Another nostalgic Christmas scene that brings back memories of growing up in the city. Oh I had fun creating this card! When I first saw the new release I spent hours pouring over what I could do with them all! When they got here, I had to adjust a little but in the end, I’m so happy with everything I’ve made so far! I hope they inspire you and add creative energy to your day! : )

*** This is one of the cards I’ll be teaching in Sacramento, CA the weekend of August 3rd and 4th! It would be so awesome to meet you! If you’re in the area join us for some creating fun!*** HERE is the store newsletter with all the class info…

Memory Box Marvelous Bridge step card…

June 30, 2013 Pam Sparks13 Comments

I had fun creating this step card for one of my classes in Ottumwa, Iowa! It’s a city with a lot of bridges and hot air balloon festivities too! I do have a few class kits left for purchase if any of you are interested. They come with complete instructions, die cuts for three cards and I can stamp the sentiments for you if you’d like too. I would mail priority with delivery confirmation. Email tab is under my blog header.

The Marvelous Bridge die is so cool! I teamed it up with the new Dancing Butterflies die, Balloon die, Puffy Clouds and the Grand Old Oak tree. Then from Poppystamps dies, I used the Picket Fence and Grassland dies.

Memory Box Dill, Granny Smith, Water, Licorice, Vanilla Bean, Dove Gray, Kraft, Raspberry and White card-stock. Currant Distressed Dots paper.

So glad you stopped by! Happy Memory Box creating!

p.s. tomorrow the Memory Box design team starts showing the new Fall and Christmas release over on the Outside the Box, Memory Box blog, HERE

Memory Box…Mannequin in the rain?

May 9, 2013August 6, 2013 Pam Sparks24 Comments

Is this too silly to post? ok, Don’t answer that! lol I got this mannequin die without the dresses that go with it…so I’ve been puzzling over it. A couple days ago I got this idea to put it with the umbrella in the rain! So it just grew from there! lol (I know, the buttons are big but it just adds to the whimsy of it? a raincoat!)

I had fun making it into a front panel step card and bringing in the tree too! It screams Spring! I forgot to add dandelions though! hahaha

The rain die was really fun and easy to run through several times to make the raindrop background. Lots of Memory Box dies, stamp and card-stocks…Water, Key Lime Gingham, Licorice Gingham, Licorice Distressed Dots, Sage, Vanilla Bean and Cherry Blossom.

Hope this finds you laughing in the rain! (it’s raining here) Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Happy Day! Susie listed my card in the SCS Favorites thread this week! Thanks Susie!
