Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Saundra ~ Card

Hi there! Saundra here from Luv Scrapping Together!
 
Today I thought I would share a card that goes along with the current challenge here on Pumpkin Spice.
 
The theme this week is to color.
 
 
I do enjoy coloring with my Copic markers so I went in search of this cute image from Penny Black. She is from the Mimi Halloween stamp set. There are several cute dressed up kids in this set and they are all fun to color.
 
After I colored her I got out my Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor papers and used sever patterns. I distressed them all with my distress tool.
 
I used a cloud background stamp that I stamped with some grey ink on the patterned paper. I added some Halloween baker's twine and a button and this simple card was complete.
 
You still have time to join in the challenge this week. You can find all the details HERE.

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Agnes - Thank You Card



welcome to another daily inspiration post here at the pumpkin spice blog
this is me agnes from flowerdisco's scrap hut
and
we are happy you stopped by.


i made this Thank You card for today.
it is a meaningful card to me because i am saying a sweet "good bye", "see you soon", "until later" to a few things today.
anyway, i hope you find my card worthy enough of my "see u soon" and around, hehe.

for this card patterned papers i used the darling cosmo criket "earth love". i love the colors in it. the sweet girl chipboard is from crate paper "pretty party collection" and last the stamp sticker, showcasing my card's sentiment, is from carta bella's "family traditions" collection.


once again, "Thank You" so much.
-best wishes to you all-

Today's Daily SPS Inspiration with Court - Card

Good Sunday morning to you!!! Court from Court's Crafts here!!!

This week at Shop Pumpkin Spice the challenge is coloring.... let's just say Courtney wasn't made to color. I tried really hard on this one! So please participate in the challenge and if you are a terrible color-er then I would especially love it - I'll be in good company! :) 

I made this for one of my Godchildren. I wanted it to be totally non-spooky and fun! 

Well, Denine (the owner) of Shop Pumpkin Spice was my first sponsor. I called her because a big online store told me they had a stamp set that I needed for a DT project. I ordered it. And two weeks later they emailed to say it wasn't in stock (my project was due 5 days later.). eek! I called the number for Shop Pumpkin Spice (by the way, it's her CELL PHONE. She's a one woman show - but how many store owners list their cell!?!). Anyway she had the stamp set, I explained what was going on, and she went to the post office and put it in the mail that day. We've been fast friends ever since.

I will miss Shop Pumpkin Spice a lot but it is time for me to slow down a little bit and take care of baby #2 which is in my belly! With purchasing a foreclosure (a LOT of work) and flying over once a month every month this year, it has been busy - but for ALL good reasons and I feel sooo blessed that these are the reasons I am worn out! Anyhow, you will still see me linking and supporting Shop Pumpkin Spice because a: I LOVE supporting small business. b: I love supporting Denine and appreciate what she does behind the scenes to run a business literally all by herself and c: because I LOVE that design team. They will be friends for life. 

Please stop by her store and check it out and see if there is anything on your wish list! Her prices are fabulous! The link is HERE.
