Hello and HAPPY HAPPY Friday!
Today I have a preview of the brand new Karber Rubber stamp set that will be available at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps in just a few short days!

Karber's Millie is going to Hawaii!! Sounds good to me! Actually, I just returned to Seattle after visiting Florida and it's quite the shock to my system coming back to 35-40 degree weather! I could use a little bit of the ALOHA spirit (and weather) that Millie is shaking our way today!
This new set come with 4 stamps and 2 sentiments and they are all on clear poly.

For my card I've paired Hawaii Kawaii Millie with papers from My Mind's Eye Six By Six: A Beautiful Life paper pad and a bit of hand stitching.

Be sure to visit all rest of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Karber Hawaii Kawaii Millie. Sparkle will be giving away this Karber set to one lucky person!

The Sweet Smell of Pumpkin

Hello, Friends!
It's time for another fun challenge over at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps! This week SCRS #65 is another beautiful photo inspiration! All you have to do is create a card or layout, using your choice of SCRS stamp and the photo below (for full size photo please go to SCRS Blog).

For my card I've used Karber's You Are So Sweet (Leslie) again and paired her with papers from Papertrey Ink--a fabulous combination of patterned papers for Fall! Leslie is colored in Copics and embellished with MME Lost and Found Burlap and a button from Basic Grey. And the sentiment is included in this super cute set. Nothing says "loving from the oven," like some YUMMY Pumpkin Bread (and a pumpkin spice latte to compliment)! I'm dreaming of that wonderful aroma right now!

We'd love for you to play along in this week's challenge! One challenge participant will win a stamp from SCRS! Be sure to pop over to the Sparkle Creations Blog and check out all the sketchy inspiration!! Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Tuesday!!

Getting Sketchy with SCRS56

Hi Friends!
Happy Tuesday! Are you having a good week?
I'm excited because I get to share another Sparkle Creations Challenge card with you today!
This week the challenge is to create a card or project using a Sparkle Creations stamp and inspired by the sketch below. Check out the SCRS Blog for a full size, printable version of this sketch.

So for my card I decided to use the newly released (and SUPER CUTE) Soda Jenny.
I've paired Jenny with papers from Bo Bunny (can you believe I didn't say MME! okay...there's a little itty bit of MME in there too) and used Amuse Ribbon and Jewel Dots for embellishments. There's also a bit of Clear Spica for some sparkle, but the camera doesn't pick it up. Oh, and the sentiment comes with Soda Jenny.

I hope you'll play along with us this week. As always there's a free stamp up for grabs to one lucky winner. AND all Oliver stamps are on sale this month!

Also, there's more than one way to get your hands on some Sparkle Creations stamps this week...
SCRS/Karber are sponsoring a giveaway on the Paper Crafts Facebook fan page! You could win Reading Millie, Breakfast Leslie, Cafe Lucy and Bookworm Ruby! Here is the link to Paper Crafts Fan Page. Check it out!

Sparkle Creations Day 3

Hi Friends!

It's day 3 of August previews at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps and today we're previewing another cutie pie Karber Stamp! Check out Soda Jenny!!

For my card I've paired Soda Jenny with 'A Fair Day' papers from SEI, that pretty much created the perfect scene, so I didn't want to alter them too much. I added a bit a flair using ribbon from Amuse, a few jewel dots, some hand stitching and Soda Jenny's accompanying sentiment. And voila! A day at the fair!

You can check out Soda Jenny HERE on the SCRS blog and all the awesome samples from the links of my fellow DT below.

Deconstructed Leslie

Hi Friends!
Welcome back to another awesome Thursday challenge for the Deconstructed Sketch!
This week we're at Sketch 14 and I decided to finally get inky with this adorable Karber digital stamp that I've been hoarding.

Actually, I've been meaning to get inky with Music Leslie ever since I saw Charice sing 'Telephone' with Lea Michele on Glee. This stamp completely reminds me of Charice and I can't help but hear that song in my head now every time I see this cutie! Such a great head boppin' beat. :)
For my Leslie card I used these fab Alphabet Soup papers from My Mind's Eye, perfect for the tunes she's rockin out to. I also added just a bit of flare with some Amuse ribbon and Hambly Studios rub-on.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll play along with us! Be sure to check out what the Sketch Girls have for you over at the DSC Blog!!

A Good Book

Hi Friends!
It's another FAB preview day for Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps and I'm so thrilled to share this new Karber Stamp with you!!

This is Reading Millie and I think she is a stamp after my own heart (I LOVE books)! One of my favorite things to do during the Summer, is curl up outside with a good book, a glass of iced tea and take in some sunshine!! So, in my eyes, the sentiment that's included with Millie, is so fitting!

The papers I've used for my Millie card are from Basic Grey and My Mind's Eye. The ribbon is from May Arts and the flower is from my sweet friend, Mary.

Be sure to visit all rest of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Reading Millie. Sparkle will be giving away a Reading Millie to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer's blogs (list below). Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Millie post.
