July 29, 2010September 2, 2011 Pam Sparks25 Comments

Hard to believe it’s the end of July and time to think about education again! Christine has drawn Honey with her apple and the star bobbie pin in her hair! So CUTE! Teacher Honey will be available to purchase HERE on August 2nd, 10 p.m. EST. You can see more cute Teacher Honey DT creations on the All That Scraps blog post today HERE and leave your name for the drawing to win this stamp!

I used the sketch from last weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge for my Teacher booklet… I bound it with the bind it all, brown 3/8 in. Owires and it’s going to my daughter to keep track of the books the children read this year. The pattern paper is a Cosmo Cricket 6×6 pad, an old dictionary page, tiny attacher staples, Quickutz apple basket, button and the “thank you” sentiment is HERE. A great set of Fall sentiments. The apples in the basket are the apple that Honey is holding. I just stamped that area three times, cut them out and colored them.

Teacher Honey is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic sketch markers.

Birthdays come quite frequently around here! For once I am thinking ahead! This Easel card will be for our Granddaughter Gena. She is turning 3 on 8/8! Two of our oldest daughter’s children have birthdays where the month and the day are the same number…SO much easier to remember! lol

This is my DT card for Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge Blog this week. Another awesome sketch by Korin. Hope you can join us this week!

Finally broke down and purchased some of the new images from Penny Black…they were “calling my name” as I’ve heard it expressed! lol This little gal’s name is Mimi and I ♥ her! The name of the stamp is Sweet Thing, 4084 H is the stamp code. I used the Fantasy tree, 3880 K to stamp the random dots around her on the scallop oval. Lace Frost stickles dabbed around on the dots and here and there on the cupcake…gemstones on the corners of the sentiment rectangle. The sentiment is happy, happy, 00106 E. The pattern papers are from Making Memories, the flower border punch is from Martha Stewart and the open scallop border is from EK Success. Mimi is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, paper pieced and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Also linking to the Penny Black Allsorts challenge Blog.

Gena will love her!

Fun in the Sun…

July 22, 2010July 23, 2010 Pam Sparks34 Comments

OOPS! Sunburn!!! Lala has taken the heat advisory to heart here in Iowa today and is finding fun in the sun! Not me, mind you, I’m staying in the house!!! lol My fun is coloring in the A.C.! You’ll find Beach Lala HERE along with both of these fun sentiments and two more all on the same piece of rubber! I love getting a new package of rubber stamps in the mail to cut up! Yes, of course in the A.C.! I wilt in this kind of weather… fast! lol Alright, I’ll shut up about it!

Lala is standing on the Romantic Sunset Background from Magnolia Wedding Collection just released a month or so ago…I love their backgrounds with all the cute images I love to create with. The swirl/wave looking bunch and the dotted wave punch are both EK Success border punches. I used my stamp a ma jig to position the sentiment “life is a beach” along the bottom of the card. I used coluzzle templates to cut out the circles.

Lala is colored with Copic Sketch Markers

Oh the challenge of coloring hair! Her hair is dark but I like it….can’t make everyone blonde! lol I do have one granddaughter with red hair and blue eyes…the other red heads have brownish eyes… oh the challenges of coloring! lol

I’m linking my card to the following challenges…

Lala Land Crafts Challenge – Upcycle

Moxie Fab World – Let’s do Fun & Cute

Color Throwdown Challenge – I used Not Quite Navy and Wild Wasabi. I don’t have Marina Mist yet so I subbed Baja Breeze. (I know, not much of the wild wasabi, the sentiment is matted with it and I used matching copics)

Creatalicious Challenge – show some 3D

Tiddly Inks Challenge – I used their sketch (wanted to give them credit – I didn’t use their image)

Happy stamping to you and hope you’re cool where you are!!!

Happy Birthday Henry…

July 20, 2010September 2, 2011 Pam Sparks33 Comments

Today is our grandson Henry’s 4th Birthday… so exciting! Henry has a stuffed puppy dog that he carries around that looks like this cute little Puppy from CC Designs. This Puppy with Kite is a new digi release from CC Designs HERE. The sentiment is HERE. I cut circles with Nestabilites circle dies HERE and on the inside is a Magnolia Summer background from the Fairytale release HERE. The pattern papers are from a K & Co. 12×12 pad. The stitching lines are from a clear set by Technique Tuesday called Borderline Notions.

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday challenge Blog.

Thanks for stopping by! You make me happy!

Butterfly Birgitta…

July 18, 2010October 8, 2012 Pam Sparks31 Comments

I’m showing you Butterfly Birgitta in this post…Hoping to have another card to show you tomorrow. I used Bo Bunny pattern paper, EK Success medium and small retro flower punches, Hero Arts pearls, JoyCrafts greenery die, Marianne Designs swirl die, Nestabilities oval dies, Martha Stewart border punch and an Accucut shipping tag die for the “hidden” text! Birgitta is colored with Copic Sketch Markers and a white signo uniball pen on the flowers…hard to see in the photo. I can’t decide if I like leaving it lighter around her eyes or not! There is always something after I think I’m finished with a project! lol

I’m linking to the Sketchy Colors Challenge Blog… Love this sketch and the design team examples were inspiring…the colors to use were Turquoise, pink and lime green. FUN! At Anyone for Anya Challenge Blog they want to “be dazzled”! I used the Spica clear glitter pen and pearls for that. The challenge at Wild Orchid Craftsis to “say it with flowers” gotta love that and the challenge on Paper Sundaes right now is make your own flowers and I did that!

Thanks for stopping by! Stamping to “beat the heat” here! lol
