Get My Ducks in a Row

Get My Ducks in a Row | by karen @ carefree creations

So the Snarky Sisters Challenge is having a design team call. I thought I’d throw my hat in – I’ve been enjoying letting my humor out in my cards.

This card started with a post I found on Pinterest.

I used a flat acrylic stamp to make my mirror image duck (the orange one).

Thanks for taking a peek!

The current challenge at Snarky Stampers is all about magical mystical legends.

I had a hard time coming up with a snarky sentiment, but I browsed “snarky” on pinterest and eventually came across this saying.

Thanks for taking a peek!

No Peeking | by karen @ carefree creations

This card is for two challenges: Snarky Stampers: Naughty Christmas and CAS Colours & Sketches #153.

It took me awhile to come up with a snarky Christmas card, but seeing as I’m pretty infamous in my family for peeking, I thought this would be a funny card.

The “that means you” sentiment is pieced together from several sentiments in a birthday set. I just used a marker to ink the words I wanted.

For the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge, you are to pick a past color scheme and make a Christmas card. I went all the way back to the beginning with the first color challenge: #2 – garden green, lucky limeade, and real red.

Life Needs Background Music

I’m playing along again at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. This week’s challenge is music.

It took me a long time to find something, but the internet helped!

Life Needs Background Music | karen @ carefree creations

When I couldn’t come up with my own idea, I searched the internet and found a quote similar to this and knew it would be perfect (I have a two teenage kids, and while we’ve never said these words, the sentiment is there!).

I’ve said before I prefer to make cards that I can use – even when I’m playing a snarky challenge (thankfully my family is fully aware, and mostly appreciative, of my sarcastic/snarky personality).

The tape frame was inspired by this awesome card by Jenny.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Snark Challenge

So this post won’t be for everyone – you’ve been warned! {My dearest kiddo – you may want to skip this one.}

I have been lurking following the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers blog for a long time now. Their sense of humor totally works for me – it is very much how my brain works (I just do a lot of filtering – for folks who know me, it is probably worrisome to think of how much I filter considering what still manages to escape).

Anyway, their latest challenge is kitties. I made the following card to post to another challenge, but in all honesty, I wasn’t sure it would be appreciated as I know it will be at the Sisterhood.
