Sparkle Creations Blog Hop

This is my second post for today so please scroll down for a couple more cards!

Welcome to the Grand Opening blog hop for Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps!  To start at the beginning of the blog hop, please go to the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.

Today is an exciting day as we're releasing 8 new darling stamps!  And we're giving away a ton of prizes!  One lucky person will win the grand prize of all 8 images.  There are also 5 single stamp prizes hidden, so make sure you comment on everyone's blogs!  You will have until midnight Eastern time to comment and the winners will be announced on the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps blog.

Mercy's sketch this week:

Some inspiration from Etsy Inspired:

For my card I also incorporated the Design Dollies color challenge - orange, green, yellow and white (a bit of pink snuck in there).  I have used Cocktail Emily, isn't she sweet!  This could be used for so many different celebrations and the image is nice and big so it is so fun to color.


Sparkle will be offering free standard shipping for all orders over $25 for the weekend (til midnight EST Sunday), and the code is FREESHIP.  Thank you for stopping by and now it's time to go to Donna's blog!

    OK - now this is my favourite of the whole set - thought it was the scooter but no ------ love the way you've coloured her parasol with so much light in it - it sort of glows.

    Hi Laural! Got your message again that you have been trying to contact me. I have hundreds of messages in my spam file and while browsing didn't see one from you. Didn't even know what name to look for, if it was your name or blog name. Anyway, how about going to my Etsy shop and leaving me a convo? Try that. I don't know why it's so hard to send an e-mail...why it hasn't come to my in box? I check e-mails several times a day. :) Kathy
