The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #100 - N is for Naughty Christmas!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers are celebrating something of a milestone (Challenge #100!)  with another fun challenge!

I spotted Naughty Santa on this post from my fellow Troublemaker, Margo. I knew it was just the image I wanted for my N is for Naughty card! Santa is a clip art image, which I coloured with pencil crayons to make the colours a little more vibrant. I created the sentiment on my PC and I have to say the font looks just perfect with that image.

My Sistahs have created some brilliant cards for this challenge (we're such a naughty bunch!) so why not drop by and share a cheeky giggle with Edna and the gang!

Naughty or Nice Challenge #46 - Reminder

I just can't resist a good chuckle over Danielle's naughty kitty, which definitely has all four feet firmly planted in 'Camp Naughty'. I seriously think she should make a stamp outta this image!

My card is definitely in 'Camp Nice' for this challenge, although I have been a little bit naughty in that I've CASEd my SoSS teamie Jane's gorgeous card.

I know, lovely isn't it! How lucky (for me) that we both have the same Tim Holtz embossing folder. I added a circular MFT die-cut to make the focal point of my card and spanned the width of the card with leftover DP, rather than a stylish banner.
This design would also work well as a birthday card as those lovely people at MFT have also designed a 'Happy birthday' die-cut in the same style.

I enjoyed making this card so much that I tried it in a different colour palette.

I quite like this version, but I think the traditional colors give my first card a bit more ooomph!

The Troublemakers have whipped-up some fabulous mid-month inspiration, so why not head over and take a look? There are some beautiful cards to enjoy in the linky gallery, and we'd love you to join our final challenge of the year.

Gangnam Style!

The school at which I work is still closed due to the weather, so I'm forced to stay in the warm and make Christmas cards! Such a hard life!

Having said that, this is a card which has hopefully reached it's intended recipient by now; weather permitting that is!

I spotted this fabulous Katzelkraft stamp on their website a few weeks ago and knew it was a 'must-have'. I kept everything pretty simple and used some pretty leftover pieces of DP to frame the image.

I'm delighted to be playing along with my Creative with Stamps buddies again as their current challenge is Reindeer!

Happy crafting everyone!

2017 Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!

I'm soooooooooo on a roll with my Christmas cards this year!
Not sure how, but I'm managing to squeeze in extra crafting time just lately and I'm loving it. Yesterday, I made a few more Christmas cards, including this one for the current Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Regular visitors won't be surprised that my card is a comic offering. I adore this little kitty from MFT and he's my 'go to' stamp for naughty, sweet goings on. The 'froth' is some ancient liquid applique which has gone too yellowy for snow,  but is perfect as the top off the coffee!

Once again, Amy Tsuruta, Chaitali Narla and the Coffee Loving Crew have a dazzling array of sponsors and prizes on offer, and the inspiration is flowing nearly as freely as the celebrated drink itself! It's already Day #3 of the hop, so I'm heading over to enjoy all the cards in the linky gallery and to join in the fun!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge # - V is for Vegan

It's all about animals over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers as we post our penultimate challenge of 2017. I love that Edna is being photo-bombed by a cute bovine buddy!

For my offering I couldn't resist breaking out another Katzelkraft cat. I think this one is so funny as it glares from behind a curtain.

As always, you'll love the snarky, funny cards created by my sistahs, so why not hurry on over and take a look...

Less is More - Red and Green

Hi there, card friends!

I don't often get the opportunity to play along at Less is More, so was delighted to squeeze in some card making time this morning to create this little CAS kitty card for their latest challenge!

I found the words on Pinterest, and used one of my all time favourite cat images from MFT. The little hat comes from the head of one of the MFT Bitty Bears.

I simply can't believe that the LIM Crew are now on Challenge #357! Brilliant work ladies, your challenges are always such fun and so inspirational!


Have a happy day!
