This weeks project in La La Land is something altered, and after scratching my head for a week i decided to alter a frame. I used  Christmas Lantern Marci   and paper pieced her with graphic 45 papers. I also used the candle out of the  Bookstack Set Rubber stamp  and coloured it with copics. I used texture paste on the   Ornate Snowflake Die   and Pretty Poinsettia Die   for a snowy effect and added pearls. I cut a Christmas sentiment with the Folding Banners DIe  and added that to some christmas cut- outs. Texture paste, pearls and glitter was added to the Christmas tree to decorate it.  I coloured Marci and the candle with copics.

Kimono Marci with Fan Hi Im sharing my first card for La La Land Crafts as a Guest Designer. The DT theme this week was "more then one fold", so  I  created a 3 layered card using Kimono Marci and  coloured her with copics.

My Steampunk Gift Bag started with a roll of tape, black cardstock, copics, embossing folders and chipboard .  After giving my bigshot a work out i had enough chipboard bits and pieces to add to the bag.....cogs and flourishes were glued under the tape and then i used a stylus to shape the tape around the chipboard pieces. I then coloured the bag using copics C1, C3, C5, C7. C9, C10 BV02 BV04, BV08 and then sanded the raised areas. I added chains and charms to the side as well as some brads and staples . Eyelets, ribbons and a bow with a black rose completed the finished look.  View of the back which has been embossed with several different embossing folders .
