Happy Holidays Everyone! I hope your holiday preparations and celebrations are all going according to plan and, if like mine they are doing their own thing, I hope that you are taking a moment to smell the baking/coffee/wine/eggnog...Grin. Today I am sending you this blog post from a lovely beach in Manzanillo, Mexico as this pasty-white Canadian soaks up all the sun she can get before the loooong, dark, cold days of December, January and February! (brrrrrrr). But even from Mexico I wouldn't miss today's Challenge #49 for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers where Edna says:
"X" is for Christmas
(of Course!)
This year I created a series of Dudley Christmas Cards just for this challenge, so I hope you enjoy his snarkiness (grin). For those of you who don't know, "Dudley" is a sock monkey who belongs
to a friend of mine and who travels the world collecting wisdom and sharing it in his own unique, slightly sarcastic way.
His personality is sooo big that I decided to create a line of cards to share his wise, sarcastic and funny words with the rest of you. So perfect for the Sisterhood don't you think?
Now why don't you come play? Create something Christmas-inspired and link it up to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers' blog by January 8th and you too could be voted in as the Queen or Princess of Snarkiness with all the bragging rights that entails.... PLUS you may have the opportunity to be our Guest Designer for one of the challenges!
I am not going to show you how I created all these cards this post, but I will give you a list of all the products I used in their making:
Holiday Monkey stamp from My StampBox painted using Canson Angora Water Colors
Paper is "Jovial" from the Basic Grey 2010 Christmas Collection

Sentiments are all from Ranger Dylusions Stamp set "Christmas Words" by Dyan Reaveley
