The Joy of Giving - Day 1

Hey y'all!  Welcome to Sassy Studio Design's Joy of Giving release!  Lindsay has come up with some fabulous new holiday images.  This month instead of doing a blog hop we are doing a fun little challenge.  What's the challenge? 

Vintage or Shabby Chic

How fun is that?  Meet All Wrapped Up!


I just love the pin-up style of this image!  I decided to try an old, vintage black and white pin up photo look for my card.  What do you think?  This is only the second time I've tried to color in black and white...I think it turned out pretty good.  =D

Want to see the other images being released?  (Trust me, you do!) Head on over to the SSD blog and check out the creations by more of the DT.  Then tomorrow the rest of the DT will post their images and the challenge link will be on the SSD blog. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope to see you in the challenge!

Happy Birthday Candy

This is a sticky post until 11/15/12  For newer posts, please scroll down.

For the 50 Shades of Sassy blog hop, please click HERE.

Hello my darlings!  Sorry I haven't been around all that much lately, this baby is just sucking the life right out of me.  All I do is work and sleep! LOL  It will all be worth it, though. 

Anyway, big news...today (Oct. 23) is my 30th birthday!  Gosh, it seems so crazy.  I can't believe I'm already 30.  Can anyone tell me when I'll start to feel like an adult?  =D  Besides that, during the past few months I've actually reached and surpassed 200 followers!  To me, that is just insane.  I love it, and I love you all for your sweet comments and thoughts and basically just thinking that what I create and write is worth sharing.  It really does make me feel so special when I read your sweet words, and it encourages me to keep creating.

So, to celebrate all of this fun (as well as my 2ND BLOGAVERSARY on November 7th...has it really been that long?!?) I have decided to give away some blog candy!  Now, since I'm writing this at work (shh! don't tell!!) I don't exactly know what is going to be part of the candy yet...but I can tell you it will be fabulous!  I'll put a picture of it up as soon as I gather everything.

So, what do you need to do to win?  Easy peasy!  

1. Be a follower of my blog.
2. Leave a comment on this post.

That's it!  I'll keep this open until 11/15/12 at midnight Central time, and this post will stay at the top until the deadline.  Good luck, and thank you for all that you do!  You are appreciated!

SSD Sponsorships

Hello my lovelies!  I am here to share some new Sassy Studio Design sponsorships with you.  Now, these challenges all actually started earlier today, but I've got total pregnancy brain and thought today was the 11th.  Imagine my consternation when I got to work today and realized it was the 12th and I had not yet finished my sample!!  I couldn't believe I missed the deadline.  At least I'm getting it posted on the 12th...just a little (okay, a lot) late.  Sorry, and thank you for bearing with me!

Anyway, Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring FOUR challenges starting today!  Crazy, right?  How much fun to be able to do FOUR challenges with one card!!  Ready to see what they are?





Gotta love those anything goes challenges!  =D  Here's my sample:


I used the fab Sassy Showgirl, available in the store.  Now, I swear that the paper with the fancy edges is actually a dirty olive green, but it looks brown in this picture!  As for the recycling part of the challenge...see that fun striped paper?  Well, it's actually the side of a kleenex box!  Yes, one of my new favorite things to do is buy pretty kleenex boxes so that when I'm finished with the tissues I can use the box as design paper.  Here's a tip though...they don't work with punches very well.  At least not lacy, intricate ones! LOL

Ok, ready to play along?  Head over to the challenge blog for inspiration from their DT.  Want some more fabulous Sassy inspiration?  Head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see some more examples.  They are fabulous, you don't want to miss them!  Meanwhile, I'm going to get some sleep so I (hopefully) don't miss my next deadline!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Challenges:
Lady Anne's Challenges -  Anything Goes
Artistic Inspirations - Recycle
Love to Create - Fancy Edges
Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Anything Goes

SSD Sponsors Clear It Out

Hello, and happy Tuesday!  Today starts another challenge that Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring.  This week, we are sponsoring Clear it Out with an Anything Goes challenge where the item that you're clearing out is red. (Clearing out means use something from your stash.)


I used the lovely Sexy Santa, available in the store.  My "clear it out" part is the red snowflake paper from We R Memory Keepers, which is the first pack of Christmas paper I ever bought, and the circular embellishments, which are so old I don't even remember what company they're from!

Ok, ready to play along?  Head over to the challenge blog for inspiration from their DT.  Want some more fabulous Sassy inspiration?  Head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see some more examples.  They are fabulous, you don't want to miss them!

50 Shades of Sassy

Hello, and welcome to the 50 Shades of Sassy blog hop!  If you got here from the lovely Rebecca, you are right on track.  (Isn't her coloring AMAZING?)  If you just stumbled upon my post, head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to start the hop. We are having this hop to celebrate Sassy Studio Designs reaching 800 members over on our Paper Craft Planet group.  800 members...how cool is that?!?  

As part of our celebration, Lindsay is being SO generous and giving away a new image, inspired by the 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon. Meet....Shady Sassy!!



I made this card for my hubby's birthday.  Now, I haven't read the 50 Shades books yet, but I've heard much about them.  I decided to include some...spicy...coupons as his present.  I figured that went along with the theme pretty well.  =D

Now for the details of the celebration.  To get this fabulous image, head on over to the SSD Paper Craft Planet group.  (If you are not yet a member of PCP, it's quick and easy to join!)  The image will be available for one week, until 11:59pm PDT on 11/10/12.  There is also a challenge over on the Sassy Studio Design blog.  To participate in the challenge, you must create a project in shades of black, white and grey only. (The image may be colored, but that's it.) You must use an SSD image to play, and if you use Shady Sassy you will also get Lingerie Lindsay emailed to you for FREE. (That's TWO free images!)  The challenge will also be open for one week, ending at 11:59 pm PDT on 11/10/12.

Now for the prizes!  Two randomly selected commenters from the blog hop will win two images of their choice.  A random entry from the challenge will win two images from the November release.  The GRAND PRIZE from the challenge, picked by the DT, will be ALL the images from the November release and a GDT spot for Freebie Fridays in November on the Paper Craft Planet group.

It's time to head on over to the talented Carrie's blog... Here's the hop order, so make sure you hit every stop to increase your chances of winning!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and I really hope to see you entering the challenge!
