SoSS: Challenge #26-Snarker's Choice (We're One Year Old!)


Edna is one year old!  Well, Edna is obviously older than one...a lot, lot older than one!  It's the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers...we're celebrating our 1st Birthday!   We want you to get into the fun!  We've had 25 challenges in our first year and you get to pick the one you like for your entry!  Challenge #26 is Snarker's Choice.  Check out Sister Lee's special post with all the previous challenges.
My card actually fits two challenges, #20 - T is for Thanks and #14 - Z is for Zoo. 


I've seen this saying before and knew I had to find a picture for it.  I searched Google images for Octopus on Face and this was the one I had to have.  It was perfect!  It's Kelly R's photo at https://www.flickr.com/photos/sfkelly/28515380/   Check the inside for the rest of the saying and my added sentiment.  I used the free font - LD Farfetched.


I embossed the black cardstock with a Darice folder - Basketweave Background.  The glitter paper behind the saying is all I could let go of this fun paper from DCWV.  I tend to hoard my Designer paper a bit.  I've had this paper for well over a year...I truly have a problem.


We're celebrating so lets have some Blog Candy!  I'm offering everyone three chances.  Please comment for each.  
1. Follow of my blog.  2. Comment on the post...you could tell me your favorite octopus story (or leave some love).  3. Enter a card in Challenge #26 -  Snarker's Choice.  Ooooooh, I'll give you another chance.  4. Display the snarky SoSS blog badge on your blog and link it back to me.

You have until Friday February 6th to enter.  I will pick the winner and announce it the week of the 8th.

Edna says she'll pick a random winner the old fashioned way...names on scratch paper, put in a box.  Of course, she'll make me write all the names.  I'm going to try to convince her to just writing the numbers, but you know Edna (or maybe you don't),  she can be quite persnickety!   She hasn't even decided on the blog candy, but I'll make sure she does.

Challenge #26 ends on Friday, February 6 at 11:55 pm EDT
We'd love to see what you create so link-up your project at SoSS.    

Here's your chance to win the one and only 1st Birthday title of Queen or Princess of Snark!    
If you're our Queen, you can be our Guest Designer Sister.

Ornament Christmas Card


 Hi All!

I'm trying to make my Christmas cards a bit at a time this year.   This year they were done so late I felt embarrassed to send them.  Now I just hope I don't lose the cards I make early...It definitely could and probably will happen!  Let's just say my organization is very creative and makes great sense at the time.  Later...not so much.


I made this card using Fun Stampers Journey products.  I stamped the ornament in Green Olive on Oatmeal Cookie CS and fussy cut it. The sentiment was stamped in Butter Cream.  You can order any of these products on my site: funstampersjourney.com/karens

SoSS Challenge #25 W is for WOW, It's Cold!


Hi Everybody!

Edna (Nanook of the North) is here with the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #25-W is for Wow, It's Cold!   She definitely is dressed for the frigid, snowy weather many of us have been dealing with.   Since it's been so cold, I should have had a lot of winter snarkiness, but no.  My snarkiness mojo seems to be missing right now.  I'm already frustrated with winter...and winter in Wisconsin has a long, long way to go.


My candy holder was made for a friend and filled with chocolates.   I love the snowman...he is so cute.  Everything used is from Fun Stampers Journey.  The holder is two Tagged Pockets with part of the bottoms cut off and attached.



Challenge #25 ends on Friday, January 24th at 11:55 pm EDT
