Cracked Glass Challenge…

Pam Sparks21 Comments

The Challenge this week on the All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge Blog is the Cracked Glass Technique.  I had to go to the basement and scrounge around to find my “vintage”  UTEE! lol

I love combining CC Designs rubber stamps. Birdhouse is HERE…Field Fence is HERE.  So many creative options.  Of course I used my trusty friend the Stamp a ma jig (link in sidebar) to position the birdhouse on the fence and the sentiment just where I wanted it!  Tim Holtz paper distresser, Distress inks and Ink Blending Tool (links in sidebar)…EK Success small retro flower punch and butterfly punch….small flower punches are from Michaels…gemstones are from Hero Arts (link to 7Kids in sidebar),  paper cord from JoAnn’s.  Bazzill Card-stock,  Kraft card-stock from DMD,  Woodgrain stamp is All Night Media.  Floral Background from a set by Hero Arts.  The images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers (links in sidebar).  Versamark and UTEE to get the cracked glass effect.

Thanks for checking out my card for today!  Hope you get time to play a long!  It’s a fun look for sure!

Beach Bound Lili and a VW “bug”…

Pam Sparks18 Comments

I love this new Beach Bound Lili from Inky Impressions and the new beach stamps from Printworks! I had a lightbulb moment to use them together but then it was challenging because I was looking at the stamps and not how they would stamp!  You know,  the other direction!  So back to square one for a bit there! lol

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!

♥♥♥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!
