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!

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!!!
