ATC Around the World #108 - Winter Wonderland

Well 2023, you've been a year!

Maybe I should have guessed that you'd have one more surprise in store for me in the last few days of the year...ta da....another round of COVID for this girl

Bleh

So while I am hanging out by myself in my craft room, thought I would get a head start on my 2024 crafty goal of using some design paper and collections in my stash and made a few ATCs for the latest challenge over at ATC Around the World - Winter Wonderland.

I used the Holly Jolly collection from Simple Stories and some bling and paper (sentiment cut outs) from a SCT sampler (ya I have to use those too!)

I was inspired by my crafty pal Helen's ATC and attempted to draw my own freehand borders...not the worst thing I have ever seen LOL

SoSS Challenge #245 - J is for Jessi

Edna and the sisterhood of snarky stampers are back from our extended break for one more special challenge for 2023.

We hope that you will play along with us in memory of our beloved snarky sister JESSI.

Many of the us knew Jessi from the Drunken Stampers and Shopping Our Stash design teams and of course she was a founding member of the sisterhood.

I picked this card from Jessi's Blog 

If you have a look at her blog, you will see that Jessi was on a number of design teams, played along with a lot of challenges, her art was bright and colourful and she had a way of pulling things together that I could never replicate (without copying her!).

I picked this card because it's a Christmas one and has a very Jessi mish mash of different design papers. 

Here's my take on her card:

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Holiday Dreams design paper (Pinkfresh Studios - November 2023 SCT Sampler)
• Peaceful Christmas Flora ephemera (Carta Bella - November 2023 SCT Sampler)
• Bling (November 2023 SCT Sampler)

We would love for you to join the sisterhood and play along in honour of Jessi.

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SoSS BLOG.

While you are there, please share some crafty love and comments with the rest of the sisterhood.

Cheers to 2024, be back in a few weeks with our first SoSS challenge for 2024!
