Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #12: B is for Brads and/or Buttons!

Hi All!
Welcome to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #12: B is for Brads or Buttons!
I really like our Brads; they're pretty awesome!  I didn't feel I had to add any buttons because one of my Brads already was a button...Benjamin Button.  I think that just might be serendipity or very good planning!   ;-)

No snarky card this time.  The butterfly stamp, from Close to My Heart, was stamped twice using Walnut Stain Distress ink.  I fussy cut one image and attached it over the other one.  I  recycled some cardboard by pulling off the top layer and rubbing the same ink over it.  The wooden element is from Um Wow Studio and was covered with Walnut Stain ink.

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #8. "C" is for Crap!

Hello all and welcome to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #8 - "C" is for Crap!  Crap, you know, those things you bought with good intentions to use, but never did.  Or the fantastic items you bought years ago which are now woefully out-of-date.  These are the perfect items to use for our challenge!

I bought Micro Beads years ago to embellish my cards and not just one bag, but quite a few.  I was going to create awesomeness...that is if I had ever used them!

To use the Micro Beads I put wide Scor Tape on a piece of cardboard and ran it through my Cuttlebug using Tim Holtz's Caged Bird Die.  I peeled off the covering, poured the beads over it, and pressed to secure them on the tape.  The Core'dination cardstock background was dry embossed, sanded, and distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The bird was die cut, sanded, and colored with Mustard Seed Distress Ink.  The crown and missing you sentiment stamps are from Tim Holtz.

Dig into your supplies, find something you wonder "Why the heck did I buy this crap", and create.  We'd love to see what you come up with.  You have until Friday, May 30th, at 11:55 pm EDT to enter at SoSS for the coveted title of Queen of Snark!  You know you want to win it!

Father's Day

Hi All!

This card was made with two sets of Tim Holtz stamps: The  Man and the Gears are from Time Travelers by Brett Weldele and the ticket stamp is from the Going Somewhere set.  I stamped the man on patterned paper and fussy cut it.  The patterned paper had a white background on which I used Distress Inks and stamped the gears.  I also distressed the two stickers with ink.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Party in Paris-Drunken Stampers Challenge 154-Place: Paris or Romance

Welcome Everyone!

Drunken Stampers are traveling to Paris this week!  Plenty of wine and chances for romance...well at least the wine.  :)   Challenge 154 is Place: Paris or Something Romantic!

The Eiffel tower was made using a Club Scrap stencil.  The Eiffel Tower brad is from Spare Parts and the ticket stamp is from InvokeArts.  The crystal bling is from Zva Creative, after all it is Paris.  All the Club Scrap cardstock was edged with Peeled Paint Distress Ink and the fibers are from my stash.

Have a little lot of wine, make a project and visit Drunken Stampers!  Make sure to link up your artwork at Drunken Stampers by Friday, December 20th at 11:59pm PST to have the chance to be The Life of the Party!
