Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - N is for...

....eeeeeeeek it's here!!!

Now of course the Sisterhood knows naughty is in the eye of the beholder - and we've got a whole range of uh oh, don't send that to Granny :) Mine has a rude word (shocker!)

***********Profanity Warning!!!*************

Supplies: image from Tiddly Inks; papers from Lily Bee designs; Spectrum Noir markers; Dress it Up light charms; Lil Inkers stitched dies; Sakura Stardust glitter pen; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

Naughty Christmas cards are some of my very favourites to make, because they are just so unexpected - especially when you pair a cute or pretty image with the rude :)

Shopping our Stash #229 - No Stamping?? TWO WEEK CHALLENGE!

With Thanksgiving this week in the United States, we have a two-week challenge for you at Shopping our Stash - lots of time to link up. We want to see you create without stamping - and that includes no digital stamps (mwahahahaha). It's easier than you think!

Supplies: Papers from Simple Stories; holly leaves & brad from Making Memories; Tim Holtz design ruler & embroidery supplies

The most challenging part for me was not to stamp a sentiment - several times I *almost* had a card for this and then whoops. Stamped sentiments count too. 

I love these holly leaves & the single brad with three berries - they've been kicking around my stash for a few years. This year I have found zero embellishments for Christmas - I did find bells at the dollar store, but otherwise? No packages of die cuts. No little assortments of odds & ends. Mind you, I'm talking just about brick & mortar stores, but still, NADA. I've been relying heavily on stitching and buttons and sparkle - and stash - but I am frustrated because I'd like to shop locally (which for me is an hour drive in one direction, 45 minutes in the other for the two craft stores nearby).  Harumph. 

OK, ok, rant over! Go see what the rest of the crew came up with:

And you have until Monday November 30 to come play!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #328 - Sami Stamps!

Good morning! I know it's been awfully quiet here - every week I keep thinking "I'll definitely catch up!" but so far....notsomuch. I'm optimistic about January though, folks!

This week at Tuesday Morning Sketches we have the fabulous Sami Stamps back as our sponsor - and Sami generously provided us with her sweet images to play with!

Supplies: Frosty Stars from Sami Stamps; papers from MME; Spectrum Noir markers; Dress it Up buttons; Diamond stickles and Liquid Pearls

Debbie's sketch is perfect for using those strips of paper left over when you're using 6" pads - it took me longer to decide on the papers than to do anything else!

This challenge will be open until next Sunday, November 29 - hop on over & see what the rest of the team has made!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #325 - Deedee's Digis!

Good morning! I thought the sketch this week for Tuesday Morning Sketches was perfect for one of these long sentiments. You'll definitely want to play along for a chance to win digis from Deedee's Digis!

Supplies: stamps from PTI; Chipped Sapphire distress ink; versamark & clear EP; classic small & scalloped Nesties; twine & button

Once again I've used Becca's Distress Ink dipping technique, and then generational stamping for the snowflakes so they didn't overwhelm (but still matched). I also sponged the edges of all the panels. 

Here's the sketch by Debbie:
