It's beginning to look like (PINK) Christmas

 Hello crafty friends! It seems it's been ages since I was able to

make cards that didn't have to do with design team duties or

card kits for my LSS. But yesterday I was able to.

Here's one of them:

 

 

and the inside:

 

 

I've been resisting for as long as I could to switch to this so called

 

'new and improved' Blogger interface. I'm still muddling my way

 

around it so please bear with me. Currently, I'm wondering why

 

Blogger now automatically defaults to double spaced paragraphs, then for no

 

reason, it switches to single space mid paragraph.

 

Ugh.

 

(as I typed that, the first four lines were double spaced, then,

 

all of a sudden, single spaced)

 

Again. Ugh.

 

 Anyone else getting that too? Beuller? *crickets chirping*

LOL! Oh well, anyway, I'm entering this card for a few challenges:

SHOPPING OUR STASH #393 - Chipboard

Hi there crafty peeps and welcome!

It's time for another challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

Donna is your hostess this fortnight and she'd like to see

chipboard on your projects! 

I dug deep into my stash for this card and found some neglected flower

chippies to use:

and the inside:

These flower chippies are from one package. The large flower

already had the glitter on it, as did the green one with the rhinestone. I

just added a bit more Stickles to the two smaller flowers, cuz you

can never have too much sparkle!

I hope you find some time in the next couple weeks to play along

in our Chipboard challenge at Shopping Our Stash! We look forward

to seeing what you create!

Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

Jingle Belles Pink Christmas part 2

Hello and welcome back.

Here is the second card I made for the

Jingle Belles Pink Christmas challenge:

and the inside:

I rediscovered some neglected chippies in my stash and created this adorable card!

The back panel is embossed with snowflakes, then I dabbed pink ink over them

to show them off more. Love how this turned out!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #108 - X is for Xyloid

Hello and happy Saturday!

We are starting a brand new challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

X is for XYLOID!

 

What the hell is that?

It means "something related to wood".

So, we want to see that on your projects! Simple, eh?

Here's my card:

and the inside:

I went through my ancient stash of paper and found this weathered wood

gem, dated 2004, and never cut into...until now!

I also used a die cut woodsy wreath, and a bit of snark for the sentiment.

You could go as far as saying this entire card is made of wood,

because all the paper essentially started life as trees.

(but that excuse won't fly for our challenge, so 

you'd best use something else wood related on your projects

if you want that crown! LOL!)

Ready to play along? Of course you are! Just link up your wood

related project at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers so

we can admire it! Need more inspiration? Simply visit the blogs of my

Sisters, and our newest Queen and Guest Designer, Pink Unicorn,

and while there, leave some love!

Thanks for visiting. Have a great day!

Supplies:

Stamps: Paper Issues - Ahh Real Birthday Sentiments, Freaking Sentiments

Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #100 N is for Naughty Christmas

Would you look at that? It's our 100th challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!!

How fitting that our annual Naughty Christmas challenge 

is the lucky one for this historic event!

That's right, we want to see how crass, how rude, how risque'

you can get with your Christmas cards!

Let your freak flag fly!

(and the swear words too!)

Yes, mine does have swear words in it,

so if you have any little ones about and

don't want them to learn a new bad word,

you should probably send them out of the room now.

Ok, you've been warned.

Here's my card.

It seems rather innocent at first, but....

...then the inside:

This card is extremely CAS for me, and thanks to some alpha stickers and a computer

generated sentiment, it was completed pretty fast too.

So, do you need to make any last minute Christmas cards? Why not

add a rude sentiment, an F-bomb, or a naughty Santa and

link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers?! We'd love

to see what you come up with! For more naughty goodness, do check out

what my Sistahs and our Guest Designer, Sharon, have created

for your viewing pleasure. Heads up: don't be drinking or eating

when reading their cards. Just sayin'

Edna and my Sisters will be taking a much needed break to spend time with our

loved ones, (a.k.a. our favorite alcoholic beverages), but will be back with

 all new challenges starting January 13th.

Until then, I wish you a very Merry Christmas,

and all the best for 2018!

 Hugs!

Of course, I'd like to enter this at the Naughty Or Nice challenge #46

Supplies:

CS: TE; Recollections

Accessories: MAMBI - Dear Santa stickers; computer & printer (rest of sentiment computer generated)

Adhesive: SA by 3L - tape runner

My chipboard item is the JOY word, which came from a MAMBI Christmas

Drunken Stampers #157: Anything Goes

We're bbbaaaaaacccccckkkkkk! LOL! That's right, the  Drunken Stampers are back!! This week we are making it soooooo easy for you all! It's an Anything Goes challenge! Can't get much simpler than that! LOL! 

Here's what I came up with:

and the inside:

Why yes, that IS a crocheted mat made by none other than the fabulous Jessi Fogan, one of my teammates! (You can pay me for the plug later. ☺)  This is a very simple Christmas card. Some DP, the mat, and a chipboard ornament is really all it took! A stamped sentiment on the inside finishes it off! 

Oh, and since I'm using an ornament on this card, I'm going to enter this for the Merry Monday #93: use an ornament. 

So, what are you waiting for? Go get your craft on and enter your card or project on our link! Oh, and don't forget to check out what my teammates did to impress the heck out of you! LOL! 

Thanks for stopping by!
