Back to School Angelica

September 3, 2009September 2, 2011 Pam Sparks20 Comments

I’ve made this card for THREE challenges…woohoo! Quit laughing at me! I’ve come a long way! lol Cute Card Thursday’s challenge this week is Back to School. The sketch is from Friday Sketchers challenge blog and today’s ways to use it challenge at Splitcoast Stampers is “sand it”! I decided Angelica heartsocks looks all dressed up and ready to go to school! I had to fiddle with the sketch but it looked like the other gals did too…then the “sand it” for SCS is just the matte after-all… I made a couple other things but just couldn’t make them work! I usually do that…that’s why my desk is a mess!

I love the stamps from Inky Impressions….these girls are the sweetest and my faves right now! I’ll be using some new ones soon….can’t wait! First it’ll be sneak peeks and then a blog hop, I’m told…my first!

I love your comments and really appreciate you taking the time! Have a great LONG weekend!

more fun with copics, nestabilities dies, stamps and punches! Spellbinders, Martha Stewart, Punch Bunch, EK Success and a button brad from Making Memories.
Not sure what I’ll do with this card…Breanna thought she looked like a “call” girl… EEK!
I don’t usually do that style!!! I’m thinking she’s headed for a Summer birthday party. lol

The trip of your dreams…

August 31, 2009March 4, 2013 Pam Sparks15 Comments

I don’t think about going anywhere very often, but I enjoy stamping about traveling! lol I used some 7 gypsies papers and a tag. The Anya shopping stamp is from The Greeting Farm…the trip of your dreams is a stamp from B Line Designs…I think the Post Card stamp is Inkadinkado. Anya is colored with copic sketch markers!

I suppose the real trip of my dreams would be stamp shopping and purchasing one of everything! But where to put it all would be a problem, so I better just be happy and I am! Internet shopping is so easy and the Greeting Farm has great stamps and more coming out soon!!!

Hope you’re enjoying a sunshiny day! It’s nice here in Iowa!

The Season of Change

I’ve had this Tilda by Magnolia for I don’t know how long and just had to get it stamped and colored this week! I used a sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge blog.
It is just my “style”!

Tilda from Magnolia of Sweden – Pattern Paper by K&Co. – cardstock by Bazzill – ribbon by Martha Stewart – sentiment stamp from Michael’s….

I really don’t want to think about this year being more than half over! But I do enjoy the fall colors, the cooler weather and lower humidity! oh and playing in the leaves! HA!
