Flashback…

Pam Sparks11 Comments

So here’s the scoop for Flashback Friday Challenge Blog…**first card you have posted with a window cut into the front of the card** I found this in my Splitcoast Stampers Gallery,  I made it for Christmas 2007.   yipes,  where does the time go!  I know I got the idea from someone online but I sure don’t remember where now!  If it was you,  THANKS!  I loved the inspiration!  This is not the first card I ever made with a window cut in the front… I’ve been stamping since April of 1994,  so it’s impossible to remember that first one! For me that is!!! lol

HERE is my card in my SCS gallery.  Wish I had a picture of the inside but I can’t find one. figures.

What a fun challenge blog… I love looking back… have a nice day and see you tomorrow!

Amy’s Trick or Treat Princess…

Pam Sparks24 Comments

I’ve had this card started for a couple weeks…finally got it almost finished earlier in the week but today was “the day” to get it on the brown!  lol  I know,  I use a lot of “brown”!  I like it!  An adorable image by Amy Young for CC Designs… the cutest Baby Trick or Treater.   I hope you can see the detail in this awesome tree die cut too… I’ll post a close up.  Awesome woodgrain (brown) lol!   The grass and the ABC frame are cut on my old original Cricut.  I love the Graphically Speaking cartridge… lots of fun stuff that I have yet to cut!  Martha Stewart’s fence border punch.  The pattern paper is by Bo Bunny and the teeny apples are a Fiskars hand held apple punch.

The close up…

I used the same color combos I always use… boring… hehe  Hair – E50, YR31, 23,24,  Dress – R24, 27, 29, 59,  Skin – E000, 00, 01, itty bitty bit of E21 and I can’t remember what I used on her cheeks this time.  I figure I did good to remember this much! lol
