Happy Birthday - Inspiration Monday La-La Land Crafts

Hello and another happy Monday to all!

Birthdays is our current inspirational theme at the La-La Land Crafts. For my card I used a rabbit from  the Curiouser and Curiouser Clear Stamp Set, along with some dies and paper from the Wonderland Paper Pack.


Here are the links to the LLLC products that helped me to put this card together:

Once colored, this bunny look so different from what he was before! I added more details to the eyes and also drew the eyebrows for him.


I attached a string to the pocket watch, to make it look more interesting:


I also really like the flower pot centers as decorative additions to any card, they don't tie you down to a certain theme and that's what makes them so great!

The rabbit was colored with Copics:
Rabbit's Body: C7, C5, C3, C1
Nose: C3, R43, R20
Eyes: B16
Hearts: E09, E07, R24
Yellow: E37, Y387, Y18
White: B41, W0



Thanks for stopping by and have a successful week! Take care.

Junk Journaling Station - Butterfly Beauty

Hello!

I am beyond excited today, to finally let you know about the launch of a very cool project that I have been working on for Vectoria Designs.

There are so many crafters who like nature and create nature themed journals or ephemera! Vectoria Design has numerous nature/botanical themed paper collection already, but what is special about the project that we are going to start working on today, is that it will unite 4 themes in it, once complete.

The first theme is 𐀔 Butterflies 𐀔.

The digital papers (they are SO beautiful, aren't they!?), are available for purchase below :

Temporary offer with DELUXE kits at a discount/launch price (valid until Mar 17, 2023) is HERE.  

Here is the so called "journaling station" and we are going to put all 4 future journals in it.


The "station" will have 2 drawers that you can fill with smaller things/ephemera/stationery:




A journal number 1 is ready and on its place inside the station's compartment:



There is an astonishing amount of butterflies on the journal's pages and all of them are beautiful! Hence the name of the collection - Butterfly Beauty :)








Here are some more details of the cover:



And the spine:


Next, come numerous photos of the inside pages, as well as flaps and pockets on the inside of the front and back covers of the journal (click each picture to enlarge):
