Inky Impressions 2nd Design Team call…..

July 23, 2009March 1, 2012 Pam Sparks18 Comments

This call is open to everyone!! Click here to go to the Inky Impressions blog for all the particulars!

I just found out about this rubber stamp company yesterday and placed an order today! My submission is going to have to be a creation from another stamp company, since I’m so late finding out. I am looking forward to creating with the new stamps when they arrive! They are really cute, sweet girl images….

This card I’m submitting is Anya from the Greeting Farm. I’ve colored her multiple times with copic sketch markers and layered her hair, puffy sleeves, bow and basket of flowers. I chose this Basic Grey paper from a 6×6 pattern paper pad. The stamped sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Thank you looking and comments received are truly appreciated!

Another gal from the Magnolia yahoo group posted a Magnolia snowman card this morning, triggering my memory of this card I created with my first Magnolia order from Sweden in 2007! Wow time flies! Anyway he’s so cute! I paper pieced him with Basic Grey pattern paper….I love this release from “back then”! lol

Unmounted stamp storage

July 20, 2009November 16, 2009 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Earlier this year I started using the 9 pocket ATC (baseball card) sheet protectors in a D-ring binder for all the little clear stamp sets I have. I LOVE how well you can see what you have! Well, yesterday, I got to thinking maybe my Magnolia unmounted rubber stamps would work in the 9 pocket sheets also…sure enough! IT’S AWESOME! Here’s a picture of how the Spring club kit ’09 fits all in one 9 pocket sheet protector! I then had to put all the rest of my Magnolias in the sheets too! Only one didn’t fit…the girl in the leaves from last Fall. I made her fit though!!! I cut, starting at the right side and around the top of her head and down the right side. So I have two pieces that fit right back together on the tack n’ peel acrylic block to stamp the image. Hope that makes sense. SUPER! I’m so excited! Doesn’t take much to please me I guess! lol

Happy 3rd birthday to Henry, one of our grandsons….A fun time was had by all!

Magnolia-licious is having a blog hop with an Edwin challenge so I’m going to enter this card…

Edwin is from Magnolia of Sweden rubber stamps, the Spring ’09 release. Doggy on his scooter is from Penny Black rubber stamps. Both colored with copic markers. The two postal cancellations are from Close to My Heart…love this set…(reminder to self) still need to buy the girl set. Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I traced around the actual punch and cut out, to get the solid butterfly to put behind the punched butterfly…just thought it needed that! Hours later….lol The happy birthday words are from EK Success and the 3rd is from Technique Tuesday. Wish Big is Amuse or Savvy, can’t remember and Henry’s name is die cut with Quickutz Blossom alphabet. The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye.

Henry has a stuffed doggy that he LOVES and carries with him almost everywhere! It looks like this Penny Black dog, so I just had to buy the stamp!!! lol Henry also has a red scooter….perfect. I usually don’t talk about family on this blog, but I have to tell you that Tim and I have 8 grandchildren and everyone is a total JOY! They make me smile and I love getting hugs and kisses!

ATC's

AMERICAN as baseball and apple pie….

July 12, 2009July 12, 2009 Pam Sparks3 Comments

The first ATC’s I created were in July of 2005. I made ten with a patriotic theme for an in person swap…each one different. I wanted to post something today but I don’t have anything new. We’ve had a lot going on with family – normal for Summer, right?! So, here is one of that series that set me on the journey of ATC creating and then below is the group.
