Vera Lane Xmas Snark

I am still not done trying to make Halloween schtuff,

but I'm coming to the dreaded realization that Christmas is eminent.

Gah!

I decided to have a go at transforming some Vera Lane digi images 

from their everyday quirkiness to Holiday Cheer Quirkiness.

I am always in need of last minute Christmas cards, and this little lady seemed

like the perfect focal point for a fun and simple holiday card. 

I used the Wednesday image and added a hat from the 

Boutique Hats set. I also gave her a cool sweater that was

offered as a freebie on the Vera Lane Studio facebook page.  

I went completely non-traditional with a purple and black color scheme,

and a snarky sentiment for this card. I used some TH snowflake border

and a MS skull border punch to mimic  a sweater design.

I am having a blast transforming these deliciously fun and quirky images

for Christmas cards. I may have forgotten to mention that I am using Gimp

to manipulate the images. I think I need to look for an update as my version is pretty

dated, but it still works for what I need.

I'll be back soon with a couple more cards using Vera Lane images and Gimp.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

ABC Challenge - V is for Violet 

Whimsie Doodles - Naughty or Nice? 

Glitter N' Sparkle - #164 purple and black 

Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes Christmas

All Hail the Queen of Snark!!

I am thrilled to have been chosen as the Queen of Snark
over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

As the Queen I get to play along with those snarky ladies for their

newest challenge which is ...

Now you may be thinking, "What the heck does that mean?"

Basically, it can be anything to do with music. Sheet music, lyrics,

musical notes, etc...

I was struggling a bit trying find a snarky song to use as my muse,

but decided to go in a completely different direction using holiday sheet music

as my background paper. I used a snarky sentiment to fulfill my Snarky title.   

I went with the holiday standard Christmas song, "Jingle Bells". 

I pulled up some Jingle Bells sheet music and aged them to perfection.

 The stamp is called, 'Tangled Enthusiasm', from Stampotique.
The presents are also a stamp from Stampotique, called 'Piling Things'.

Perfect snarky sentiment also from Stampotique.

I had a blast coloring the Xmas lights. I hadn't given any thought as to how

to fussy cut them beforehand, but I think they turned out quite alright.

Thank you so much, Snarky Sisterhood!!

I really appreciate being recognized as a Queen, and being asked 

to join in on the snarky fun for this challenge.

Be sure to stop by the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and see

what the real Queens of Snark have conjured up for this theme.
