I know, I know… it’s not Christmas! lol This has just been unfinished for three weeks or so and I had to finish it yesterday!!! Just had to so I could move on! I’m happy with it finally! One of those cards where I had to keep walking away and coming back! eek!

I love this Printworks chair… the third time I’ve used it and the second time for this Printworks window that I love too! HERE, HERE AND HERE. All the stamps I used are from Printworks. The pattern paper is from the Echo Park 6×6 pad called Season’s Greetings. The Chair is paper pieced. I edged the pieces with Distress Walnut Stain ink and the ink blending tool. I think this living room type scene could be for any time of year! Happy 2nd day of 2012 to you and yours! Hope you don’t have the biting cold wind that we have here in Iowa! Brrrrrr. Wish I didn’t need to go out today! Hip hip hooray this card is done though!!! lol

Sweet November Winter Kids Zach…

December 27, 2011December 29, 2011 Pam Sparks19 Comments

All That Scraps Tuesday review today… CC Designs Sweet November Winter Kids line is featured today on the ATS blog HERE. I needed one more Christmas card for a nephew last night… Zach was perfect for a young man! I tried coloring his headband or what is that called? camouflage. lol The piece of pattern paper is from October Afternoon’s 8×8 campfire pad. The holly punch is from The Punch Bunch and I punched it in two colors and layered the lighter over the darker. I had to edge the papers with Walnut stain Distress ink and my ink blending tool. AmyR stamps Snowman Sayings for the Coolest Holiday Greetings sentiment. Zach is “cool”!

I heart YOU….

December 13, 2011January 13, 2012 Pam Sparks20 Comments

How sweet is this NEW Lula Big Heart! Part of the December CC Designs Release! I paper pieced her heart with Basic Grey pattern paper from the Eskimo Kisses 6×6 pattern paper pad. The card base pattern paper is from the same collection but it’s a piece from the 12×12 size. Such a happy Swiss Pixies Lula! The “I heart you” sentiment is from the new AmyR Stamps Heart-y Sayings set. Martha Stewart heart border…Fiskars teeny heart punch (hand held paper boy type punch)…holly is from an old All Night Media border punch or the old Fiskars holly border punch has tiny holly leaves too. Can’t find either one to link to though… sorry! I love teeny stuff… sometimes I buy something I don’t like just because of a teeny part of it I want! lol

On the inside I used another piece of the Eskimo Kisses pattern paper from the 6×6 pad. The heart and lacy border are the new Big Hearts die from the CC Designs Cutters December Release! So cool! They emboss a stitching line around it too! No sentiment yet, but I will use something from the Amy R Sentiment sets for Christmas.
