Sharing an ultra
CAS card featuring a fab image called Dark Queen from Tiddly Inks.
Edna has gone all
silly over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and I thought it would be fun
to join her. Now if I’d
put a lampshade on my head like Edna it would probably be more obvious how I was
being silly, it would also have been a whole lot harder to make my card. So here’s the lowdown on the silly side of
this card. It starts with my #WDE
sentiment (nope not worst day ever although that would kinda work), world’s
worst director, and no, that’s not a dig at Robert Stromberg’s efforts on
Maleficent. At my work it’s what we call
some of our team leaders, not the worst ever part, the director part. Well, actually, it was the worst ever part
one of my colleagues did get called that made me want to make a card for her to
help her laugh over the whole thing. I just
abbreviated and added the hash tag when she was telling me about it as she
happens to work in our M&C department and it seemed fitting in this social
media age (I say that as though I might know how hash tags actually work,
which I don’t!).
So maybe not all
that silly but open the card and you get a bit of snarky silliness in my
corruption of our values.
Apparently the
reasons she is #WDE include her setting of impossible deadlines (deadlines
being merely aspirational for her staff member) and her pure evilness in expecting her staff to do work
for their clients.
I went with the Maleficent
style character after seeing the current inspired by a book or movie theme at
Craft Rocket. I’d originally been planning on using a ‘kiss my butt’ image but
switched out for Maleficent instead after I went looking in my appropriately
titled ‘Literary and Movie Character’ folder of digis and realised the evil but
good character was perfect for the sentiment behind my card. For all that her staff member has claimed my
colleague is actually an awesome team leader and the rest of her staff thinks
she is too.
Over at Quirky Crafts they are looking for quirky pets.
You don’t get too much more quirky than an enchanted raven-man as a pet
although I’d be happy to have one if anyone is offering! So a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun to make my colleague laugh and a me to unwind at the end of another long week at work with a spot of craftiness.
