Introducing Sweetheart Marci ...

Isn't she sweet?  I couldn't resist another La-La Land stamp when I won a voucher to spend at Simon Says Stamp in a recent challenge - my only problem was choosing which one to buy!  This one is called 'Sweetheart Marci' and I've used her with my favourite colour combination - pink and brown.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and then added some glitter to the heard with a clear Spica Atyou pen - it doesn't show up in the photo but I promise it's there!  I also followed the sketch from the current challenge at Totally Gorjuss.

The pink spotty paper is from a pad that came with the latest issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft and I've layered it with some brown paper.  The button is from 'Georgina's Stitching and Buttons Set' from Little Claire and the Card Candi and sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Paper Pretties - 'favourite colour combo'

I Love Promarkers - 'for a little girl'

Saturday Challenge - 'anything goes'

Ooh La La Creations Challenge - 'make it girly'
Totally Gorjuss - 'sketch challenge'

Ice Skating Marci

I've had a lovely crafting day today - lots of new cards for Little Claire which I can't show anyone yet but also a few others including this one.  The stamp is called 'Ice Skating Marci' from La La Land Crafts and it's one that I bought with a voucher I won a little while back from a challenge blog.

She stamps out beautifully and is really easy to colour.  For my background I used some paper from Craft Creations and some silver paper and the little sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.

Some challenges for this card:

La La Land Customer Gallery - November

The Paper Shelter - 'Christmas Fun'

Charisma Cardz - 'cutesy'

Allsorts Challenge Blog - 'anything but square'

Birthday Marci

Here's a birthday card made with the 'Fancy Marci' stamp from La La Land Crafts.  I've used a base card from Craftwork Cards (decorated with punched dots) and paper from Kanban.  The plain and polka dot paper is on the same sheet so the colour matches perfectly.  To finish the card, I've added some white sheer ribbon and a sentiment circle from Craftwork Cards.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

La La Land Crafts Customer Gallery

Allsorts Challenge - 'free and easy'

Crafty Sentiment Designs - 'polka dot'

Fancy Marci Again

Here's another card made with the 'Fancy Marci' stamp from La La Land Crafts - she's been coloured with Promarkers and then layered on to pink and brown card.  The background paper is from Doodlebug and I've added another strip of brown card punched on each side with one of my Martha Stewart punches.  Down the middle of the punched strip, I've added some pink ribbon and pearls, put a pearl at each corner of the image and then added a ticket sentiment from Tim Holtz.  The base card is from Craftwork Cards.
