SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #114 - C is for Coloring

Well hello there snarky peeps and welcome!

We have a fun challenge starting today at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS:

C is for Coloring!

As always, snark is not necessary (but you know you want to add some in! LOL!).

Here's what I came up with:

 

A pretty cluster of flowers and a snarky sentiment always go together well, imho.

And look, the flowers were Winked!:

So now it's your turn. Just color something on your project and link up at the

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. We'd love to see what you come up with!

Big Birthday Wishes

Hi there and welcome, crafty peeps!

I recently came back from a two week vacation, got sick at the back end

of it, and am finally getting back to my beloved craft room.

I broke out my Spectrum Noir markers for this

cute image:

here's the inside:

 

The sketch I used had a round element in the top corner, so I thought, the way

this little miss is positioned, it looks as if she just let go of a balloon, so that's

how I interpreted it. 🙂

That's all for now. Going to walk my fur baby now.

Enjoy your day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #362 - Feed Me

 Hello and welcome!

There's a fun new challenge starting today at

Here's what I came up with:

I shopped my stash for this stamp. I think I bought it on clearance at least 5 years ago

and I think this may be the first time using it.

All I did was color the birdie, and used some free cheesecake clip art to add to

the main panel. Easy peasy!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #361 - Geometric Patterns

Hello hello!

Happy Tuesday to you.

This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we are

looking for geometric patterns on your projects!

 

 Here's what I came up with:

and the inside:

I came across this neglected chicken wire embossing folder and thought, hey, that

looks like hexagons! And so I ran with it.

Sorry for the busy background. I usually snap my pics on the set up I have on the 

dining room table, but we just came back from vacation late Sunday,

 and currently the dining room table is

still dump central until I can get everything put away again.

(and now you know I decorated my side table with fairies and minions. Why? Why not!)

Now it's your turn to get geometric! We'd love to see your entry in the 

Shopping Our Stash gallery! Need more ideas? Simply visit the blogs of my

teammies to see what they came up with.

Thanks for visiting!

I hope my Canadian friends enjoyed their Canada Day on Sunday, and wish

my American friends a happy Independence Day tomorrow!

 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #113 - O is for Over the Hill

Hello and welcome snarky peeps!

It's time for another challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

Let's see your Over The Hill projects!

Here's my card:

and the inside:

The skeleton was stenciled onto my card panel, then I stamped

the sentiment. This started out as white card stock, but I

aged and grunged it up using some Distress Inks and a texture stamp.

Ready to play along? Of course you are! Just create something

relating to Over the Hill, and link up at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers 

so that we can admire it! For more ideas, do check out what my Sisters 

have made to inspire you!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #360 - Red, White, and Blue

 Hello crafty friends!

With the upcoming big Summer holidays approaching

in both the United States and Canada, the

gals at SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge you to

use Red & White, or Red, White & Blue on your projects.

 Here's my card:

and the inside:

A US flag stamped with a paw print and a wee li'l doggie? YES PLEASE!

It's not perfect, but given the fact that I eyeballed every. single. stamped. image, and 

didn't use any help from my MISTI, I'm calling this a win. It also might have

been a bit easier to stamp first then cut the panels to size, not the

other way around like I did. LOL! 

I hope that you find some time to join in our Red, White & Blue challenge at

Shopping Our Stash! We'd love to see your take on the challenge. In need of

more ideas? Just visit the blogs of my teammies to see their amazing creations!

Thanks for visiting.

I hope all who are celebrating enjoy a happy Independence Day and 

Canada Day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #359 - She's a Craftin' Machine!

Happy Tuesday to you!

We have a fun new challenge starting today at

SHOPPING OUR STASH: She's a Craftin' Machine!

Let's see what you can create with your die cutters, sewing machines, Xyrons, etc!

Here's what I came up with:

I've had that circle cover plate for over a year, and I think this may

be the first time I've used it. NBUS!

Underneath it, I used some ancient Basic Grey paper. The happy birthday 

was die cut three times, twice in white card stock, then the yellow

polka dot paper, stacked and glued.

Now it's your turn to use your machines and create something fun! Don't

forget to link up at Shopping Our Stash so that we can see it!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #112 - Q is for Quote

Good Saturday morning to you!

It's time for another challenge at the 

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

This fortnight is brought to you by the letter Q,

as in Q for QUOTE!

I happily found this stamp quote in my stash, and got to work creating this 

somewhat CAS card:

The books were colored then fussy cut. I popped them

onto the card base with foam squares after lightly sponging some ink 

through a stencil in the bottom corner. Stamped

the sentiment, rounded a corner, and called it a day! LOL!

 I hope you get the chance to create something using a quote. We'd love

to see what you created at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

Guest Designer, Pirjo, have created for your viewing pleasure!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #358 - Summer Color Pallet

Hello friends and welcome!

Today starts a new challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

Yours truly is hosting, and I've picked

a Summer Color Pallet for you to design with: 

Here's what I came up with:

I thought the colors would work for a male themed birthday card.

For some reason, the dark blue seemed much darker when 

viewed from my laptop (which is in my craft room) than on the PC. 

Oh well. I also found that striped paper that had the orange/rust colors

already on it. Bonus!

Ready to play along? Of course you are! Be sure to link up your

project at Shopping Our Stash so we can admire it! For even more

ideas, simply visit the blogs of my teammies to see what they created!

Thanks for visiting!

(Yes, this is a crappy picture of us. I took off my hat and look, hat head! LOL!
