Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenge…

December 28, 2012December 29, 2012 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Happy New Year! Our challenge to you this week at Tilda’s Town challenges is to create something for the New Year!

I used a couple older Magnolia stamps from the So Jolly collection @ Tilda’s Town. com, HERE and the snowflake DooHickeys die HERE.

I stamped on PTI card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Die cut the Fir in Snow image with Spellbinders rectangle die, left it in the die and embossed it. Colored in the snowflakes with white gel pen. Let them dry and then used Distress ink pads in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans, applied with the Ink Blending tool while the image was still in the die. The Calendar stamp is colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Stardust stickles on the snowflake and circles.

The pattern paper is from SEI… two years ago, maybe three… who knows! lol I purchased three sheets of it and I still have one left! It’s so pretty. Do you remember my House Mouse card? I used it then too… it’s HERE… I loved this card. Are you ever that way? Every once in awhile I have a card I just love more than others… hehe So, make that three years… the date of this post was 2009! My how time flies!

I used my Perfect Paper Layering Tools… link over there on the right! Yes, YOU need them… they are awesome! : ) Use that Christmas cash! HOHOHO

Happy New Year to you dear stamping friends! It’s been a great year and 2013 is looking even better! Why? Because today our internet service was fixed!!! I have been limping a long with less than stellar service for a couple years. The last several months it’s progressively gotten worse until this last week it’s been less than 1 mbps when it’s supposed to be up to 15 mbps!!! I am in shock today to be speeding along! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry! All that to say, I hope I get around better this year! I should!!!!

It’s a joy following and sharing this wonderful stamping and paper-art hobby with you! Thanks again for a wonderful 2012 and looking forward to 2013!

Be sure to scroll down for the great sale at the Scrapping Center! Trust me, it’s amazing! hehe

talk to you again soon!

Stampendous, Bundled Up!

Another cutie Kiddo from Stampendous! Love her smile! Washi tape from My Minds Eye and the row of hearts from Printworkscollection.com… She’s stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill 80# cover color copy paper (scroll down in my posts for links) and colored with Copic Sketch markers! oops! Just realized I was going to finish coloring her. I colored her while I was watching grandkids and with my granddaughter’s limited color selection of markers… I was going to blend and finish at home and completely forgot until I looked at my photo… oh well, you will give me coloring grace this time, right?! hohoho

Lawn Fawn – Snowman…

November 11, 2012January 27, 2013 Pam Sparks23 Comments

I’ve been wanting to use my Lawn Fawn stamps and earlier this week when a couple of our granddaughters and their friend were over, we played with them! So fun!

Of course my snowman had to be holding a heart! (MS border punch) I used a Magnolia DooHickeys tree die and limeade twine.

I stamped on Hammermill 80# color copy cover paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I used my Perfect Paper Layers Tools to matt the image and MFT Die-namics cloud dies for the snow! The greens are Forest green , Apple Cider and Pear green. The blues are Twilight Sky and Midnight Blue. I used Flexmarkers for the grays… Blue Grey 1, 2, 3, 4. Can’t remember the browns on the birdie. The orange is pumpkin.

I’m linking up to the Lawnscaping Challenge and the theme is “Dust ’em off”! woohoo! My card made the Top Mows!

CAS Favorite at SplitCoast Stampers! YEA! Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Off to make a card for tomorrow’s Sweet Stamping Pixies Post! It’s a rainy day here… we have to go buy a new dishwasher. I love my old Maytag… it does such a great job! oh why, did it have to start leaking?! boohoo We bought it new when we moved here over 20 years ago… I suppose that is why! lol Anyone love the new Maytags? What to buy???
