Miss Anya all fine and fancy….

November 5, 2009February 14, 2010 Pam Sparks15 Comments

dressed for the holiday with a flower in her hair and probably mistletoe behind her back!!!! I LOVE how these embossing folders worked on this Bazzil cardstock! Two are from Stampin Up and the words from Sizzix but I think they are deeper than some or something! Anya is colored with copic sketch markers.

I used the sketch from The Farm Fresh Friday post on The Greeting Farm’s blog by Mercy.

She is so charming! I love coloring these images! Here’s a close up….

Inky Impressions Challenges #22

November 4, 2009February 5, 2010 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Today’s Challenge is to use Inky Impressions Stamps/Image to make a card or project using this fun color combo.

I used Birthday cake Lili and some Hero Arts clear stamps and alphabet to make the Happy Birthday Jesus words…Bazzill cardstock, Cuttlebug paisley die, nestabilities circle dies and the center die is from Nellie Snellen. Lili is colored with copic sketch markers.

Check out the other Inkette’s cards on the challenge blog and stamp a long with us!

I just couldn’t resist when I thought of this idea! Our oldest daughter was born on Christmas Day and she is a red-head! A wonderful wife and mom now! The Happy Birthday Jesus song is stuck in my head! I need to get out some Christmas CD’s! lol

Guest Designer for November at All That Scraps….

November 1, 2009August 8, 2011 Pam Sparks26 Comments

Have I been having a blast cutting up rubber the last few weeks! The November release for CC Designs is over the top cute and fun to create with. I love Winter/Christmas images! Amy R from All That Scraps emailed and asked me to be their guest designer for November and I wanted to, but was a little apprehensive of whether or not I could do it! But how could I resist!!! I couldn’t! So here I am today with two cards created with some of the November release. Each Monday for the month of November I will be back with projects from the November new stamps!

Meet “Nora” one of the new Holiday Swiss Pixies…dressed for the cold and snow that’s sure to come!

For this card I used this wonderfully, Winterish pattern paper from American Crafts. The snowflakes are embossed already! I cut a strip from the Gingerbread House sheet and punched the bottom with an EK Success Slim border punch. The snowflakes and holly are from an EK Success Winter punch set that is just new. The pine branch is a Martha Stewart punch. I used mini brads for the berries with a little slash of white pen. I do like to dry emboss lines in my leaves and I use a mouse pad and a stylus to do that. The sentiment stamps I used here is new from All That Scraps also, watch for the set called Christmas card Greetings! I used the Bazzill itty bitty brads for her pigtail holders…they’re about 1/16th of an inch and I LOVE them!

Meet the critters from “Christmas Time” set…they are having a time getting ready for Christmas!

The kitty decorating the tree, the bunny hanging an ornament and the doggy getting all wound up in the lights! I used everything in the set except the words “Merry Christmas” to make this Diorama card. Not sure you can really see how fun it is by my photos! I did mine different than the tutorial…figures…hehe…I thought they left too much at the sides, so I cut it down to 1 1/4 inches. I also made it a 5×7 size.

I’m guessing they are sure to make you smile! I’ve sure enjoyed coloring them and more to come!

Copic Challenge #15 – Red Hair

November 1, 2009November 4, 2009 Pam Sparks18 Comments

I’ve colored Angelica with my copic markers for the 15th Copic Creations Challenge. I used E08, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21 for her red hair.
This is an adorable new stamp from Inky Impressions rubber stamps. Be watching for the release with a blog hop by the Inkettes on November 6th! Hurrah…love Winter stamps! Nicole, Inky Impressions owner graciously let me use this new image for this challenge. I have some other red-heads on my blog here, here, here and here.

If you click on the picture of the card, it takes you to my flickr account page and you can select a larger size to see the plastic straw that is his mouth!!! How fun is that! It’s even a bendy straw! lol Right above the photo on the flickr page, in the middle it says “all sizes”, click there and select large and you can see the straw better! This is really a 5×7 (A-7) size card but of course you can’t load it that large to your blog.

Mary is offering an outstanding prize this month to 7KidsCollegeFund online store. 7 Kids has everything your little heart desires in the way of stamping and coloring supplies and the prize is $35 to spend there! woohoo…bummer, I want to play! lol Don’t miss out and see all the details at Copic Creations Challenge blog! The Eligiblity rules are on the right and the other design team submissions are in the post! Awesome red-heads! Some of you know we have a bunch in our family! Two of our three daughters are red-heads and four of our nine grandchildren are red-heads! Just found out yesterday that we’ll have another one next year end of June. I need to stay young! lol
