Week 4 of our month long sponsor spotlight

Hi everyone!  Welcome to our final week in this month's sponsor spotlight of Sparkle Creations..

Our challenge this month which you can find here is Flowers in Bloom, so projects with flowers on them.  There have been so many great entries!

Here's the info on our sponsor this week...

Yes...Sparkle is my real name. I'm half Hmong and half Chinese. My ethnic names translate to shiny light, hence why my American name is Sparkle.  I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon and graduated from Oregon State University in 2004.  Soon after, I moved to Denver, Colorado. In 2008, I moved back to the Pacific Northwest and am now happily living in Maple Valley, Washington with my husband, Brent.

I have been crafting since I was a child, but seriously crafting since I was 16.  I took a 4 year break while I was away at college, but started right back up again after graduation.  I started as a scrapbooker, though over the years I've turned into a cardmaker and that is mostly what is on my blog.

Brent and I opened our own stamp company, Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps, in July 2010.  We are selling cute and whimsical rubber stamps of darling little boy and girl images.  You can view our online store at: http://www.sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/

Our winner this month will receive 2 great stamps from our sponsor Scooter Chloe  and  Street Corner Josh.  How fun are these to add to your collection!

Here is a little inspiration that I picked for you from the Sparkle blog!

Here's one from our own Kim

and Danielle Lounds from SC

Don't forget to enter the challenge for this final week for your chance to win as well.

Happy Crafting everyone!
