The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #120 - P is for Pink Halloween

Another fabulous graphic from Sister Lee and another fabulous challenge from The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

October is very special for the sistahs: we go all pink and Halloweeny in order to celebrate all things spooky and to remind all us girlies about Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

I wasn't planning to buy any new products for this Halloween as I have accumulated enough to last me a lifetime, but then I saw these brilliant Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations/Thinlits and before I knew it they'd jumped into my basket and I was clicking 'checkout'. Strange how that happens!

The sistahs would love you to play along with this special challenge, so please come and join us here.

Now, let's talk boobies.

Here's a little something I copied from the brilliant Breast Cancer Now website:

Why should I check my breasts?
More women are surviving breast cancer than ever before and the earlier breast cancer is diagnosed the better the chance it can be treated successfully. That's why it's important to check your breasts and go to your doctor if you spot anything unusual  - you won't be wasting their time, even if it turns out to be nothing. For information about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer please click here.

Card Chain Challenge Reveal - September 2018

I have to admit that I really enjoyed putting together this little card for the CCC September Challenge. For some reason I especially like his glossy accent eyes!

At first, I just wasn't sure I could make the colours work, but after I decided on a ginger coloured cat things just seemed to fall into place perfectly.

I sent my card to CCC new player Beverly in Alabama

and am looking forward to receiving this cutie from Lucille in Colorado, USA.

I love how this challenge hugs the globe and there's still time for you to become a link in our October chain by clicking here.

Still experimenting...

I really do love VLVS stamps and have six of their little pink plastic flamingos to prove it!

I thought this sentiment paired well with this image, and really enjoyed creating the inky background and then watercolouring those three ladies.

Once again, something a little different for me, but isn't that part of the fun of crafting and stamping?

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Trying something different...

Recently, I've been experimenting and trying to step out of my comfort zone.

Don't you just love this fabulous stamp from Technique Junkies?
I stamped in Versafine Crimson ink onto card and then onto tissue paper. I layered the tissue paper and 'fluffed' it up. I did a little masking and stenciling with Distress Ink, and finally, went totally crazy with red Stickles.

Sometimes it's fun to play and experiment!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #119 - M is for Monsters.

There's a new challenge over at SoSS, and it's given Edna and the team heaps of fun: the sistahs have really worked some magic!

My card technically doesn't feature a monster, but it has got the world's cutest dragon on offer instead!

I hope you can play along with us!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #118 - L is for Leaves

Suddenly, the trees by where I live have turned all 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness'. Yes, autumn in all it's glory is upon us and so Edna and the sistahs are looking for your leafy creations for Challenge #118.

Sadly, my card is snark free yet again. My snarkiness seems to have gone AWOL... I hope it comes back very soon as I kinda feel like I've lost my superpower!

My card is a very simple one using a leftover 'negative' die cut and another 'iffy' background which I splattered with gold paint and tucked behind the die cut panel. This looks gorgeous IRL as it's so sparkly.

Please come and play along with us at SoSS and please bring your snark to the party as I need to get back in the snarky saddle and will welcome the inspiration.
