SOSS #21 P is for Profanity: Swear if You Dare

Hi, and welcome to the 21st Challenge of the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!  Well since we're all grown up at 21, maybe you'll hear a few swear words out of us during this challenge.

Did you notice Edna?  She's trying to be good...but it's pretty difficult for her to hold back so that's where the duct tape comes into play.

Stella likes duct tape too...especially when she wraps it around Gus!  Gus isn't too happy, in fact he's thinking WTF!  Since he can't talk, I decided to write it for him.  I don't think it's going to help, Stella's pretty set on keeping Gus wrapped up.  A digi stamp (from Bugaboo) about duct tape deserves to be placed on a roll of duct tape.  A great gift and card together!

Make sure you visit all the other sisters and check out if they dared to swear in our Challenge #21~P is for Profanity.  You have until Friday, November 28th to link up your artwork!  Do you dare to swear?

BTW, when you spill water on your keyboard, your computer doesn't work the same.  With all caps, no delete, no return, no letter P, and who knows what else I couldn't finish my post there.  Do you know the view in iPad doesn't let you scroll down all the way and add stuff past a certain point!  I did swear, a bit.  This morning, hopeful everything dried out I turned on my computer.  It's now in Safe Boot mode and wants my password...no problem.....NOT!  The password is case sensitive...S. H. I. T.
A tad bit more profanity was used.  I won't bother sharing, I think you can guess what else was said!

Challenge #21 ends on Friday, November 29 at 11:55 pm EDT

We'd love to see what you create so link-up your project at SoSS.    

You'll have a chance to win the auspicious title of Queen or Princess of Snark!    

You know you want to win it!  If you're our Queen, you can be our Guest Designer!

Wine: Doctor's Orders

Hi All!

I don't always follow my doctor's orders, but this is an easy one!  I just need to find a glass that big!  The image is Glass of Wine a Day from Bugaboo and was colored with Copics.  The sentiment was printed in the free font, Smilage and it's background was created in Pages.  The embossing folder is Fabric Weave from the Celebra'tions line at Spellbinders.  I just love this embossing folder...it looks so rich!

I just love the Springy Sheep image from Bugaboo's Scene it - Happy Spring to Ewe.  I printed the Springy Sheep image on X-Press paper and colored them with Copics.  The flowers, bumblebee and butterfly where highlighted with a Clear Glitter Spica pen.  It's difficult to photograph the cool Shimmer effect! The patterned paper is Daphane's Closet - Petite from Lawn Fawn.   I added a ribbon and a frog eyelet from Eyelet Outlet since frogs are very Springy in Spring.  The creek near my house is full of Springy Spring Frogs who are Serenading me every night.  I love it!  The Springy Sheep are enjoying, or at least I think so, their Springtime fun.  I hope you are enjoying your Spring!

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #7, "Y" is for Your Mama

Hi All! 

Welcome to Challenge #7 at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!  It's "Y" is for Your Mama-Make a Mother's Day card. 

 

I made two cards for the "Y" is for Your Mama Challenge.  The first is snarky using the Glass of Wine a Day image from Bugaboo and patterned paper from Daphane's Closet Petite from Lawn Fawn.  The free font for the saying is Fontdinerdotcom Loungy.  I printed the image on X-Press paper and colored it with Copics.

This card is my non-snarky card.  The woman stamp from Viva Las Vegas Stamps!  I don't know the name of it.  The cardstock is from Club Scrap, the bling from Prima, and the saying was printed using the free font Summertime.  I stamped the woman on X-Press paper, colored her with Copics, and fussy cut. The tissue tape is from my stash.

Visit the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for all the details and check out the awesome artwork the rest of the DT has created!

Appreciation Card for Stickles Linky Party

Sentiment ^ inside the card

Welcome to the Stickles Linky Party-Appreciation!

Hi All!
My card uses an image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, one of our generous August Sponsors.  I loved the free one I received for August and had to go to their site and buy some!  The digital stamp is JJ Block-Bras Are Like Friends.  The image was printed on X-Press paper and colored with Copic Markers!  I embellished the card with Stickles in the following colors: Glam Pink, Firefly, Black Diamond and Crystal.

I paper shaped the hair that I fussy cut and enlarged the chest area of the teddy.  Glossy Accents were used to highlight the lens of the glasses.

I diecut two of the smallest dies of the Spellbinder Nestabilities-Poppy.  The individual one is no longer being sold.  It is being sold in a four pack Nesties Flower B.  I searched for my individual poppy die online and found one for a reasonable price! Yea!  I covered the flowers with Firefly and Glam Pink by spreading the Stickles with my finger.

I also used polka dotted washi tape. The cardstock is from my stash.

Hi!
So many blogs were writing about Christmas in July, so I decided to join in a few of the card challenges.  The stamp is the Merry Christmas Tree from Bugaboo Stamps.  I used a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder from the Winter Wonderland Set and Christmas Red Stickles for the ornaments. The stars, Merry Christmas, and garland were accented with a Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen.
