And what an exciting line up the design team has today! If you haven't already been to the LLLC blog, I'll direct you that way in a short bit... first let me show you what I created!
This super sweet birthday card was created using Heart Balloon Marci, the perfect stamp for a birthday girl card. Sweet and girlie to the core! hehe! I used Prima's Almanac papers...
The Filagree Corner die is the perfect touch to any project... I added it to the corner of the card's top layer and accented it with a pearl....
I always finish the insides of my cards... this one was no exception. I just adore the Butterflies Set 1 die... I added one of the butterflies from the die set here... the sentiment is from an old Stampin' Up set...

Today I'd like to share a fun 8x8 scrapbook layout I created of my son Logan and his all-time favorite preschool teacher, Ms. Janice. This pic was taken at pre-school graduation and as you can see from the picture... they just adore each other! I had to 'scrap' this photo for Logan's memory album. ❤
I used a variety of I Am Roses products on this layout (product links included at the bottom of this post.) Here are some photos of this fun layout...
Check out my video tutorial for this layout...

Welcome to another Inspiration Friday with the La La Land Crafts design team! We hope you play along with us this week -- the theme is "Fun in the Sun!" And the new dies & Hawaiian stamps from La La Land Crafts perfectly compliment this theme! :-)
I used Hula Marciand some of the new LLLC dies on my project today... isn't Hula Marci just adorable?! ❤
I attached the sun from the Cloud, Sun & Island die set at the center and pulled on it lightly to make it "pop" from the card... an easy way to create dimension! ❤
The little turtle comes with the Hula Marci stamp set... he is floating around the ocean with his little fish friends that I fussy cut from the Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue papers. The "ocean" was created using La La Land Crafts Wave Border dieand some of the Tropical Travelogue paper. Super fun! ❤
I die cut the Palm Tree with my Vagaboond using kraft cardstock, then used my Ranger Distress Inks to color it up... I added brown Recollections pearl bling as the coconuts...
I always finish up the inside of my cards by bringing in some of the design paper and elements to tie everything together...❤
I hope you enjoyed my project today! Be sure to head over to the La La Land Crafts blog for more inspiring projects from the design team!
