Happy Birthday 8th Birthday Paper Nest Dolls!

 Hi friends! There are some pretty exciting things happening for me and Toadally Love to Crafts. I am now the manager of the Paper Nest Dolls Stamp Company! I cannot tell you how excited I am about this. 

I have been designing for Christine for 5 years this year. We have become great friends during this time. I love the freedom she gives her designers. It makes designing cards so much easier when you are not limited. She is also very supportive and encouraging. 

 Yesterday we celebrated Paper Nest Dolls' 8th birthday with a live coloring on my Toadally Love to Craft Facebook page. We had so much fun! We played games, chatted, and colored Ellie with Candle.

Ellie comes in rubber and digi. I used the digital version printing Ellie at 3.65 inches tall.

If you are looking for some online fun, Paper Nest Dolls has a couple of virtual retreats coming up. On that is March 27th and 28th that is spring themed and another that is June 5th and 6th that is Disney themed. You can find more details for the March Spring Retreat HERE and the June Disney Retreat HERE. Both events will be SUPER FUN! 

I've got to run for now. If you have not already, please like and follow Toadally Love to Craft Facebook page, =) 

Have a craftastic week!

La-La Land Crafts Thank You

 Hello! It's already Friday again! The week just flew by. 

This week our theme at La-La Land Crafts is Thank You. There are so many directions you could go with this. I chose to make a thank you card for a doctor. We all know they have been working themselves to the bone during this pandemic. 

We cannot ignore the fact that Luka makes THE CUTEST doctor either. I love any and all things Luka, so I am a little biased. 

I have been looking at Luka's shoes and his slacks. His shoes are colored with C's and his slacks are colored with W's. The C's have what looks like a blue tone to me. I am really not liking that on his shoes. Hahaha! I should have stuck with the W's. They are my favorite.

La-La Land Crafts I Miss You

Hello friends! Happy Friday! This week at La-La Land Crafts we are making I miss you projects.  

I rummaged through my stamps looking for the perfect one. This little guy from the Soy Happy For You Clear Stamp Set stood out to me. 

I just love these hampsters! I'm not a fan of sushi, however. I cannot stand the stuff! I know, I know...I am strange. 

It took me a while to figure out how I wanted the layout on this card. I like how it turned out though. Pretty simple.

La-La Land Crafts December 2020 Club Kit Inspiration

Hi everyone! We are 12 days into January. We are gaining more daylight every day here in Alaska. I am always so thankful for that! Before long, we will be having more daylight hours than dark hours. 

Today's I am coming to you with some La-La Land Crafts Club Kit inspiration. This is December 2020's Kit, but the January 2021 Club Kit will be released in just 3 short days!!! 

For the December tutorial that I did for Club, I made a little box. It was the perfect size for the business cards that I bought my daughter for Christmas. I had intended to use Marci on the box, but she was much too big. The adorable kitten was just the perfect size. 

If you are a Club Kit member, don't forget to look at the tutorials that the design team has done for you. There are some really great projects! 

If you are not a Club Kit member, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??! I mean look at everything that comes with it!

La-La Land Crafts Love You Card

 Happy Friday!! I am so happy to be able to excape reality for a little time in my safe place...my craft room. The things going on in our country are unsettling. I won't get into that though.

Let's talk about LOVE!! Our first assignment as a La-La Land Crafts Design Team is to create a Hearts/Love themed card. Perfect since Valentine's Day is just around the corner. 

Now, I know that not all of us are a fan of Valentine's Day. However, I am sure you can think of someone in your life who needs a little extra love. A kind word or just a card to say, I am thinking of you. Do that with hearts!! 

It took me FOREVER to figure out what papers to use for this image. I had some sort of idea of the layout and that I wanted black to be my layering color. Then I remembered the NEW Home for Christmas Paper Pack. I love the Wood papers!! The light grey wood paper worked perfectly for what I had in mind. 

I was feeling quite lazy when I was making this card. It was late and I just really didn't want to do it. I had debated cutting the hearts and words out of colored paper to make it easier on myself. In the end I decided I needed to color the die cuts. I am so glad I did. I love the depth that they have. I know that I wouldn't enjoy them as much if they were cut out of colored cardstock. 

Thanks so mjuch for stopping in to visit. If you want more LOVE card inspiration, hop on over to the La-La Land Crafts Blog to see what my teamies have made.

La-La Land Crafts Happy Birthday

 Happy New Year friends! I don't know about you, but I am super excited to see what 2021 brings. 

2020 wasn't a bad year for us Goodwin's. Actually, I found it to be a year of many blessings. I learned that I need to slow down a bit and start doing things that fill my cup. That way I can have the energy to do what I want/need to for others. I was able to spend more time with my family. My son, who was in a very bad relationship, moved back home. We homeschooled the two youngest. We took a vacation to Flordia. I taught at a craft retreat. I was able to spend time with a sweet friend before she passed away. The list goes on and on. 

I know this year has lots of blessings in store as well. The blessings are always there...sometimes we just have to look a little harder. 

For the first La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday of the year, our theme is Birthdays. Can we say SIMPLE!! Which is exactly what I needed. My mojo has been a little off. 

I used a couple cuties from the Pardon My Frenchie Clear Stamp Set. Don't they make the cutest pair?!! 

I used the Ice Cream Cone from the March 2020 Club Kit as a little birthday hat. The little cotton ball finished it off perfectly. 

You see the balloon die?! That will be coming out SOON!! So stay tuned!
