Free Wheelin’ Wally…

Pam Sparks23 Comments

Isn’t Wally the cutest turtle ever to hit the sidewalk?!  Today the All That Scraps DT is reviewing the Cuddle crew and Sugar stamps,  part of CC Designs October release, HERE.  I really enjoyed coloring Wally and I used the Sweet Stop Sketch for this week.  I missed Saturday!  So here’s my take on it today.  I used the new Basic Grey Wander Paper,  HERE.

Here’s Wally up close…

I think he wants us to get out of his way! lol  Six of our grandchildren (Heather and Ben’s) were over Sunday afternoon.  The oldest is ten and imagine my surprise when I came outside and he was riding my bike!!!  oh my, he can’t be but he is!  tall enough!!!   It was a fun afternoon,  youngest is 15 months and wow!  he can kick the ball good!  So CUTE!  He’ll be riding a bike before we know it too! They grow up so fast!  A funny about Corrin (the 15 mo.old) – I wonder if Heather has read a book about living in a tree… oh Pooh or the Berenstain Bears or something.  Corrin loved looking at this one tree in the neighbor’s parking….it’s an old one and looked like there could be an opening at the bottom… he had to examine that and then look up to the tippy top for quite a while too,  a couple different times! It’d be fun to know what he was thinking! lol

Have fun reviewing the October stamps… and get this…the SALE this week,  HERE, Cuttlebug 2010 Folder Sets and A2 Plus are all 40% off until they are gone. Over 29 different folders in stock and discounted!!!!  Check them out!  PUNCHES 10% off with the coupon code “punch” HERE.  Then,  the last day to get the Sugarplums Christmas Kit as a kit, HERE, is this Friday the 15th… great savings purchasing the stamps as a kit. They will be released individually Nov. 1st.  Tim Holtz Halloween Embossing folders in stock, HERE.  I keep remembering more!!!  How awesome is this!!!  Custom name stamps, HERE!  Just in time for Christmas cards!  One for your return address,  one for the family signature inside your card and one for the back!  Very cool!

oh,  in case you want to know… I used YG00, 03,25, 95 for Wally,  the reds are R08, 24, E07 and some E43… I know weird combo…I just thought it needed more of a brown tone to go with the paper!  I did put a touch of green on his eye and used a silver metallic pen on the basket and the chain circle thingy.  N grays for the bike tires and anywhere you see gray.  Wally was stamped on Paper Trey Ink  card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I used nestabilities circles HERE to cut and mat him.  Happy pedaling!  and shopping!

HERE is my post with the other NEW Cuddle Crew stamp Daisy… and HERE is my post with one of the new Sugars… Sugar September.

You’re the pick of the patch!

Pam Sparks21 Comments

Lili and I agree….YOU’RE the pick of the patch!  It’s that time of year!  Pumpkins everywhere!  So,  I had this “idea” yesterday a.m. (so glad when I have one! lol)  to make this old fashioned looking pumpkin.  Can’t think of what the stuff is called…seems like Martha Stewart sells it… oh, maybe it’s honeycomb???  That is the look I was going for anyway…

I  ♥  it!  I punched 7 Punch Bunch ovals and folded them in half and taped them together.  The stem is a piece of brown card-stock that I rolled around my paper piercer and then glued the end and glued it to the leaf behind… isn’t it just the clever – ist thing?!!! hahahaha…the silliest things make me happy!  The “vine”,  don’t tell anyone but it’s really a holly die cut from Sizzix…ugh… but I liked it as a vine, think outside the box…see you didn’t realize it was holly,  did you?! I don’t really want to know! lol  It’s a cool die…one of those 12 in. long Sizzlets,  has a NOEL on it and a cool frame. The item # of the die is 656293.

