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!

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!

Bright Wishes Lili

October 3, 2009September 2, 2011 Pam Sparks16 Comments

The Ways to Use it challenge at Splitcoast stampers this week is Say it With Pizzazz. Here is my submission. I used my new to me Lili with a birthday cake and Printworks Bright Wishes sentiment. My pizzazz is the birthday candles I punched from my EK Success candle border punch. I replaced the “i” in the words with the punched candles. I punched them in white card-stock and colored them with copic markers.

This is a matchbook gift card holder type card. Open it up and see the envelope that I trimmed to fit and punched with a one inch circle punch. I could not get the words to be in focus for the inside…weird…not a good picture day for sure…she is so much better IRL! I’ll have to take pictures again when the sun comes out…ugh! It’s Iowa and we’ve been accused that all we talk about is the weather so I’m trying not to complain…so the positive side is, the grass never turned brown this year!!!

Happy Card Making DAY!!!!

Tilda cooking up somethin’

September 11, 2009August 12, 2017 Pam Sparks19 Comments

The project this month at the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog is this accordian folder holder made with business size envelops, chipboard, pattern papers and of course Magnolia stamps!

Here’s the front! This Tilda is from the Fall Kit you preorder, sight unseen! Full of yummy images!
They are available to order individually now. The kitchen cabinet is from hÄnglar stamps, also a Swedish stamp company. I colored with my copic sketch markers and the pattern papers are from My Minds Eye. The label punch and stamp are from Stampin Up. I used the Tim Holtz tiny attacher (staples) and my oval nestabilities dies for the rug. Hope that’s everything…give a holler if I missed something!
