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!  ♥ ♥ ♥

    Tilda, Family and What’s New!

    Pam Sparks37 Comments

    (E.T.A. 7:25 pm)  WE JUST HAD A SHORT, WILD, WINDY THUNDERSTORM!!!  GUESS WHAT?!  Then bright sunshine and a rainbow… I grabbed my camera and  took this out the window, so it’s not great but how COOL!

    Tilda is bringing us a great reminder today, especially since it’s that time of year around here!  This cutie Tilda in Spring Rain is available HERE, part of the Chasing Butterflies Collection.  Colored with Distress Inks available HERE.  EK Success Medium Retro flower punch and leaf punch.  I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher instead of thread in the button holes (I did put them in by hand).  The cute saying is from an Inkadinkado clear stamp set called Friendly advice available HERE,  I still need to get this one HERE,  so cute!  Gingham and polka dot paper is by October Afternoon…scallop ledger paper is from Creative Imaginations.  I edged everything with Antique Linen Distress ink and the ink blending tool (link in sidebar).   Tilda and the sentiment are stamped with Versafine Onyz Black Ink available HERE.

    Linking to the Magnolia Down Under Challenge blog today…the theme is polka dots!

Our youngest daughter Breanna and her DH are expecting their second child this month,  so it will be an exciting month here!  By the end of the year Tim and I will have 12 grandchildren!  They are all wonderful!!!

    ♥♥♥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!

    Rolled flowers,  hand stitching, stamping, coloring and punching,  oh and a little distressing!

    I used quilting thread and a quilting teeny needle (size 12) to backstitch around the oval.  I pierced the holes first.  I need to find a little heavier thread though…last time I did this the thread was too heavy…gotta find that happy medium!  This Lili is so cute licking her ice cream cone – She looks like she could be taking a break from working at a drive up ice cream shoppe…one thing about an ice cream shoppe,  you know it’ll always be cool inside!  So… “have some ice cream”  is from a clear stamp set by Hero Arts HERE.

    I tried rolled flowers (how to HERE) …I like it!  A one and a quarter inch circle punch for the larger and one inch for the four smaller flowers. The branch is from the Punch Bunch.  The heart stick pin is from Fancy Pants and the pink heart pearl is from Hero Arts HERE.

    You can buy Lili Ice Cream HERE,  the border punch HERE,  the nestabilities oval dies HERE,  stamping ink HERE,  Bazzill 3mm teeny brads HERE,  Copics for coloring HERE and the Tim Holtz distressing tool HERE.

    Linking to these Challenge blogs…

    Have a relaxing and thankful Memorial weekend!  ♥  I appreciate you coming by to visit!