My card today is for the Inky Impressions Challenge blog post – “anything goes”… click on over and join the fun!  The challenge is for two weeks,  can’t wait to see what you create!  You gotta top my pumpkin!!! lol

A side shot… (of that pumpkin)  : )

This really is about Lili (leelee) and her pumpkin…not about my pumpkin but I guess I shouldn’t write posts at night cuz I get silly! *cough*  You will find this awesome Lili and the other new releases from Inky Impressions, HERE.  Lili is colored with Copic Sketch Markers on Papertrey Ink card-stock.  Her hair is the E30’s, jacket is BV01 & 02, jeans are E40, 41 and 42, pumpkin is YR00, 02, 04, 07, YG93 & 95, skin is E000,00,01 and diluted R20 (R000)  Do you know if you can dilute a color with blender fluid?

I used Oval Nestabilities HERE and Labels 10 HERE.  The super fun sentiment is from Amy R’s Autumn sentiment set HERE.  K & Co. pattern papers… Stampin Up Old olive and Cajun “something” card-stock. Making Memories brads.  All the papers are edged with Distress inks HERE.

I used the sketch from the Everybody Art Challenge blog and at Stamp Something Challenge blog, the theme is Something Punchy!

Happy Friday!  I’m off to our area stamp club Christmas party this afternoon. Looking forward to it!  Thanks for stopping by and happy pumpkin making!!!

Sweet Stop Sketch meets Lili “falling for you”!

Pam Sparks42 Comments

It’s that time of year…leaves, changing colors…bringing welcome relief from the heat and humidity of Summer! Lili is enjoying Saturday romping in the fallen leaves!  She’s so cute and reminds me so much of our granddaughters… especially the two that have red hair!  We have five grandchildren with red hair… how cool is that!  oh,  I am biased! lol

Lili from Inky Impressions rubber stamps, is stamped on Beckett Expression card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink HERE and Colored with Copic Sketch Markers HERE.  Notice that cool picket fence….a new die from Magnolia HERE.  Then,  you gotta love that notebook border die too HERE!!!  The sentiment is HERE in this fall set… love it! The teeny words in a line are from a set by Technique Tuesday… the row of leaves is a new punch from EK Success.  I edged the circle nestabilites with Antique Linen distress ink HERE and the Nestabilities circles are HERE.

Here’s a close up of Lili playing in the leaves…so cute… look at all the detail!!!!  She’s got personality for sure!!!

This is my card for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge Blog post this week… SSS76.  Hope you can join us in the fun!  Korin’s sketches are awesome!

I followed the color challenge over at the Color Throwdown Challenge blog…had fun with this!

Over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog there is a photo inspiration and use beautiful Autumn colors and Copic Creations Challenge Blog is coloring “orange”,  so I’m linking up!

Sweet Stop Sketch Saturday and Pumpkin Marci…

Pam Sparks25 Comments

A cutie straight from the pumpkin patch!  Pumpkin Marci is from Lala Land Crafts, HERE.  So fun to color…love her shoes!  Always have had a weakness for shoes! Marci is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink HERE on Neenah Classic Crest 80# card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers HERE.   I colored her a month or so ago,  so I’m not going to be real exact on the colors…pretty sure her shoes are the E40’s and the orange is YR12, 14 and 18….can’t remember her hair. Seems like the greens are YG41, 45.  Two Martha S. border punches, the fence HERE and the pumpkins.  Oval Nestabilities HERE.  The word border stamp is from Technique Tuesday,  the corner leaf flourishes and the word Autumn are from Inkadinkado.  The trees in the background are from Kodomo, a wood mounted tree set.

Here’s the Sweet Stop Sketch 75 for today!  Check it out and join the stamping fun!!! The DT is so inspiring with their cards every week!

I know, the sketch police are chasing me! NOT! lol  I didn’t get the shape quite right..oops!  and when I got stopped,  I pulled out my “creative license” again! ugh! lol  I tried,  I did!!!  I really did…but then that 6×12 piece of card-stock was laying there leftover from the last card that needed a green base… so I used it! lol

The challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar is “Anything Goes” and over at Charisma Cardz Challenge it’s “Anything Goes”.  Stamp Something Challenge blog is “Fall Colors”  so I’m linking up!

have a great weekend everyone!  Appreciate your comments and the sharing you do on your blogs too!
