Lemonade Sorbet for you….

Pam Sparks23 Comments

Mornin’  – not sure about Lemonade Sorbet for breakfast but could be yummy & cool later in the day!  I don’t have any though! lol  Not sure they even make such a thing!  I’m too busy stamping to be making it either!  *smile*

Today’s Challenge at All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge blog is to use ribbon and buttons.  I used ric rac and buttons…the buttons got me off on a sewing streak.  I think I need quilting thread or something heavier in the machine for this thicker type paper.  Regular thread doesn’t show up much and I sewed around the green piece twice!  whine, whine!

Buttons are Daisy D’s…ric rac is Bo Bunny’s…papers are Quite Contrary by My Minds Eye…flower is Stampin Up’s scallop punch… leaf is Stampin Up’s bird branch punch (the wing)

♥ The sketch I used is from the challenge at Sketch and Stamp Challenge Blog (Mon.) this week!
♥ What Summer means to me is the challenge at Our Creative Corner so I had to play along!
♥ Summer Fun is the challenge at Paper Sundaes (Sunday) another great blog!
♥ Summer/Travel is the theme at Stampin’ For the Weekend!  So FUN!

    Hope you can play along with us this week in the button and ribbon challenge!  It was fun!  Thanks for dropping in for a visit and ice cream!  ♥ ♥ ♥

    Lesa challenged the Design team for All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge Blog to a color challenge this week….so you get to be challenged next!  This one sent me searching through my cropper hopper paper holders for awhile…. light yellow,  light blue and pumpkin!!!  This paper is an old set from Chatterbox… the sketch I used is from The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog.

    Here’s what you’ll want to know to play along…we’d LOVE to have you!

    • your card must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store
    • one entry per person
    • you have until 10 p.m. EST Tuesday June 8th to load to Mr. Linky on the challenge blog
    • use the colors, light yellow, light blue and pumpkin on your card or project
    • Have FUN!

    Honey is stamped with MEMENTO BLACK INK... colored with COPIC SKETCH MARKERS…GIGGLE (Beach sentiments from ALL THAT SCRAPS) is stamped with VERSAFINE ONYX BLACK INK…FISKARS BEACH WAVES border punch… EK SUCCESS RETRO FLOWER SMALL punch…large flower is from a CUTTLEBUG 2×6 FLOWER DIE SET…BAZZILL TEENY 3 MM BRADS…teeny daisy for the FLOWER CENTERS from Michaels…

    I have another Honey card to post this week and a Tilda from Magnolia too!

    ♥♥♥You’ll see I have a new widget in my sidebar…. pause for a FAMILY MINUTE! lol   Tim and I have three married daughters,  our middle daughter Amanda and son-in-law Tim, have adopted two children from Ukraine, one in Oct. 08 and one in Oct. 09.  They are in the process of adopting two children from Bulgaria this year.  It is amazing and the children are delightful.  They change so fast once they have loving parents, a home, nutritious food and supplements. And of course grandparents!!!  We are so proud of them! Our daughters Heather and Breanna are working to help them with a new blog Adoption Miracles.  If you have time to visit,  I’m sure meeting Henry and Anya will make you smile.  We are anxious to meet Gloria and Mihail (Reece’s Rainbow changes their names when they put them on their website – safety precaution)  later this year also!  Thanks again for stopping by and sharing the love of stamping,  family and friends!

    A Splendid Adventure….

    Pam Sparks26 Comments

    Honey Sailor is setting out to travel/explore…a Splendid Adventure!

    This week for All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge blog,  Janneke created a sketch for us to follow.  Thanks to Janneke’s inspiration and ideas, I’m learning to love using sketches!  I started from the base up for today’s card.  Picked three colors of Bazzill monochromatic card-stocks, my favorite ever kraft and set out to conquer this sketch challenge!  Yep a splendid adventure indeed…I had fun! lol

    We’d LOVE to have you join us in the challenge this week…here is what you’ll want to know to play…

    • your card must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store
    • one entry per person
    • you have until 10 p.m. EST Tuesday June 1st to load to Mr. Linky on the challenge blog
    • use Janneke’s sketch on your card or project
    • Have FUN!

    I stamped Honey Sailor from CC Designs with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.  Cuttlebug 2×6 dies for the beach elements….EK Success border punch.  A Splendid Adventure is a Stampers Anonymous stamp…Explore and Travel are from a set by PSX all stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink.  I stamped the Sanded background stamp from Stampin Up with Walnut Stain distress ink on the kraft card-stock and elements.  The papers are all edged with Walnut Stain distress ink and the ink blending tool. I “always” work on the craft mat so the ink goes onto the paper from the mat so easily,  much better than working on scrap paper!  really,  it’s amazing and you use less ink and faster!!!  I scored my card base with Martha Stewart’s score board…love it!  So accurate!

    ♥Tab has added new stamps this week!!!   CC Designs (Adorable Darby and Penelope that I did last week, Honey and Swiss Pixies and more),  Whiff of Joy and you can pre-order the June, Bon Voyage issue of the Magnolia Ink too! 10% off her already discounted prices! LOVE that! ♥♥♥

    Here’s Honey waving good-bye for now!
