F is for F Words.

 Another two weeks has flown by and we
finally have Summer, I think we missed Spring but my spring flowers are blooming beautifully, and now it's time for a NEW challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

For my F word I went with Funny Feline. 

Staging has never been a strong suit of mine but I put my card on a pile of scraps to show everything on my card even the base was in my scrap/file bucket. The image is a Kaselkraft image I was gifted many moons ago, and the sentiment was also a gift from a different friend when I was at my worst low crafting mojo, hoping it would help my lack of snarky brain power.  I have "loosely" used the current Freshly Made Sketches sketch #535.

I love this sentiment from AAW Printworks it works for any occasion that is once a year, I've even used it for Christmas. More scraps were used, even the vanilla layer for the sentiment I rummaged through the scrap box to find it. 

I am adding this card to:

Freshly Made Sketches ~~ #535

Snippits Playground ~~ Challenge 427

Seize The Birthday ~~ Anything goes.

Thanks for joining me here today and head over to the Main Blog and see what F words the rest of the team have chosen. 

Time for H is for Halloween (in Pink)

 It's our annual nod to breast cancer, this year it's H is for Halloween but in Pink, you need to have pink on your card. It's time to do your annual breast check. 

Ghostly Edna in her pink finery in front of a very haunted house.

I had this Mel Jen's Designs super girl in my image stash and thought what little girl wouldn't like to go trick or treating as a superhero. The image fit the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  The scrap of pink skull paper is left overs from another year's card, Although I do have a set of stamps with that sentiment I typed it out to fit the sketch.

Closer look at the sentiment.

T is for Tea at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

A new challenge is happening for the next two weeks at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and it's T is for Tea. I think that is self explanatory we want to see teacups, teapots, teabags anything to do with TEA. 

Check out the Aweesome graphic Sister Lee has made for us. 

 I only have two images one with a teacup and one with a teapot, so with time ticking along I picked the easier one to colour.

Feeling Rosy with Maxwell, he sure has enjoyed his rose hip tea, look at that face!! I paired this super cute  stamped image with the Freshly Made Sketch from this weeks challenge.  The embossing folder is cherry blossom (cuttlebug) and the patterned paper is very old it's from a Kitchen 12 X 12 pad I bought when we were doing Recipe Card swaps.  Since I'm not sure on the occasion (we all need a few generic cards) I just used Hello as the sentiment.

I just couldn't resist a close-up of Maxwell.

Now the inside is finished but blank, I figured this is a good card to just say Hello or to send as a get well card, Maxwell will bring a smile to anyone's face.

Pink Christmas for the Cure at the Jingle Belles.......take 4

I'm here with another Pink Christmas card for the Jingle Belles Rock challenge, this is #4 and #5 and 6 are in the works, I certainly want to keep up to last year and besides I love pink Christmas cards, I just wish I could find more Christmas paper with pink in it.  I just a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches which right at this moment only has 21 hours left so I best get on with my post.

Since I want to showcase the pink ornament and the snowflake circle so I went with a dark background and it has pink polka dots on it. The background of the ornament and the Merry Christmas are made with shaving cream background...just google it and you will find many videos. 

 The ornament is from Marianne Designs and it s set of two ornaments  and I used a left over piece of glitter paper 

Finished inside of the card.

Shake, Shake, Shake that Snowman Shaker

Happy Monday, what a lovely day here in SWO, the sun is shining and the temperature is supposed to hit the double digits in Celsius. My son stopping in this morning to visit which delayed my errands to the afternoon which gave me the time to create a card for the Jingle Belles Rock challenge. I had printed off a sketch but (good job I checked) it was over so on to the next sketch challenge blog, Freshly Made Sketches which worked better for my card. I used a lot of scraps and an already stamped image so that was a bonus. So keeping up with the two fabulous ladies at the Jingle Belles here is my Christmas card.

I have many shaker card shapes small circles, hearts, squares and a large circle. Only the last one has ever been used, and all but the large circles are over 5 years old. Now the snowman brad is fairly new but the package had never been opened.....so that is two for the NBUS challenge. 

Now look at the cool beads, I found a neat package with 10 tubes of beads in all colours and it was $2.00 at Dollarama.

Finished inside using more scraps.

I had this sweet snow-woman coloured on my table along with the scrap of patterned paper, not only that I had the base and the snowflake layer in my ufo box even the border punch was a scrap on the table.. I quickly put them all together and this is what I cam up with.

The stamp  is one of four from Sunshine designs, the Merry Christmas EH! is from High Hopes

Freshly Made Snowman

Had an update from Freshly Made Sketches saying there was still time to play so I got busy with a super cute snowman that was already sitting on my table begging to be used.  I had already saved the image of the sketch as I had planned to join but as usual other things took priority.  I was planning out a card and picked the patterned paper but when I saw the snowman I decided to use it

This cute snowman is one of a set of 4 from Sunshine Designs, the sentiment on the  banner masked and inked and stamped a few times before it worked.

His scarf and mitts were coloured with a spica glitter pen.

Finished inside of the card using up a few more scraps

Challenge #30 E is for Easter at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

Happy Spring, wow it seemed like a loooooooooooong time coming but days are longer and warmer soon we will be seeing crocuses peeking out of the dirt in the flower beds. Where the snow has slid off the roof there is a three foot pile it will take a while to have that melt.  Back to the challenge at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers since it is only a couple of weeks until Easter our challenge for you is E is for Easter, lets see your Easter creations. I have two cards for you to look at today, the first one I just HAD to follow Freshly Make Sketches Sketch #178 it fit my plans perfect.

This is a fabulous sketch and featured a House Mouse stamp from House Mouse Designs. 

Adorable little guy isn’t he.

Since I haven’t any Easter verses I just used this Hero Arts verse I have had for at least 10 years.

I used the same stamp from House Mouse Designs ( I just bought it) I am not sure where I got the Friend definition from but thought it would be nice to put on a card for one of my very good friends. I used Spellbinders label 8 and decorative labels 8 and a butterfly embossing folder.

Close-up of the Friend definition.
