SoSS #150 X is for X-rated Xmas

This week's challenge and the last one for 2019.. 

X is for X-rated X-mas. I had two ideas before this one, but they were naughty not x-rated so I had to rethink what I did. 

The Christmas tree and mistletoe are a Dyan Reaveley stamp..Wood for the trees

The Santa and nasty girl are images from shutterstock

the inside Santa.. Inkadinkadoo  Christmas characters

the inside sentiment is from Simply B stamps..came with a cute image.

Some Christmas cards

Last weekend I decided to make some new Christmas stamps. 

This first stamp I already had him colored and cut out so figured I should make something with him. 

for this card I used

sketch: mojo monday 357

Paper: Basic Grey Jovial

Image Taylored Expression Elf Grumplings

Sentiment lawn fawn merry messages

Saturday I went to a crop for a short time (after my daughter participated in a crossfit competition ... photos on my other blog  www.photoartbychelle.blogspot.com)  and while there a friend loaned my a stamp set. I LOVE it. I wish it was available now. 

Close to my heart Ugly Christmas Holidays  

I am going to have to make sure to stamp a whole bunch of the sweaters and sentiments before I have to give it back.

Disclaimer: I lost all my digital stamps on my hard drive and when I was able to retrieve then using a program (and an amazing friend) the files were no longer labeled. That means I have to guess who the stamp belonged too. I am sorry if I get it wrong, please message me so I can correct any mistakes and the artist can get the credit. 

SoSS 146 P is for Pink Halloween

Well I am back, hopefully for the rest of the year. Things have been insane around here, as usual baseball season goes for us into October. This year though my father in law was very ill, then passed away in June, my mother in law moved in end of September. So in between all baseball stuff we also had to get the basement cleaned out for her. 

This weeks challenge is Pink Halloween. We do this one every year, and it is pretty popular.  I didn't have any ideas until I pulled out my halloween stamps and this piece of acetate was embossed with a spider web. I decided to use it.  I used some Vicki Boutin rose gold glaze to give it some color. 

Found the sentiment on line and printed it out on cardstock. 

Here are the supplies I used, plus some foam dots.

SoSS #141 R is for RIP

This week's challenge was a challenge for all of us. RIP is it rip one or R.I.P (rest in peace) I wonder how each sistah took the challenge or how you will??

Me? I went with rest in peace, sort of. 

For the inside, I can't decide if I want the ghost in it or not. Now I haven't actually made a base this time, but the parts can go down easy enough when I need it for someone's birthday.

Stuff I used for this card:
Bugaboo digital stamp
Dylusions paint pens
Freshly made sketch #1
Silhouette brand bling (heat set with the Imaginisce tool)
Patterned paper.. unknown from my stash (both sides)
die cut from my bin of die cuts
ghost diecut K&Co

SoSS 136 F is for Family

This weeks challenge is F is for Family.  I am so so on this card but it works and I did the it. LOL  I think I was running out of steam when I did this one, or was at a crop but had to leave for a baby shower.. I think that was it.

 The inside says "I'm the tie-dyed one!"
Unfortunately I did not write down the supplies, or sketch or anything. LOL  The image and the sentiment are Dylusions.. that much I know. Pretty sure I used Dylusions paint pens to colour her in as well.

SoSS #135 I is for Ironmongery

This weeks challenge for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is Ironmongery.. just our fancy way of saying Steampunk. I love steampunk, recently got a steampunk tattoo and adding to it in a couple of weeks.

The original plan was to finish a dressform but I didn't get it finished..as you can see I didn't get very far working on it. I actually have taken the "skirt" apart several times.  I will continue and hopefully have it done by the time we decide to do this challenge again. :)

I had started a mixed media canvas at the same time, it is easier to work on it a little bit at a time so it did get completed.  I was going to put some sort of quote/statement//saying on it, but there really isn't any room and it doesn't really need it. Now looking at it..I think it needs more.. so I will be filling in the gears and stuff over the summer as the mood strikes me.

I can't even tell you what I used on it.. some Tim Holtz stuff, some prima, and other bits and pieces. The image is a Kenny K design.. I am so sad that they decided to close their business but it made sense for them. I love all of their images and if I could have afforded it I would have bought them all. :)
