Mimi sends Seasons Greetings…

Pam Sparks36 Comments

Today’s card is for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog.  Mimi is sending love at Christmastime!  I used Penny Black’s Royal Greetings stamp 4096K,  Hero Arts stamp C3159 Sending Love, and the stitching is from a clear set by Sandy Lion – Kelly Panacci Borders KPSTP4.  Mimi is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Mailbox blues are B30’s with some warm grays.  Greens are YG00’s and G99.  Reds are the 20’s, 59, E07 and some warm grays.  Hair is E30’s.  Skin E0000, 000, 00, 11. White flower soft on her hat.  The little heart on the envelope is a teeny  heart punch from a Fiskars handheld (paperboy type) heart punch. The tree charm “thing” is from Around the Block,  I think.  It’s old! Probably five years or so! The dark green paper is old PSX (Personal Stamp Exchange)… the tree paper is from American Crafts and I just purchased it this year!  How ’bout that! lol

Here’s a close up…

Here’s the sketch…

From the side…I don’t know why this tree embellishment was on my desk but I’m sure liking it!

I’m linking my Mimi card to the Stampin’ for the Weekend Challenge blog, HERE.  The challenge is Christmas!  At Penny Black @ Allsorts Challenge blog, HERE, the theme is Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  At Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog, HERE,  it’s a recipe.

Today and tomorrow left to shop the 10% off Sale at All That Scraps!  Info in this post, HERE.  Christine has added more new stamps!

Tree report… the tree is standing…still not decorated…but standing is good! lol  In looking at it,  I think the trunk is crooked and leans to the left.  I need to point that out to Tim and see what he thinks.  I’m gonna decorate that thing today if it’s the last thing I do!!!  I’ll post a picture then…I do love Christmas trees… just wish we could bottle up the time and treasure it a little longer.  Take care and good cheer!

Add Some Jingle…

I LOVE this charming Tilda from the Merry Little Christmas collection.

Here’s an “extreme”  close up of this cutie!

and the card from the side…

This is a Bo Bunny paper pad that came with the patterns in shapes that you punch out…  cool.  Tilda is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers… BG 90’s and Warm grays for her outfit…bench and antlers are E43, 44, 44, 49…holly is the YG90’s…hair is E50, YR 21, 23, 24 and E37 … skin E000, 00, 11 and a diluted R20 (diluted with R000 refill that I added to the barrel of the R20 marker).

I used a cling Hero Arts background stamp CG154 Aged Print Frame for the border of the square piece Tilda is on…Stampendous music background both stamped in Distress Old Paper ink.  The paper ribbon off the left side (small piece) is from a package by Anna Griffin.  “Add Some Jingle” is a new Printworks stamp,  HERE.  Ordering info in the left column, HERE. More new stamps under new releases in the left column.

Peace, Joy and Love be yours this Christmas Season!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I appreciate your friendships so much!!!

Caroling Luka and the Sweet Stop Sketch…

Pam Sparks22 Comments

Only two more weeks of my DT term with the Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge blog.  It’s been really fun and has strrrrretched and challenged me for using pattern papers!  Korin’s sketches are awesome…I challenge you to make some time (cuz that’s what you gotta do this time of year) and try one!  You’ll be hooked! lol

Today I inked up Caroling Luka from La-La Land  Crafts, HERE,  colored him with copics, some We R Memory Keepers papers, Magnolia Silent Night stamp,  Martha Stewart border punches, Marvy Uchida Holly craft punch, Lasting Impressions teeny buttons,  Me and My Big Ideas gold cord and Printworks new sentiment, D3940 – Grace Hope,   HERE.

Here’s a close up so maybe you can see the cool detail in the holly wreath he’s holding…so cute!

When I colored him,  I did the scribble copic marker ink on my stamp pad lid and pick it up with the lightest color and “like” paint it on…  then warm grays over the top… for example the hymnbook is E07 painted on with R000…fun!  ; )

What to do next?!  I need groceries…oh why do I procrastinate grocery shopping! bah!  I’ll go by sleigh!  The rain turned to snow!   Well, the tree needs lights and decorated too!  See?!  Aren’t you glad you’re not me today! lol  Now, where are those elves when you need ’em!!!  ttul!

Pam Sparks23 Comments

Do you love this bear as much as I do?  So ever lovin’ CUTE!!!  I had to create  a punch holly, berries and pine wreath for it’s neck! lol    The bare tree stamp is an old one from All Night Media… I think it’s still around though!  The little pine is from the Punch Bunch…the small holly is a Tonic corner punch and the big holly in the corner is the Martha Stewart holly punch that just has one leaf on it.  Old paper from Memory Box.

I took a close up shot because I’m lovin’ that neck wreath! lol

Have a great rest of the day!  Stay warm!
