The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - R is for Rainbow

 

It's June and that means Pride Month! The Sisterhood and our mascot, Edna, are flying their Pride flags with, well, PRIDE, and very much hope that you will come and join the fun!

Regular visitors won't be surprised that my card is silly one. We have a scurry of squirrels who live in and around our garden. We have one particular squirrel who is especially happy to be around us, eats from the bird table and brings her babies for a meet and greet when they are old enough. I thought I'd make this card for my hubby to celebrate this special friendship, which unfortunately skates on thin ice each Spring when the squirrels eat the tulip bulbs.

Why not get your PRIDE on with us this month!

The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #110 - SNOW DAY!

 

Its the first Tuesday in the month and so we have a brand new challenge over at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, where I'm delighted to welcome Caroline from KISS as our elfin guest this month! If you head on over you can read all about our guest.

Caroline has chosen the perfect theme for us:

Challenge #111 - SNOW DAY!

We'd love to see your take on this. Play it however you want, but there HAS to be snow! 

You can visit see Caroline's stunning card over on the main blog. Here's what I made...

I had so much fun creating this little scene. It's a SNOW DAY and the school is closed. Mom has just asked the kids to stand still, hold hands and pose with snowballs in their hands, but this is the moment when they start to pull apart and take aim! 

My second card was also fun to put together. I only wish I'd thought to put wobblers under the robins for added fun. 

The birdies are from Honey Bee Stamps. The set is now out of stock. 

Here's Rudolph with another lovely Random Raffle Prize:

Rudolph thought it would be fun to offer the same Concord and 9th set I used for my card! There are so many different ways to use this sweet stamp set.

Caroline and I are both very excited to see what you guys come up with for our June Challenge.
