Hello and Welcome to the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps 1st Anniversary Hop! Not only are we here to help Sparkle celebrate a year of SCRS, but we are also officially releasing 4 new SCRS images this month -- Backpack Oliver, Bookworm Ruby, Hula Lucy and Ukulele Josh.. But wait, there's more.. we are also releasing 2 new Karber Rubber Stamps -- Rainbow Leslie and Reading Millie! They are ALL available in the store now!

We have assembled an all-star lineup consisting of our Current Design Team, DT Alumni and past/present Guest Designers. If you happened here by chance and would like to start from the beginning, the hop begins at the SCRS blog -- please see the complete list below.

What's a hop without prizes? We've hidden TEN single stamp prizes along the way and one lucky winner will win the ENTIRE July release! All you need to do is leave some love at every stop along the hop.. You have until 11:59 PM EST on Sunday to leave comments for a chance to win! Winners will be announced on the SCRS blog on Monday. Good luck to all and Happy Hopping!

Thanks SO much for joining us!

I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday:


I was inspired by the pop of orange in this inspiration photo from Papercraft Star:

For my card I was given Bookworm Ruby to play with.  I decided to make a card for a friend of mine who is a big time reader and in it will be a Chapter's Gift Card.  I have paper pieced her clothing, don't you love the denim skirt (I cut up some of hubby's old jeans).  The paper, flowers and button are Fancy Pants "It's the Little Things"
Now be sure to see what everyone has done, begin at the SCRS blog!

Oh and before I forget SCRS is having a sale so be sure to check out the store!

    wow! what an idea to use a piece of that old jeans to paper piece the skirt. Ingenious!
