Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #56. This week it is a sketch created by our very talented Kim. Thank you Kim! I love play with the sketches! 🙂

As you can see I used a new stamp Shopping Millie. She is so adorable and so happy after her busy day of shopping. You know what is great about this stamp? You can use for so many occasions :

– Christmas shopping for example;

 – Or how about creating a gift card holder;

– and why not to make a little tag and add it to the gift bag?

So many possibilities and only one stamp!

Would like to see even more creative ideas and wonderful cards that our DT made for you? Please, visit SCRS blog and play with us  – we can’t wait to see how Kim’s sketch inspired you. 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me your comments. I will be doing blog hopping today, I will meet you all there,

Karber Images Preview – Shopping Millie

Hello and welcome to the first day of previews at SCRS store. Today we are showing Karber line – let me introduce to you Shopping Millie! I think all women no matter how old they are, they all love shopping. Some love clothes, shoe, car, furniture, or home decor shopping; as for me I enjoy crafting supply shopping. 🙂

Shopping Millie

When I saw one of the Millie’s bags I knew right away what DP I am going to use. Don’t you think those colorful dots were “screaming” for this adorable stamp? Oh, did you know that this stamp comes with the sentiment Enjoy Life – perfect for Shopping Millie.

For the layout I played with the August Sketch For you To Try Challenge. What a fun sketch and really helped to put my card together.

Would you like to win this stamp? It is so easy. Just visit all rest of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Shopping Millie. Sparkle will be giving away a Shopping Millie to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer’s blogs. Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Millie post. You have until midnight EST each day to comment.

SCRSC #55 – Inspiration Picture

Hello and thank you so much for stopping by today. I have a new card for you to share which was made for Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #55. This week it is an Inspiration challenge. I went with the colors of the inspiration picture.

I used Backpack Oliver as a main character. School starts in less than month, we need some extra cards for Sergei’s teachers. He will be in 6th grade already! Wow, where did the time go?

For the layout if my card I stopped at Jen’s blog for her adorable sketch. Thank you, Jennifer for doing it! 🙂

For more great ideas, please, visit SCRS blog – our DT have so many wonderful projects!

That is all for today, thank you so much for looking and leaving your comments! You always bring smile to my heart!

Hugs,

Elena

P.S. Tomorrow I will show a first preview card for  Karber images at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Store. Something cute and fun is going to be released! 🙂

SCRSC #54 – Anything Goes!

Hello to all my faithful and wonderful readers. Thank you so much for taking your time an visiting my blog.

Today I have a card that I made for SCRSC #54. This week it is a Freestyle – anything goes. You can use any stamp form SCRS store, any shape of the card, any colors – all you want. Just have fun and create! 🙂

I used Scooter Chloe – I really like her long scarf. That is why I decided to paper piece it and add dimension to it.

To play along in our challenge, upload a photo of your project and provide a direct link in the linky widget at the bottom of the SCRS post. If you use an online gallery (e.g. Splitcoast), please also use the Keywords SCRSC54 and SparkleCreations(no spaces).

SCRSC #54

Thank you for leaving your comments. So sorry that I am not visiting your blogs as often as I wish I. So much going on in my life lately. I had a little accident with Sergei last Thursday, he fainted and hurt his head. He is doing all right now, he is at home (they ran lots of tests at the hospital); but I was scared so MUCH… On the other side my job is getting so stressful in last couple of days – not as I don’t like my job, I am glad I have it. And I know that I need to pay bills… Today one of the girls was crying because of all that is going on, I was about to cry too… Hopefully things will get better, and will be back to normal commenting routine. Sorry if I didn’t visit your blogs for so long, I didn’t forget about you. 

Hugs to all of you, 

Elena

Sparkle Creations Challenge #53

Hello! This Tuesday we have another challenge for you at Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge blog. And this week it is a color challenge.

SCRSC53

I chose Basic Grey DP with cute little critters on it. Then I inked up Reading Millie and added paper-piecing to her book. I thought it looks kind of fun!

For the layout of my card I followed Card PatternsSketch #125. Sparkle Creations Stamps is the sponsor for this week, and we have a prize for you that you don’t want to miss.

Reading Millie

SCRSC #52 – Favorite stamp

Hello Everybody!

I have a CAS card for you to share which I made for Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge. This week we have a very easy theme – use your favorite SCRS image. I like all the characters Sparkle has in store for us. Fall Charlotte is one of my favorite– I love her charming look, her elegance.

my favorite fall Charlotte

My favorite Fall Charlotte

While I was playing with Charlotte I realize that making CAS is not as easy as it seems to be. I thought that something is missing, that I need to add extra embellishment… After debating with myself, I decided to go head and leave the way it is. And I liked it!

Would you like to join us for this week’s challenge? Please, stop at SCRS blog for more ideas and inspiration. And don’t forget to show us your favorite from Sparkle’s store.

I also wanted to remind you about our special Anniversary Challenge that is on for the whole month. You still have time to play. 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me your comments. Hope you all have a wonderful day,

Elena

 

Tuesday is for Sparkle CreationsChallenge :)

Hello and welcome to my crafting corner!

Thank you so much to all of you who participated in our Anniversary blog hop. We were very happy to see all of you!

Today I have a card for our new challenge at SCRS blog. This week we decided to play with Christmas images. Christmas in July is the theme of this week. It is better to start earlier on your winter cards, this way you won’t be in a rush when time is really getting you. 🙂

I inked up this sweet Caroling Josh. Don’t you just love this boy? His outfit, face expression, and those musical notes  –  everything brings smile to your face.

Would you like to join us this week and add more Christmas card in your stash? For more inspiration, please, stop at SCRS blog – our talented DT Girls have always an eye candy for you.

Thank you so much for looking at my card and leaving your comments. Wishing you all fantastic day,

Elena
