SoSS #280 - S is for Snow

 

Greetings and salutations snarky pals.

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

If you came here from the SoSS Blog, you will know that we lost a sister this season. 

Our beloved Sister Toni. 

Life has a way sometimes of blowing the snark right out of you.

Please join the sisterhood in sending love and hugs to Toni's family, friends and crafty colleagues.

Has the snow started to fly where you are (or you are lucky enough to live in a snow free zone)??

Me, I can't wait for the snow, I am THAT Canadian that loves snow and winter.

I found a LOT of Tulla and Norbert's Christmas Party paper and chipboard stickers in my stash. I do love Photoplay - but this must have been on sale at some point, I mean I have a LOT.

What it lacks in snark maybe it makes up for in cute??

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

SoSS #277 - A is for Animals

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

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

Our new challenge is A is for Animals and of course we would love for you to join us on this safari!

Sometimes it pays to go through your craft room and try to organize a few things. 

Maybe, just maybe you will come upon a card kit you purchased (goodness knows how long ago) that works perfectly for your hubby's 55th birthday card AND the challenge!

Pretty simple card, but the bearded bear is very 2026 Kevinator. 

Recently he went to a barber for his very first "beard sculpting" in our new town - fancy schmancy!

I thought the bearded bear and the barbershop background paper were a great fit for his birthday this year!

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

SoSS #265 - A is for Alien

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

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

While it might be likely we don't need to depart our planet to find some, for the next month we are looking to the stars (or outerspace) to spot some aliens.

Making cards has not been floating my boat for some time now, you know you get to that place where you just go meh...I don't wanna...well that's where cards and I are right now.

I am however finding great zen, mind peace and distraction in making silly little mini books. I am seriously obsessed. 

These ones started as 6" x 6" pieces of paper and end up as a 1.5" x 1.5" little book. 

The note pages inside are 1.25" x 1.25".

They are so tiny and fun and fiddly and a great way to use up some of my hoards of paper.

I used papers from the "To the Moon & Back" collection by PhotoPlay that has lots of fun little aliens, planets and outerspace themed papers.

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

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

SoSS #260 - G is for Green

 

Greetings and salutations snarky friends!

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

Before we roll on to the challenge, is Edna not giving you total Wicked & Elphaba vibes??

I am a huge fan of the book series and play (haven't seen the movie...yet)

Our challenge theme for the month is G is for Green

My go to for green this time of year is usually a combo anniversary and St Patrick's Day (we got married on March 17). 

Not sure if the Kevinator will get this one as an anniversary card or not??

I haven't been overly snarky the last few challenges, so I broke into my Tim Holtz snarky sentiment stickers to make my gnome a little naughtier.

Here's what I made for the challenge using the Tulla and Norbert's Lucky Charm collection from PhotoPlay.

This fun fold is a direct CASE of a super cool birthday card I received from my crafty friend Donna

(fun fact, we both call each other the "other Donna" lol).

Here is the card she made for me

Yep, mine was pretty much a directly copy of hers with different papers and a snarkier gnome, so thanks Donna for the inspiration!!

As always we would love for you to join the sisterhood and get your green on!

SoSS #255 H is for Halloween

 

Greetings and salutations crafty pals!

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

With October upon us, it's time to celebrate all things Halloween!

As is it also Breast Cancer Awareness month, we like to throw in the option of pink as well.

I have a plethora of Halloween design paper - like more than Christmas, I can't stop collecting (haha) Halloween paper! So in an effort to use up some of my stash (and do some crafting at the trailer that didn't require my entire craft room) I made some mini albums.

I started with THIS TUTORIAL and a few empty bear paw boxes (yes I eat like a 2 year old)

Each mini album has 12 pages, I made a few pages with pockets and journalling cards, left some for pictures or whatever. These were super fun to make - now to figure out what to do with them lol

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

Best wishes and warmest regards crafty friends!

Up WAY too early with the time change this morning (weird) and thought I would make a few cards.

Made a few (ok 5) cards for Shopping Our Stash #516 - It's Not Easy Being Green.

I do send out some St. Patrick's Day cards, I married into an Irish family and I got married on St. Patrick's Day - so Kevinator always gets a card with some lucky sharmocks!

I used the Tulla & Norbert's Lucky Charm collection by PhotoPlay for these cards.

SoSS #211 - W is for Wicked

 

Greetings and wicked salutations snarky friends!!

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

Edna is for sure channelling her inner Elphaba for this challenge - W is for Wicked

I love all things Halloweeny, so I was super excited to use the Gnome for the Holidays - Halloween collection by PhotoPlay for this one.

My sentiment is a combo of a cut up graphicat designs stamp and a Halloween stamp set my mum picked up for me from Michaels (yay Mum!!) - I swapped out the "bad" for "wicked"

I had to glam up her shoes a bit to match the sentiment, so I gave her gold stickled shoes...I know they should have been red, but red with orange hair...I just couldn't do that to her!

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Gnome for the Holidays - Halloween design paper (PhotoPlay)
• Bad Witch stamp (Graphicat Designs)
• Halloween stamp set (Michaels)
• Tuxedo Black ink (Memento)
• Golden Rod stickles (Ranger)

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