LaLa Land Stamps



Meet Marci from LaLa Land Stamps. She comes in the best poses and has a wonderful friend Luke. These are just the most darling stamps! This was one of the Make and Takes at their booth at CHA and I just love this girl. I had a lot of fun coloring this image with the Copics they had for this Make and Take. Large nice areas to color and the loveliest little mouth that is just precious too.

Go check out their website and blog to see all of their creative and gorgeous stamps! http://www.lalalandcrafts.com/

I know http://www.7kidscollegefund.com/ is carrying them.

More photos from CHA








Aren't these just stunning!! I don't think any photo can do these dresses justice but they are truly designer runway worthy!

These did incentivize me to take my LO's up a notch... we'll see what I can come up with.







Well, I'm a bit behind but I will try to put up some more photos from Los Angeles. LOTS and lots of walking but it's always fun. The big theme at a lot of booths were the phenomenal paper dresses and gorgeous flowers. The talent of some of these designers just amazes me.

There were gorgeous flowers from Prima coming out that will embellish just about anything and just adds that WOW factor!!

Winter CHA photos!





CHA has been a blast and there has been so much to see and take in. Lots and lots of beautiful new embellies and paperlines and ideas for amazing home decor using just your basic scrapppin' stuff! The ribbons were so elegant, fun, filmy and gorgeous! Lots of beautiful choices for all of your favorite LSS's and online shops. I of course, wanted them all! Viva Decor dazzled as always and the big news from ProvoCraft is the next generation Cricut Expression 2 (E2). It is more streamlined than the original E and with the larger, colored LED screen, it eliminates the need for a keypad and overlay! And it should be WiFi capable a couple of months after it's official release April 26th on HSN. That's right, WiFi... no more cords or dragging your E to your computer and vice versa. Perhaps even more exciting is the Cricut Chat Room online. It's a Gypsy, Design Studio and more rolled into one but even better! It's online so it's available anywhere anytime that you log on and the applications that you can do with it are amazing. Being able to type your titles, phrases, etc is such a simple thing but something many of us have been begging for. And welding... it's never been easier. There are tons of youtube videos showing it in action and I encourage you to check them out. I didn't film any since there seemed to be an overload of videos out there but they are all good. The absolute best part... it will be FREE OF CHARGE! Yes, FREE. And for me, mac compatible, finally!! You'll be able to save all of your projects on there, share them via email, view every image on every cart PC makes from every feature key all on your own computer or laptop screen. For those who purchase an E2, when that goes wireless, you'll be able to cut without any cables hooked up.

Mary at CARDZ TV http://cardztv.blogspot.com/ challenged everyone to make a LO or card with a cupcake on it. I made this card with the cup cake and horn blower from the Celebrations cartridge. Inked the edges and stickled some sprinkles on top, then had some scraps leftover and made a few more cards. ProvoCraft is saying goodbye to the Celebrations cart so thought I would use cuts from this one. It's an oldie but goodie.

Stampscrapart Tour in Mesquite

Hi everyone! I took Olivia to the stamping convention in Mesquite about an hour away. She LOVES doing the make and takes and on her own picked out her hat to wear along with her Aggie (Texas A&M) shirt with full bling and her little backpack full of snacks. Almost everyone had to stop and tell her how cute she was so along with the 10 projects she made, she was constantly beaming and almost floated to the car when it ended :o)

Lots and lots of super cute and fun stamps and techniques there. Finally saw the Heartfelt Creations stamps for the Spellbinders up close and the lady demoing them did a really great job. Ended up with 2 of them for my Blossom Nesties. (It was also O's favorite make and take).
Not too crowded on Sunday so O and I were able to enjoy and browse and shop.
