SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #252 - L is for Sister Lindsey

Hello and welcome snarky friends!

This month the Sisterhood is paying tribute to our dear friend and

snarky sister, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who lost her battle

to a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer on July 21, 2022.

It's been two years and the Sisters still and always will

miss her terribly. As an homage to her, the 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

 invite you to create 

something that was inspired by Lindsey.

You can visit her blog for all kinds of inspiration.

(Just be sure to let us know what it was that inspired you,

as it may not be obvious.)

Those who knew her knew of her great love of cats, and punny

sentiments. I've combined both using

a never before used stamp set that I bought two years ago:

This is my artistic take on Lindsey's cat, Duncan. He looks

very dashing in his party hat. (Even though it's pink!)

A simple sentiment finishes the inside:

We hope that you find some time this month to help the sisters

celebrate our sister Lindsey at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Please do yourself a favor and visit the blogs of my sisters

and our reigning Queen, Rosi, to see their projects.

Thanks for visiting. I hope that you have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #231 - B is for Bunny

 

Well hubba hubba Edna! LOL!

Thank you, Sister Lee, for yet another fabulous graphic!

Hello and welcome snarky peeps! Yes, it's time for the

new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight, we want to see a bunny or more on

your projects! Here's my offering:

I've had this stamp for at least 3 years and I think I've only used

it once, so I felt compelled to break it out again. 😁

I found the perfect paper to use as my background,

just covered in bunnies. (Well, you know what they

say about bunnies! LOL!)

What did one chocolate bunny say to the other?

I hope that you find some time to play along in our bunny challenge at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more ideas, please do yourself

a favor and visit the blogs of my sisters and our reigning Queen,

Darnell, to see what fabulous projects they came up with!

A Tiny Craft (ATC) August Challenge - An Ode to Lindsey

 Hello and welcome friends!

As you may have already heard, the crafting community lost a

creative soul the end of last month. Our very own

Lindsey, lost her courageous battle with cancer.

In honor of our friend and teammate, we at

A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge invite you to

visit Lindsey's blog and create an Artist Trading Card or Coin, 

inspired by a project that Lindsey made.

When looking back over her blog, I immediately knew that

I was going to CASE these artist trading cards that she made back

in February. Here is a photo of Lindsey's ATC's:

Here are the ATC's I created:

I had this cactus plant stamp set that was the perfect size for my ATC's.

Lindsey had a die that she cut the notebook page from, using watercolor paper. 

She then water colored her images. I used a border punch then used a stitched border die

 along the edge. I stamped and colored the images with my Spectrum Noir markers,

then die cut them and adhered with foam squares.

I shopped my stash for various bling to finish the cards.

Lindsey was a master at the CAS style (clean and simple), so this was

kind of hard for me to recreate, as I love to throw almost 

everything but the kitchen sink onto my projects.

Here are some close ups:

I do hope that you find some time to peruse Lindsey's blog

and create something that was inspired by one for her

amazing projects. We'd love to see what you create

linked up at A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge.

Thank you for visiting. I hope that you have a good day.

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #203 - J is for Judgemental

 

The face of ultimate judgement: Edna!

Hello and welcome back snarky friends!

With the state of the world these days, it seems like many

of us are feeling a wee bit judgy, so why not embrace it?!

For the next two weeks, we are getting all judgemental at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

Here's my take:

Who judges anything and everything better than a cat? I love

this stamp set from Katzelkraft and knew right away I

was going to use one of the images for my project. I 

used my computer to print the sentiment, and with

the help of Tuesday Morning Sketches #640, (now ended)

it was easy to put this together.

I hope that you'll be able to join us this fortnight at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers in our Judgemental challenge!

and our reigning Queen, Cathy have created to enlighten you!

....or in my case, a cup of tea. 😄

Which happens to be the new challenge prompt at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

Lets see your coffee or tea themed projects!

Here's what I came up with:

 Over the holiday break, I did some cleaning up and re-organizing in my

craft room, and in the process, re-discovered these tea cup and tea bag 

'handle' dies in my stash. Perfect for this challenge! I paired them with 

a sentiment that was inked for the first time. 

I hope that you find some time to join in our coffee/tea

themed challenge at Shopping Our Stash!

Feeling beachy

Hi there crafty peeps!

I have a card to share that really has me thinking about

warm weather and going to the ocean:

Here's the inside:

Can you just hear the ocean gently lapping up on the shore

and feel the warm sun on your face? Ahhhhh!

I'll leave you with that lovely image.

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #153 - C is for Cats

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

I'm the hostess this time around at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS,

and wouldn't you know, it's a CAT challenge!

How ironic is that, being I'm very pro-doggies. 

Sometimes though, I think I was a cat in another

lifetime, as, like they tolerate humans, I 

tolerate them. LOL!

Anyway, here's the card I made:

I think the sentiment and this kitty's action pretty much says it all, don't you?

I'm hoping that the DP I used makes you think of wallpaper, 

because that's the look I was going for here.

I hope that you find some time to play along in our Cats challenge

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. Need more ideas? Do check out

what my Sistahs created for your viewing pleasure. You won't be

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #146 - P is for Pink Halloween!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today starts our annual

PINK HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE

at the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

Why pink Halloween? Because it's a fun holiday, plus Edna and

the Sisters want to remind you that it's

Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

So check your ta-tas, or better yet, have your

significant other check for you!  (Wink!)

The challenge is pretty simple: create a Halloween themed project using

the color pink predominately on it. Here's my card:

and the inside:

Creepy cute zombies? Yes please! 

And, because I wanted to, I made another card:

here's the inside:

I've had this digi stamp for a few years and only got around to coloring it

up now. It's hard to tell in the picture, but all the eyes got a coating of

Nuvo glitter drops for some sparkle.

Now it's your turn. We'd love to see your Pink Halloween creations linked up

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! For more Halloween goodness,

do check out what my Sisters and our reigning Queen, Laura, have
