PamSparksHollyFrameScene

Merry Christmas and to all a good night! I’m posting today on the Memory Box blog… the last day of the Merry and Bright Blog Blitz!  Be sure to click over and comment for a chance to win!

It’s been so fun to introduce this new collection from Memory Box!  I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing how the NEW dies and stamps look!  This is an A-6 size card.

My card today uses the NEW Holly Holiday Frame die set, Peace Script die, Holiday Hats dies, Mini Holly Leaves die, Deers in the Field stamp and “to all a good night” stamp. 

Memory Box Kraft, Cranberry and Dill note cards and card-stock…a couple red gems and it was done.  

I love the beautiful embossing on this NEW Holly Holiday Frame die… I used a dauber to add gold Delicata ink to the embossing while the die cut was still in the die.

It was fun to work up a Christmas card with a masculine feel…

I’d take some snow right now, here in Iowa!  It was so hot and humid yesterday.  At 8 p.m. it was still 90˚! We went out to go for a bike ride but came right back in! lol

I love making scenes with Memory Box dies and stamps!  A Sapphire notecard for the card base, Dill, Vanilla Bean, Sapphire and white notecards to cut the dies from.  Someone, please makes some snow! lol   OK – I’ll settle for staying inside in the air conditioning!

PamSparksManorHouseSnowFront700

Keep cool and stamp on!  yikes!  Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoying my snow! I’ll be back Friday with two posts!  This week of posting could easy be a record for me!  Never fear,  I won’t be able to keep it up! lol

Take care and thanks again!  I appreciate your comments and encouragement so much!

Another nostalgic Christmas scene that brings back memories of growing up in the city.  Oh I had fun creating this card!  When I first saw the new release I spent hours pouring over what I could do with them all!  When they got here, I had to adjust a little but in the end,  I’m so happy with everything I’ve made so far!  I hope they inspire you and add creative energy to your day!  : )

Memory Box Marvelous Bridge step card…

PamSparksBridge700

I had fun creating this step card for one of my classes in Ottumwa, Iowa!  It’s a city with a lot of bridges and hot air balloon festivities too!  I do have a few class kits left for purchase if any of you are interested.  They come with complete instructions, die cuts for three cards and I can stamp the sentiments for you if you’d like too. I would mail priority with delivery confirmation.  Email tab is under my blog header.

The Marvelous Bridge die is so cool!  I teamed it up with the new Dancing Butterflies die, Balloon die, Puffy Clouds and the Grand Old Oak tree.  Then from Poppystamps dies, I used the Picket Fence and Grassland dies.

Memory Box Dill, Granny Smith, Water, Licorice, Vanilla Bean, Dove Gray, Kraft, Raspberry and White card-stock.  Currant Distressed Dots paper.

So glad you stopped by! Happy Memory Box creating!

p.s. tomorrow the Memory Box design team starts showing the new Fall and Christmas release over on the Outside the Box, Memory Box blog, HERE
