajig (my extra right hand) I was able to position them both exactly where I wanted them.  It’s a new stamp from Printworks E4004, Smile your heart out!   I love it! I don’t think it’s on their retail site yet so if you’re ordering just add this number to the comment box or call in your order. Link to the retail site is in my blog sidebar.

Next photo is the inside of the card.  I used the Tim Holtz tiny attacher to staple the half scallop circle to the back scallop circle.  The front scallop circle is attached at the top with Tombow mono Multi adhesive.  I scored the top of the back sc. circle at approximately a half inch and that allows you to open the card.

I used a Martha Stewart snowfall border punch and the aspen snowflake corner punch for the snowflakes you see here.  I know…the only gift card I could find to stick in here as an example was from Cabelas!!! lol  yep,  DH loves to fish!  I color in the boat! lol  I do…it makes me nervous though…sure would hate to see my copics go overboard! lol  Two kinds of stickles on the snowflakes…frosted lace and platinum.

Welcome to La-La Land Craft’s Weekly Wednesday challenge!  Design Team member,  Elena challenged us to use a Fancy Fold.  She gave us a list of ideas and this is what I chose…the Spring Card by Sandy Hulsart.  When you pull it out of the envelope it “springs” up!  Be sure to check the challenge blog to see what the other gals created…I can’t wait to see myself!  I love new ideas! Linking up to Saturday Spotlight challenge also…”get WILD with snowflakes”!  cool!  oh we are in a ice storm right now…oldest daughter just emailed (iPhone) and said their electricity was off..boohoo!  Snowflakes would be better than this ice for sure!

I stamped Down the slopes Rosie in Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored her with copic sketch markers.  I used Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses pattern papers.  Frosted Lace Stickles glitter glue on the snowflakes and around the sled. The let it snow charm is from my collection,  I think it was from Quest beads.  Martha Stewart snowflake punches…the large one is Himalayan and the medium is ??Alpine??  can’t remember for sure. I throw the packaging away on those! lol  oh and I used her snowfall around the page set also.  I linked to 7Kids so you can see what they have to order. I used a teeny Bazzill pink brad to attach the charm…be watching…7Kids is going to have them in stock soon!

Here’s a close up of the charm and cute Rosie…she reminds me of one of our granddaughters..lol always moving!  AND,  great news…the new release images are available and shipping!
