Laughing Lola Scrapbook Layouts!

"Laughing Lola" from Close To My Heart was such a fun Workshop On The Go kit to create with! I taught a class in August with it and wanted to share my designs on my blog so that they can be found by those who are browsing for ideas.

It contains images and sentiments that cover a wide range of card and scrapbook needs. Plus, it is SO cute!

I created this Birthday card for a crafty friend of mine, whom I knew had a love for owls. The timing of the occasion worked out perfectly for me to also be able to submit the card as an entry for Diana's Color Dare. This weeks' dare was to make something with the colors Cocoa, Smoothie, Black, and Vanilla Cream.

August Stamp of the Month "Wicked"

August is nearing, and so is the NEW stamp of the month! AND the NEW stamp of the month earning structure! As a Consultant I was able to recieve the stamp set early so that I could use it to create examples for you. So when I saw this weeks Color Dare was colors that also work with the stamp set I got inspired! Look at what I created!



How to create this witchy-hat! I stamped the hat with the swirls stamp first on white cardstock in the smokey plum ink. I then cleaned it and let it dry. Then I stamped it on another seperate piece of white cardstock in Black Archival Ink. After it dried I cut out just the black hat shape. Then I glued it on top of the hat on the purple version I had stamped. (I used my snail adhesive). To make the black hat glossy and shiny I then applied my "Liquid Glass" (clear acrylic). I used the tip to push around the liquid and cover the entire hat with a thin coat. I left it out in a safe spot overnight to dry. In the morning it was nice and shiny!

This stamp set can be yours during the month of August for only $5 if you place a $50 order! Retail value is $17.95.
