SoSS Challenge #40: U is for Ugly

Hello Everyone!

It's Challenge #40 over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.  Get ready to dig deep because it is: U is for Ugly...Use the Ugliest Paper in Your Stash.  Find that paper you can't believe you bought.  Oooh, maybe the one that just happened to come in a pack...after all you hoard all your paper, no matter what!  Edna, I guess, is a true paper hoarder.   I'm one too, although I did get rid of a lot at a rummage sale three years ago.

                               

Both sentiments, Happy Birthday 1 and Birthday Voodoo are from Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps.  The Peony Nestibilities set is from Spellbinders.

Challenge #40 ends on Friday, August 21st, at 11:55 pm EDT

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!

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.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Hi All!

I made this card using the Present stamp from the Tim Holtz CMS154 Mini Blueprints 4 Set.  The pink and green pearl-like cardstock was cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities Die-Peony (two largest).  This die is no longer being sold seperately but rather in the Nesties Flower B Nestabilities Set.  I used Waterfall Stickles to highlight circles in the patterned paper.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
