RockStar

School’s starting soon! What better way to ring in the new school year than by celebrating our local teachers? I LOVE these pink, black, and sparkly mini-cards that we made at Spark a Smile last month! What do you think? (Click to enlarge)

Join us next week for our free Spark a Smile party: Wednesday, August 8 from 5-7PM (Yang & Horsley Dentistry, 325 E. Cottonwood Lane). We’ll be making cards for the military, care of Operation Write Home. What an easy and fun way to support our troops! Hope to see you there!

Happy 4th of July!

At Spark A Smile in June, we celebrated the 4th, early! We had a great turnout! Here’s just a sample of the mini cards we created. Aren’t these tiny firecrackers cute? Miss Linda came up with that ingenious design!

Miss Marlene and I collaborated on these – she cut the stars by hand (on the center and right cards), and then used the scraps to make that fun shard pattern on the left card! I added the handwriting.

And finally, Miss Talissa made this cute one on the left. I can’t remember (sorry :)) who designed the flag out of these two patterned papers, but I thought that was totally clever!!

Card-making Podcast

Check out this awesome podcast about card-making! Well, all of the Paperclipping Roundtable episodes are great, but this one specifically has tons of ideas about our Spark A Smile specialty… making cards!
