Chicken!

 

Challenge #277 - A is for Animals

 I always like a good animal challenge! So here is my entry-

                

I have got to find an editing program. My old computer has a program that I've used for years, but it is going on the fritz. The ones I have now make it harder than it has to be!

 

Anyway....this chicken card was made with the Unity Stamp Co set called What the Cluck?  and I used three other stamp sets (Clucks & Chaos, Party Pups and Snarky Birthday Greetings for the sentiments. The background is a chicken wire embossing folder a friend of mine has, and I have no idea where the speech bubble came from-I found it so I used it!

R is for rainbows

 

I'm entering this card at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers- 

SoSS #275 - R is for Rainbow

 

 

I was playing around with a paper wax emboss technique and decided to color it with a rainbow. You can see the embossing design on various areas of the front panel. I wanted a really snarky sentiment on the inside for a certain person who will totally misinterpret it.  

This has been kinda a tough month, but its getting better. My husband had a heart test that showed that his heart is doing great and the valve he got a couple of years ago it still going strong.  Better than another possible valve failure. Never listen to the people administering the test-they aren't skilled enough to give accurate results!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gnome Birthday

SoSS #274 - G is for Gnome

Now see, this challenge is a toughie for me because I have ONE gnome die (no stamps, two digi's) in my collection. But I had never used the die so I wanted to do at least something with it-so here's my card-

 This card looks better in real life-the background paper isn't nearly that grainy! The die is Spellbinders Dancin' Gnome, Spellbinders All Occasion Sentiments, DCWV cardstock, and the inside sentiment is computer generated.

Another fun challenge from the Sisterhood! 

Happy Birthday!

 

SoSS #273 - H is for Happy Birthday

 Here is my card-

This is for our dear friend Phil. Phil likes whiskey. Not just any whiskey, but top shelf whiskey. So this stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. (If You Were Whiskey) was just so perfect for his 50th birthday! I used Elizabeth Crafts Design Spiral Pull Card Die (I used it without the spiral) for the base out of some two sided Bo-Bunny cardstock that is over 100 years old. Not really, but it seems like it. Colored the whisky with Copics, and s pretty simple card.

A cold one

SoSS #272 - C is for Cold

And here is my entry-

We are in the middle of a heat wave (80's in March? In Southern Oregon?!) so when I thought of cold it was because I wanted a cold beer! I made this card with two sets by Unity Stamp Co.-Cheers & Beers (bearded man), and A Cold One (beer mug and sentiment). Fast card to make with those two stamp sets!

I'm entering this at SOSS C is for cold challenge. BTW- I love Edna's new picture header!

Curlers and Cattitude

  At the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, the challenge is "N-new or never been used stuff.". I thought that this would entail some shopping-nope! Turns out I had plenty of stuff that was just waiting to get used! 

Here is my project-

And proof that I've had this stamp for a while and never used it! I'm so ashamed. 

What I find mildly amusing is that the background paper is also from Unity Stamps-from the freebie goodie packet that they give out on orders! This reminds me of my childhood when Moms actually wore curlers in public.I love this "Pissy Kitty" Curlers and Cattitude from Unity Stamps, so why did it sit unused for so long? Well, no longer. Too easy to color and make!

Please join the Sisterhood and show off your NBUS projects!

 

D is for Drink-Christmas Edition

 

SoSS #268 D is for Drink

 

 

 

I love to play with SoSS-I got to make a special Christmas card for my brother!

 

There is all kinds of bling on this. This is the Olive Martini Die Set, and Christmas Cocktails Die Set from Spellbinders. All of the papers I used were from my scrap stash-red glitter cs, silver shimmer cs, green cs, green shiny cs, red shiny cs, silver mirror cs, etc. Even the grey plaid is scrap! I added a light grey strip to make it wide enough for the card, and covered the seam with silver scroll glitter tape from Recollections. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things stamp set "Sassy Pants Holiday".

SoSS #267 - S is for Spooky

 

Yay! My favorite time of year with the great theme over at the Sisterhood! Here is my project-

and then the inside-

 The image is from Unity Stamp Co. (Purr-Fection Princess Pissy Kitty), colored with Copics. The background is blended with Distress Oxide inks (Dusty Concord, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, and Black Soot). The bats are from Spellbinders Haunted Mansion, and the sentiments are computer generated.

My brother will love this card!
