I created a little scene with Emma taking a break under the umbrella! The beach pail zipper pull is from my stash of old stuff! ugh! sorry about that… it’s from Junkitz… I loved their zipper pulls and have a package or two of all the ones they came out with 7 years ago or so! My time goes by fast!

Slug bug…no slugs back!

August 29, 2011August 29, 2011 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Remember all the Summer trips across the country looking for “bugs”?! haha Our parents were goin’ nuts trying to keep everyone from fighting! “She touched me!” Oh those were the days… I loved laying in the back of the station wagon on my back reading though. The miles sure went faster with a book in my hands!

More FABULOUS stamps for Summer from Printworks Collection… here’s the pdf files for these new images HERE and HERE. Super FUN for all occasions! The banner ribbon is from an old PW stamp that is a bow border! I couldn’t find it in the online store but you can sure ask Nicole about it via email or the phone. Background Polka Dot Wave border G2299 is HERE in rubber. All PW stamps are available as wood mounted or cling mounted now!!! yea! I used a PW alphabet set called Chalkboard. The pattern papers I used are also from PW… 12×12. The image is stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks dye stamp pads… Squish the pad while it’s closed to get ink on the inside of the lid, then pick up the color with your brush and paint away! Beautiful colors! Stamp pad colors I used to paint the images… Citrus Green, Emerald Green, Robin’s Egg Blue, Granite Gray, Sunflower and Tangerine. They are in the Printworks online store, HERE.

Nicole says they are working on getting a new online store set up! Can’t wait! In the meantime, email or call Nicole with your orders! PrintworksCollection@yahoo.com or Toll Free: (800) 854-6558

Thanks for sharing my nostalgic trip down memory lane! Have a great week!

P.S. The latest Magnolia Ink Magazine, Chocolate Dreams is in the store HERE… Best price I’ve seen anywhere! $9.30 and free shipping with a $40 order!!!

How’s the ride? Super fun new stamps from Printworks… remember the VW Bus! Images are all stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks dye stamp pads… Squish the pad while it’s closed to get ink on the inside of the lid, then pick up the color with your brush and paint away! Beautiful colors!

It’s so hot and humid here in Iowa that I’m sure everyone is wishing they could be visiting the ocean…especially the kids heading back to school!

Stamp pad colors I used to paint the images… Citrus Green, Emerald Green, Robin’s Egg Blue, Oak Brown, Granite Gray, Sunflower, Tangerine, Raspberry Pink and Peony Pink. They are in the Printworks online store, HERE.

Summer Release stamps I used are G4120 VW Bus and D4121 Enjoy the Ride.

Surfboard and Hang Ten are from last year’s Summer Release, HERE.

Flower is C2687 – Hibiscus in the store, HERE.

The fun blue and white stripe paper is from Printworks too! I don’t see it in the store but most of these stamps aren’t in the store yet. Nicole says they are working on getting a new online store set up! Can’t wait! In the meantime, email or call Nicole with your orders! PrintworksCollection@yahoo.com or Toll Free: (800) 854-6558

Country Lula for August Tuesday Review…

August 16, 2011March 10, 2013 Pam Sparks27 Comments

My card for today uses Country Lula, the new Rolling Rose die (video below) and a sentiment from the new Mixed Messages stamp set.

The tool I used to help me roll up the rose is in the store HERE.

I made a video for the Rolling Rose die…

I stamped Country Lula on PaperTrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch markers. I masked her with Eclipse tape and stamped the chicken wire background stamp from Oxford Impressions behind her and the grass below her. I think the grass is from Rubber Stampede. Inked the sky in with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the grass with Peeled Paint Distress ink and the Ink Blending Tool.

The little white flowers are from Maya Road, the pattern paper pad is 6×6 For the Record from Echo Park, Martha Stewart Around the Page Punch set, Hero Arts gems, machine stitching and the leaf frond is a small Sizzlet die from Stampin Up.

Here’s a close up of this cutie!
