SoSS #244 - X is for Xanadu

Greetings and salutations snarky friends.

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

X is for Xanadu

I gotta admit, I was at a loss on this one. When I think Xanadu, I think Olivia Newton John and roller skating...but then I googled the meaning and got this:

Xanadu • \ZAN-uh-doo\ • noun: an idyllic, exotic, or luxurious place

For me, my happy place, is camping. We currently have a travel trailer that is parked at a seasonal site...it has a fridge, microwave, furnace, running water, full bathroom and air conditioning, that's pretty luxurious camping.

I grew up camping in a tent trailer with my family, to me that is the most idyllic way to camp because I have the best memories.

You might notice one consistency in the 3 cards, mosquitoes! Not only are they essential for camping, they are one of the only things I am allergic to...so I am a benadryl camper..lol...never leave home without it!

So here's what I came up with for the challenge:

Shite I used to make these cards:

White cardstock (Recollections)
Camp Happy Bear and Happy Trails collections (Simple Stories)

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.

While you are there, please share some crafty love with our reigning Queen of Snark and the rest of the sisterhood.

This is going to be our last SoSS challenge for 2023.

Edna and the Sisterhood are going to take a much needed (and deserved) break for the next few months.

Shopping Our Stash #440 - Oh The Places We'll Go

Greetings and salutations crafty friends, hope all is well and safe in your corner of the planet!

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from the crew at SHOPPING OUR STASH.

It's been a long year of lockdowns and stay at home orders, we haven't been able to move about and travel perhaps as we usually would or would like to.

For this challenge we want you to show us what you'll be doing or where you'll be going after the pandemic.

Easy peasy for me, as soon as the weather warms up even a little I want to get out camping in our little travel trailer (I might have been checking out spring campsite options this past weekend...shhhhhhhhh).

Camping is my happy place, all day / all night campfires, sitting out under the stars, watching raccoons steal food from other campers, the fresh air...I just love it!!

I grew up camping with my family, every summer you would find us at Algonquin Provincial Park, some of my very best and lifelong friends I met camping! I am definitely a happy camper!

Shite I used to make this card:

White cardstock (Recollections)
Happy Trails design paper (Simple Stories)
Happy Trails combo cardstock stickers (Simple Stories)
Happy Trails bits and pieces (Simple Stories)

As always, we would love for you to join our crew and play along!

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SHOPPING OUR STASH BLOG.

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

SoSS #169 - S is for Slider

Greetings and salutations snarky pals!

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

We are slidin' into fall, cooler weather, all things pumpkin spice and sweater weather...and we want you to join us for S is for Slider.

It's been about a hundred years since I made a slider card, so I had to search out a tutorial...HERE...is the one I used.

Hubby and I have been away camping this past week (I love camping in the fall the best!!) and I think I still have camping on the brain (can't wait to go again the week after Canadian Thanksgiving!!).

Here are the sliders I made for the challenge:
