La-La Land Crafts New Release Day 1

Hello and welcome to a very exciting NEW RELEASE at La-La Land Crafts! Today debuts 7 (!!) new stamp sets! Over the next few days I will highlight each set. I've also got a video of today's products and projects for you on Youtube.

The first set I've used for a couple of designs is Things Are Looking Up. I think there are so many cute and funny things you could do with this set. My first project pairs Things are Looking Up with a new background set, Wood Planks.

I think the long necks are so hilarious!

The second project I'm sharing with Things Are Looking Up is this baby card - I think these quirky animals are perfect for children's designs. I also used a sentiment and gingham background from the new set Just For You, a personal favorite!

I made a sliding tag on the left side for the sentiment that closes.
