SoSS #272 - C is for Cold

 

Greetings & salutations snaky friends!

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

Poor Edna looks a wee chilly out there without her coat and boots and toque - she is a tough old bird!

We made it through January and February - the clocks spring forward this weekend - can we hope that sunshine and warmer weather are not too far behind?

Is there anything better on a cold day than a warm bevvy?? 

Not for me....while it's true that I am a year round tea granny, in the cooler months I am also known to enjoy a chai latte (I know still tea) or  hot chocolate with a splash of coffee and cream.

I was inspired for this challenge by the November 2025 SCT Let's Stamp Together kit by Spellbinders.

How freaking cute are those mugs and little marshmallows??? 

Yes November kit, I know it's March...I didn't have time to do the class until a few weeks ago...

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 and comments with our reigning Queen of Snark and the rest of the sisterhood.

Jingle Belles - Wrap it Up

 

It's the most wonderful time of the year!! Time to get a head start on 2024 holiday and Christmas cards!!!

The lovely ladies of Jingle Belles are encouraging us to use some wrapping paper or tags on a project.

We  (I) make our own gift labels every year, cuz let's face it, I have a LOT of Christmas paper.

Here's a label that was on one of my gifts this year (actually a recycled tag from last year!!)

And here are the two cards I made using that same paper (and Sharpie) featuring a few dancing characters sent to me by my awesome crafty pal Deena. She is so awesome she even put them together for me. I love the little dancing / swinging legs, but I loathe all the tiny pieces!!!

Entering these cards for JINGLE BELLES - WRAP IT UP

As my lovely crafty pal Jo pointed our, there is a wee bit of gold in each card, the star on the tree and the belt buckle on Santa, I am also entering these into the CHRISTMAS KICKSTART CHALLENGE #82 - THE MIDAS TOUCH

Thanks for stopping by to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers as we celebrate all things retro!!

I attempted retro look along with a few retro crafty supplies.

I have no idea how old are those little plastic dots are, but I have a LOT of them!!

And really - who says hip hip hooray??

Here's a little video of the movement of the card, I am obsessed with the little swinging leg dies from Spellbinders - even with all the teeny tiny parts - my crafty pal Deena would be SOOOO proud of me!!!

SoSS #240 - A is for ATC

 

Greetings and salutations snarky pals, hope that all is well in your corner of the universe.

Edna and the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are back with a new challenge, one of my favourites (I know I say that a lot). I love making ATCs. I make cards more often then coins, but I like em both.

If you've never made one before, an artist trading card is 2.5" x 3.5" and an artist trading coin is a 2.5" circle.

Everything is supposed to fit within that space, so I have cheated a little as the twine and little sign hang off the edges. These will go off in the mail to a few of my fave littles as bookmarks. 

The little hearts are dancers, their legs swing when you tip them back and forth.

Shite I used to make these ATCs:

• White, pink, red, blue and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Dancin' Hearts die set (Spellbinders)
• Sweet Talk design paper (Simple Stories)
• Black Soot Distress Oxide ink (Tim Holtz)
• Mini ink blender (Tim Holtz)
• Pearl sticker (Recollections)
• Twine (The Twinery)

As always, we would love for you to take up the challenge and join the sisterhood!
