Sparkle Creations First Anniversary Release and Hop!


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! 

For my project today, I have used my favorite from this release (although I LOVE them all) Backpack Oliver!  I found these cute little bags at Joanns and thought they would be so fun to decorate for small gifts.  I used some dp from the My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Hattie collection and some fab ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 


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!

    I like this project a lot because I AM a teacher! :) It would be very sweet if I had a student (or a student's mom, hehe) make this for me because time and effort was spent on it. That's such a sweet gesture!

    Like your idea of using it on the small gift bags. Definitely a sweet gesture for the teachers.

    Love this gift bag! It's fabulous! Plus, it would be very appropriate for a male teacher as well as a female. (I have trouble finding little gifts and items for male teachers.)
