SoSS Challenge # 39: S is for Shaker

Welcome to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge # 39: S is for Shaker! This one was a real challenge for me. I had never made a shaker card before and wasn't sure what I was doing. It might have been easier if I found the foam tape I bought years ago when shaker cards were first popular. I made this shaker by die-cutting and stacking a lot of hearts. Gluing each layer was one thing, lining up the ampersand cardstock another, but gluing the acetate was insane. I kept getting glue on the acetate...five tries before I didn't mess it up too much. But after all of this, I'm betting once I find my foam tape, I'll try making a shaker card again.

I made this card for a friend's wedding based on her colors of pink, green and silver. I decided to made the heart green so it would pop. All of the products are from Fun Stampers Journey and you can get them on my site:

Watch Templeton Fly!! SoSS Challenge # 38 ~ R is for Rude

Hello All!
It's a new challenge for us, over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers ~ Challenge #38: R is for Rude or AKA, The New Profanity Challenge.

Check out Edna...her mouth is closed, but look what she's thinking! If you don't use profanity, here's your chance to share some of the thoughts you'd might like to scream at times. Your creation can be just rude to allover profane...you choose!

I had a little trouble with this challenge...there was this perfect stamp I had and I just couldn't find it! #$$@@##$%%@$%&$#&@#$#$!!!!

While digging through my bazillion stamps I came upon this one, by Gary Patterson, from a long, long, time ago. I feel it works when I add a little narration. The free font I used is Junior and Stinky.
