Hybrid Goodness

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Hi everyone!! It’s Samara and I’m here posting my VERY first La Blog entry!

As you know, I ADORE hybrid.  I was looking for a simple gift idea to post for you all.   I sure hope you enjoy!

The basic direction is to create a tube.  Squeeze and adhere one side of the tube, then squeen the opposite side and adhere with ribbon.

I made these for a friend that is getting married, she asked me to come up with some simple favors.  To secure the bottom edges, I used embroidery floss to stitch a blanket stitch and on the other, I used french knots.

Challenge Time!

Happy Monday everyone!  Jenn here with new bit of challenge fun, but first I want to congratulate Angel (ajf9597) on winning Annie’s fab white space challenge!!

What an adorable layout full of white space goodness! Please PM La for your prize :)

Now with NSD fast approaching (this coming weekend peeps!!)  There are going to be challenges galore in digi world, so I want to give you a little break.  So, here is an easy one - Post a link here to your favorite La goody (either one you have in your stash, or one you wish you had!) for a chance to win a little somethin’ from La.  It’s that easy :)

My favorite from kit from La right now is Turtle-Tastic, something about those springy shades puts a big goofy grin on my face!

Here is a layout I did with this super fun kit.

So, link me up with your fav and I will randomly generate a winner to be announced May 11th.

Have a great week everyone!!

CT Scraplift Wednesday!

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Hi everyone! I hope that you are having or had a wonderful Spring Break! Jamie here today, with a CT Scraplift challenge. I’ve chosen fellow La La Land member Annie to lift this week. Annie and I have known each other for ages, we used to make sig tags back in the day, so it’s nice now, to see her talent being used to make memories and pages for her family.
I chose to lift Girly Girl by Annie:

And here is my take on it, using La’s new, very springy kit, Sunday Best!

Here are some other layouts that Annie inspired, created by La’s CT:

Now, it’s your turn! To have a chance at some La goodness, you can have a go at Annie’s gallery HERE, come back and link us up with your lift before Midnight EST, Wednesday April 29. Feel free to spin it or leave it as is!

Happy Scrapping!

Jamie :)

You put the ‘      ’ in white space.
