First is this Communion card - the colors and the image is just spectacular!

This card I chose for the earthiness but yet so much detail - the color combination screams "masculinity"!!!

Sponsor Spotlight on Sparkle Creations

Alanna here bringing you this week's sponsor spotlight.

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.  Here's a bit about them.

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 our online store at: http://www.sparklecreationsrubberstamps.com/.

This week's randomly chosen winner will receive Charlotte with Rose and Turntable Josh -- what an awesome prize.  And now for some cards from the DT and some of Sparkle Creations DT using these adorable images.

Welcome to today's new challenge here at Lolllipop Crafts.  With the warm weather here it is all about keeping cool and what better way then with some water...so our theme this week is Making a Splash.  We would love to see some kind of water on your projects....it could be raindrops, puddles, pools, the ocean anything like that!
