Deck the halls….

I love this sentiment set from CC Designs by Amy. It came with the Winter kit and so did these two cuties, Emma and Trevor. They are just all the things I love! lol
I just had to start with the close up this time.

Here’s the card… I followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers

I used this Merrymint paper from American Crafts. I love this pine needle border punch from Martha S. The postage punch is by Marvy Uchida. The tree punch is a new EK Success punch and comes with a stocking too. The kids were colored with copic sketch markers. Pretty much the same colors I’ve used before and posted for other cards.
I need to get back to “deck the halls” here. I’d rather be stamping or looking at stamping!

Just remembered to check the comments for the paper give away from Nov. 30th! sorry… Linda Ward, I have some Memory Box Winter papers for you!!!

Christmas Cuties ATC swap…

December 10, 2009December 16, 2009 Pam Sparks11 Comments

I created this ATC for a Christmas Cuties Swap on the Vintage photo Image ATC’s Yahoo group. I used the 6×6 Websters Pages paper pad, Nestabilities Labels 8, an Anna Griffin stamp, a couple Hero Arts definition stamps and the first class cancelation stamp. The punch border is by Martha Stewart…love it!!! Gold german scrap borders and the holly is the postive pieces from the MS border punch. Glittered the holly with stickles. I can’t remember where I got the image! sorry about that. I drag images off and save them on my desktop and when I find them again (my desktop is a mess) it’s a surprise! lol She is a cutie and my photo does not do her cuteness justice!

Copic Creations Challenge #17…

December 1, 2009August 14, 2012 Pam Sparks30 Comments

Coloring snow and snowmen…we all love that! Take the challenge and be entered in the prize drawing for a $25 gift certificate to Whipper Snapper’s online store!!! oh man, hate it that I can’t enter!!! Win for me! Lots of adorable snow-people to purchase there!
Another photo straight on…I couldn’t decide which one I liked better *sigh*. The picture on the Copic Creations Challenge blog is different too! lol I’m “photo decision making impaired”! to say the least! lol

A couple close-ups…love this holly die from Quickutz! The jingle bells sentiment is from Stampendous and of course I should mention that the snowman sleigh stamp is from Whipper Snapper and colored with my copic sketch markers. Papers are from Memory Box and Bazzill. Snowman scene border and snowflake punches are Martha Stewart. Stickles glitter glue and Marvy snow marker add to the snowy effect…I hope! I’m really not ready for the real stuff! I wanted to tell you that I punched the die and punches out of white card-stock and colored them with my copic sketch markers…same colors I used on the image.
