*R* is for Remember!

Hi Peeps! Ready for the weekend?

I always love our challenges at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, but I must admit that I had a hard time creating something this time 😕

 *R* is for Remember!

Well, I used an A Capella stamp and a sentiment from Dylusions for my tag. Some stenciling on the background and a stamp from Viva LasVegasStamps finished it off.

Please check all the beautiful creations from my Sistahs ♥

Challenge #82 at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

Our new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers:

ELEGANT

I must admit I had a hard time making something elegant, so I decided to go for the legs and funky shoes ... 

Please check out all the lovely creations by my sisters, they did such a great job with this theme :)

Happy Crafting ♥

Green with Envy!

Please don't ask how we come up with all our hilarious challenges at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, we just do it, 'cause we're a bunch of crazy chicks :)

Green with envy?

This is my little inspiration for you, hop on over and join our fun :)

I used an image from Viva Las VegaStamps and a sentiment from Dylusions .....

*O* is for Outrageous!

Another fun challenge at our blog today:

*O* is for Outrageous!

At first I didn't know what to make. Then I suddenly realized that I was pretty late in providing an inspiration for you and stared to work on my card. Then, after all the stress I had to face the fact that I had made something for the challenge already and it just slipped into Nirwana .... well, there is just nothing nice at old age :(

So, please take a look at the TWO inspirations I made for you .....

#76 Y – Y did I buy that?

Our new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers:

Y – Y did I buy that?

For me it's definitely this stamp ....

I was nosing around that bird for quite some time and admired all the lovely creations other artists came up with it. Now that I have it, I don't know what to do with it. 

I tried many times and it all landed in the trash. I just think it has too much white in the middle, so disturbing to my sensitive eye.

Challenge Winner

I'm tickled to tell you that I am winner of the monthly challenge at the Viva LasVegaStamps Blog with this Tag for November ....

*UFO's* at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

We all have them, and we all will finish them ..... one of these days :)

UFO's

This is our current challenge at our *Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers* blog for the next two weeks.

I always have cardstock in my stash with some kind of background, some in whole sheets, some already cut to card size or tags, the smaller ones into ATC's. This just had the colouring and the scratches.

I also found the wings which I must've stamped and cut a while ago, I guess at the time I didn't find any use for them.

Now I stamped the lady from Viva Las Vegastamps and the bulb from Visible Image and used bleach to take the colour away. The wings are from Rubber Dance Stamps.

To add some interest I stamped sentiments from Cherry Pie on the edges.

The sentiment on the bottom is part of a text from Dylusions.

I hope you find the time to join us, we'd love to see your UFO's ♥

 I will also enter this tag into the current challenge at Viva LasVegaStamps!

I will also enter this tag into the current challenge at Viva LasVegaStamps!

Don't pull your punches!

For the current challenge at the Naughty or Nice Challenge blog I created this card using Tim Holtz dies.

I created the background with distress Inks in different colours and a text stamp from Cherry Pie. The sentiment is a Dylusions stamp designed by Dyan Reaveley.

*Z* is for Zentangle

A new challenge at our "Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers" blog ...

This is my take on the *Z* is for Zentangle challenge. Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to try to draw by hand, so my background is design paper .... shame on me :(

Please hop on over to the blog and check out the amazing jobs the Snarks have come up with :)

Happy weekend ♥

*Sleeping* Totem Cat

I started with the idea of a Halloween canvas and it turned out a bit different ......

I applied Gesso to the background, part of it with a stencil and sprayed it with Distress Stain in different colours.

I added some Viva LasVega Stamps, the spider web and the sentiment from Dylusions and of course the pretty Totem Cat from EyeConnect Crafts! I applied Gesso before I coloured it with black acrylic paint from Ranger.

The little spider is a Rub On from Tim Holtz, I have to keep my spiders tiny since I'm so much afraid of them :)

Day of the Dead

What a wonderful challenge at this time of the year at our blog:

Some close ups ...

Have a good weekend and happy crafting  ♥

TOTEM EGRET

Just finished a little canvas with the funny Totem Egret from Erin Sparler and some stamps from Rubber Dance. The sentiment is one of the funny ones by Dyan Reaveley - Dylusions.

Use a die cut and/or a punch ♥

For our new challenge at USE YOUR STUFF we challenge you to use a die cut and/or a punch on your creation.

I used the Tim Holtz dies *Wildflowers*, just love the shape of all the different blossoms. For the background I used a die also designed by him, the *Mixed Media* die set.

I colored the tag with distress ink in Stormy Sky and Walnut Stain by just wiping the pads over the tag, I love the vintage feel of this technique. 

Happy Crafting ♥
