SHOPPING OUR STASH #411 Gnome Sweet Gnome

Hello and welcome!

It's time for our first challenge of the new year at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

The SOS Crew is rested from their holiday break and 

raring to go. For this challenge, Gnome Sweet Gnome, 

we want to see a gnome on your projects. It doesn't necessarily

need to be holiday themed, as there are garden gnomes too!

I used a rather newish gnome die that I got last month.

(Hey, it was last year, and also last decade, so I'm gonna 

say this die is pretty old. That's my story and I'm 

sticking with it. LOL!)

Here's the inside:

My card design is based off of the sketch from Inspire Create #59, 

The background paper came with the kit as did the stamps.

I used some of the snowflake stamps to create the gray oval

panel behind the gnome.

Since I made a few gnomes, I was determined to make more cards:

 

and the inside:

 

This one is based from Freshly Made Sketch #416.

On the inside sentiment, I used a red marker to

color in the word Christmas.

Here's the last one:

 

..the inside:

 

I love a good pun!

 

This card is based from Sketch Saturday #290. Again, I colored the

word Christmas with a red marker. I adore this wee little gnome. I think

I want to try making him into a garden gnome and create some birthday

cards with him. 

So now it's your turn to play along! We hope to see your gnome projects

linked up in the Shopping Our Stash gallery. For more ideas, do

check out what my teammies created for your viewing pleasure!

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #409 - So Thankful

Good morning and happy Tuesday to you.

It's time for the next challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH,  

and we are looking for your thankful projects, which could be

a thank you project, or something to do with the upcoming

 Thanksgiving holiday.

I went with the latter for my card:

I was playing with the Gina K. wreath builder template again and created this

fun Autumn wreath. (Pay no attention to the fact that I stamped the 

sentiment a bit off from the circle, even using my MISTI. Sigh.)

I used ink colors that corresponded with the plaid paper.

I hope that you have a chance to play along this fortnight at

Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see your take on the

challenge in our gallery. Looking for more inspiration? Do check out

the fabulous creations that my teammies made!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #148 - Q is for Quip

Hello and welcome!

It's time again for the next challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS! 

 This time around it's Q is for Quip!

According to the dictionary, a quip is a clever or witty remark or comment.

Could this challenge BE more perfect for the Sisterhood?!! LOL!

 Here's what I came up with:

...and the zinger on the inside:

 

When you visit the main blog, you'll notice that a few of the Sisters

used similar stamps on their cards, me among them.

Sister Donna loaded her card first. Apparently Sister Barbara had plans to

use the same stamps, so she commented that she guessed she wouldn't be

using it. Donna came back to say to go ahead and use it. I piped in saying it

would be funny if we all used the same stamps. Donna gave a big thumbs up,

so....challenge accepted! LOL!

Since I had enough paper for a second card, I made another one:

Now it's your turn to break out those witty, sarcastic sentiment stamps and

create something with them! We'd love to see what you made linked up

at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers blog. For more cheeky projects,

do check out what my Sistahs, and our reigning Queen, Lauren, have made

for your viewing pleasure. You may not want to be drinking or eating

whilst reading them, just sayin!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
