As some of you know, I've stepped down from several design teams in recent months (down to 3 from 8 teams this time last year!). This was mainly because I felt my style was becoming a bit stale and wanted to free up more time to explore my style more and also use other brands. Well I'm very excited to share today that my lovely blog mate Sandie invited me to do a guest designer spot for La-La Land Crafts for the next two months. I've never used this brand before and I must say that I've fallen in love with it!
Today is Inspiration Friday over at the La-La Land Crafts blog and this week's theme is Glitter Mania! So here is my very first make for them using the stylish Jesalyn and the gorgeous Berry Flourish die.
This stamp is so perfect for one of my city friends - so classy! And I love the Berry Flourish - so beautiful and I topped it off with some sweet paper flowers.
I don't normally use glitter much but there are lots on her jewellery, shoes and flowers. I also used some iridescent sequins to add to the shimmer.
I must say though that I felt under a bit of performance pressure creating my first card for them - this is a seriously talented team and their colouring skills are amazing! I know I'm going to learn a lot from this bunch of gals!
Okay, I'm off now but don't forget to check out the rest of the gorgeous DT inspiration over at the blog here while I decide who to give this beauty to!

Hello Mary,
A very eclectic card you have designed it well; your paper, elements as well as palette, it makes for a very pretty card, even though it has the drama of Black you have subjugated the effect by adding the sparkle and feminine Pink.
Already you are thinking differently.
Smiles:)
