The trip of your dreams…

August 31, 2009March 4, 2013 Pam Sparks15 Comments

I don’t think about going anywhere very often, but I enjoy stamping about traveling! lol I used some 7 gypsies papers and a tag. The Anya shopping stamp is from The Greeting Farm…the trip of your dreams is a stamp from B Line Designs…I think the Post Card stamp is Inkadinkado. Anya is colored with copic sketch markers!

I suppose the real trip of my dreams would be stamp shopping and purchasing one of everything! But where to put it all would be a problem, so I better just be happy and I am! Internet shopping is so easy and the Greeting Farm has great stamps and more coming out soon!!!

Hope you’re enjoying a sunshiny day! It’s nice here in Iowa!

The Season of Change

I’ve had this Tilda by Magnolia for I don’t know how long and just had to get it stamped and colored this week! I used a sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge blog.
It is just my “style”!

Tilda from Magnolia of Sweden – Pattern Paper by K&Co. – cardstock by Bazzill – ribbon by Martha Stewart – sentiment stamp from Michael’s….

I really don’t want to think about this year being more than half over! But I do enjoy the fall colors, the cooler weather and lower humidity! oh and playing in the leaves! HA!

Inky Impressions Challenge #12

August 26, 2009August 26, 2009 Pam Sparks19 Comments

The challenge this week at Inky Impressions is to use the sketch that Tonya created.
I used Angelica Daydreams from Inky Impressions Rubber Stamps and colored with copic sketch markers.
I decided to show my close up picture first….she’s wishing for a Happy Birthday or something!

I thumbed through my 6×6 Basic Grey Urban Prairie pad and thought this piece looked challenging but fun! This is what I ended up with. I haven’t done sketches very often and I kept wanting to quit adding stuff, my nature you know…hehe

The flower band is a Tonic border punch, the sentiment is part of a sentiment stamp from Inky Impressions, the flowers are from a mixed pack from Hero Arts, the two different leaves are both from the Punch Bunch, SU oval punch, EK Success paper shapers butterfly punch, Making Memories brads, nestabilities rectangle die and the fence stamp is from Magnolia.

Thanks Tonya for the challenge sketch! Hoping you all can join myself and the other Inkettes in playing along this week…thank you for visiting my blog!

My copic marker holder…

Look what I found at Oozak.com a few weeks ago…it’s the perfect copic marker display and it holds up to 288 markers! Love it!
Since I don’t have a post for today, yet… I thought you might like to see this wonder! I like it because it doesn’t take up much space and the markers are in order!!! oooh, love that!

I have it turned vertically on my desk, I can keep my “jig” handy and my memento black ink pad right there in the bottom of it!

It really is made to be horizontal, so the second picture I turned it so you could see it that way too. I suppose the slot at the side is for a retailer to keep color brochures about the product.

I love it…what do you think? it’s a great price too!!! gotta love that!

Isn’t he adorable! oh he was so fun to color too! look at the dirt on those new sneakers!!! He is so precious! Doesn’t every child love a watering can! or a garden hose for that matter!

Here’s the link to check these wonderful images out to purchase… Mo’s Digital Pencil

I print the digital images on my Epson C120 inkjet printer with real Epson Dura Brite Ultra ink, but I have to spray them with an acrylic sealer to keep the ink from bleeding and ruining the tips of my copic sketch markers. Yep, color away with the awesome copic sketch markers… Some gals aren’t having any problems but just a heads up so you’re prepared!

Thanks for coming to my blog and I love receiving your comments and replying!
