La -La Land...

Is a place I often think I live, but there is also a new stamp company starting very soon and they have adopted that name. Cool idea methinks!

La-La Land Crafts looks like it's going to be a super fun new venture so do check them out - they are looking for DT members and they also have some fabulous blog candy on offer.

Ruby Tuesday...

Quite a few people have asked me about the stamp I used for the ATCs and the 'Floral Frenzy' card so I thought I would show the sheet of stamps that the flower came from. The sheet is by Elusive Images and as you can see it has more than one flower on and an assortment of leaves, swirls and a couple of stems.

The flower I used stamps beautifully - it has a lovely textured, dotted effect on the petals, which really makes it special. I haven't used any of the others yet, but I do think they would lend themselves to being decoupaged and even given the bling treatment.

On Graphicus this is what they say about the stamps...

"Design-A-Flower A4 sized themeplate

Following on from our very popular Big Flowers themeplate, Ruby Tuesday includes stalks and leaves (which can also double up as petals) to design your own flowers. They have gemstones and pearls in the decorations - they're a wonderful playground for all those flat backed gems."

Hope that helps anyone who may be watching out for this set or wondering where I got the flower from.

Holly Birthday Card...

Gosh my second post today!

I had to post this one - have you seen the amazing competion at Charmed Cards and Crafts? Oh wow, how much would I love to win that prize? Quite a lot actually! Okay, one heck of a lot!!

Well as they say in the lotto ad 'You have to be in it to win it' so here is my card. I've used one of Charmed Cards fantastic downloads. These Holly and Madison images are so cute and what I really like about them is that you get one set ready coloured for when you're feeling lazy and one set like as a digi stamp that you can colour yourself. Just great. This time I coloured the Holly image with Promarkers to match my spotty paper, which is from a DCWV stack.

Cross your fingers for me and why not enter yourselves (but don't win - lol) - you have until the 4th August.
