Leaping Leprechauns!

The Snarky Sisters are going green!  Challenge 29 is brought to you by the letter "L" as in "L is for Leprechaun!"  

Lucky Edna has found her pot of gold!

My take on this challenge is clean and simple.  I found the free image from The Graphics Fairy and colored it with Distress Markers and water.  I printed out the sentiment on my printer, stamped some four leaf clovers and voila!  

You have two weeks to play in our challenge.  If you are selected as Queen of Snark, you'll get a guest designer spot!  Please check out the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Blog and see what our design team, and our current Queen of Snark, Dana, has created for your inspiration.

Edna says O is for One!

It's that time again!  Time for the next challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.  Edna challenges you to use one color, making a monochrome card.  

Here is what I put together for this challenge.  I found a piece of light blue cardstock that matched Tumbled Glass Distress ink.  The card stock became my foundation for the card.  I then used the Tim Holtz Sizzx die and embossing folder to make this dragonfly.  May I insert my pet peeve here?  Of course I may.  It's my blog.  This die and embossing folder set does not match.  The embossing folder has the antennae of the dragon fly while the die does not.  Even though I had the die, I still wound up fussy cutting the embossed dragonfly so it could have antennae!

Rant over.

I used Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress inks on the dragonfly and its shadow.  Then I found the piece of blue fiber in my ribbon stash.  I had just enough fiber to edge the card with.  It's only taken me seven years to use that fiber up!  

Show us your one color card.  You have two weeks to complete this mission if you choose to accept it.  Link up your entry here.  And please, stop by and visit my fellow snarky stamping sisters to see what they have put together for this challenge.

K is for Kraft

We are ready for the next challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!  Edna is making us use KRAFT paper in our projects.  

Edna didn't know that I had never made a kraft card before. I've used kraft paper in scrapbooking projects, but have never tried to scale it down for a card. I googled some images on the google machine and found some very lovely examples. I also decided that I liked red with my kraft. At the time I was also wearing a brown shirt with red flowers, but this may have been coincidence.   

Here is my card.  I was digging through my stamps and found the sentiment first, then I ran across the image and thought, perfect!  While I was putting this card together, I realized that one of our snarky challenge players had made a card with this sentiment for one of our challenges. I hope you don't mind that I copied you subconsciously! 

Please visit our challenge blog and take a peek at what my sisters have put together for this challenge.   If you like Christmas, this is the perfect time to stop by.

Details about my card: image and sentiment inked with Staz-On Timber Brown, colored with Distress  Marker Red Brick and white charcoal pencil.  

C is for Crap

Welcome to the 8th Challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky of Snarky Stampers.  This challenge is brought to you by the letter "C."  "C" is for Crap, as in, "Why did I buy that Crap?"

All of us have an item or two (or more) that we have bought and then later wondered why we ever bought it in the first place.  Was it on sale?  Were we immersed in the madness of Crafter's Shopping Frenzy?  Or have we held onto it for so long that our tastes have changed?

Here is my crap.  I bought this paper pack online- seven years ago.  It has moved with me three times (from Illinois to Kansas, to Wisconsin, and most recently to Germany) and I have never used any of the paper pack.  

If you know me at all, you know that I ordered the paper pack for the gnomes.  There just weren't enough gnomes.  Why wasn't the gnome on every single piece of paper?  I'm glad that this challenge came up.  I actually made a cute card that is nice.  Now I will have to find someone nice to send it to.

You have until May 30 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time to enter our challenge.  Show us the crap you have purchased and haven't used.  If you have time, visit my snarky sisters at their blogs.  

And if you know any good gnome jokes, feel free to leave them in the comments.  Thanks for stopping by!
