La La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday - Get Krafty!

Hello friends and welcome to another Inspiration Friday with the La La Land Crafts Design team! ♥

This week's theme is Get Krafty! Got some kraft paper? Well then get to it ladies! ♥

I created this holiday pocket card using the fabulous 12 Days of Christmas collection by Graphic 45. Do you spy the touches of kraft? ♥

I created the wreath using La La land Crafts dies: Open Leaf Flourish and Berry Flourish.

The holiday sentiments used on this pocket card are from the Snowflake Garland Marci with sentiments rubber stamp set.

The poinsettia was created using LLLC's Pretty Poinsettia die. I added several layers of the petals and used the handle of a paint brush to press the leaves from behind to give the flower some extra dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my project for this week!

Please join us over at the La La Land Crafts blog for more Krafty inspiration! ♥

Altered Shabby Chic Pumpkin and tutorial!

Hello my friends and happy Sunday! It's definitely a Sunday "Fun Day" for me today because I finally got some quiet time to myself in my craft room to complete some projects. ♥

For today's post, I want to share a Shabby Chic pumpkin that I altered with some gorgeous laces and embellishments from The Piece by Piece. I just love, love, love Beverly's laces. They are so intricate and beautiful. I used a few of them on this project. ♥

First let me share some photos. Then I hope you'll join me in my YouTube video for a beginning-to-end tutorial showing you how this altered pumpkin came together...

Here is the video tutorial showing you how I created this shabby chic pumpkin. ♥

I hope you give one of these a try, they are so fun to make!

Be sure to stop over at Bev's store, where she carries everything from lace to papers, and more! ♥

LLLC Inspiration Friday: Halloween or Fall!

Happy Friday my friends!

What a week it's been, but most exciting is the change of weather here in California which signals the welcoming of the Fall season! I love Fall with the cool crisp air and falling leaves.... it's SO beautiful outside! And... yes, we get to break out with our cute boots and scarves --- yay!!

This week's Inspiration Friday theme is Halloween or Fall. I created a card using the fabulously spooky Zombie Marci. As scary as she may seem, she is still the most adorable, right?!
