SoSS #266 - F is for Finally Fall

 

Seriously, how cool is this Edna graphic that Sister Lee created for us for this challenge???
She truly puts the awesome in our awesomesauce!

Here in Southern Ontario, summer seemed to end all of a sudden-ish and our days of hot humid 30 degree + weather are behind us. YAY!!! I am not going to complain about that, I am all about the fall. Bring on the pumpkin spice and sweater weather!

Over the past few months I have joined a few penpal groups on FB. I really enjoyed swapping letters with people around the world when I was younger and thought this might be a way to boost my crafty mojo as well. By the time you see this, my fall card will be well on it's way to a penpal in the UK. 

Papers, ephemera and sticker from the "My Favorite Fall" collection by Echo Park.

Trying to use up some of the (many) paper collections in my stash!

As always we would love for you to join the sisterhood and play along!

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

Until next time, best wishes, warmest regards...

SoSS #247 - W is for Winter

Greetings & salutations snarky pals!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers:

W is for Winter

I know I say this every year, but this year I am REALLY going to try to use up some of my vast collection of design papers and collections.

I based my cards on a sketch which of course I can't find now to reference, but basically the idea was the three strips of design paper on a layer of coloured paper...and I went from there.

Design paper, frames and tags and ephemera are the Winter Magic Collection from Echo Park, pearl stickers from Michaels.

As always we would love for you to join the sisterhood and play along.
