**Post #2 for the day.  Please scroll down for my Digi Doodle Shop sponsor post."

Good morning everyone!  Happy beginning of the week!  I'm here to let you know that Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the newest challenge over at Incy Wincy Designs!  They had a gorgeous sketch for us to play with:


Isn't it fun?  I decided to stick to the sketch and not add any embellies....going for a cleaner look.  =D



I used the fabulous Sally Honey.You can find her in the Sassy Studio Designs store.  I know Sally isn't usually green...but I was going with more of a zombie rag doll look.  You know how I love my zombies. =D The sentiment on the inside is from Tiddly Inks.

 Want to play along?  Head on over to the Incy Wincy Designs to check out their post with all the details and inspiration from their DT.  Want some more inspiration?  Head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see what the other Sponsorship Sassy Sisters have come up with.  You will not be disappointed!

Digi Doodle Shop Sponsors Cupcake Craft Challenges

Good morning and happy Monday!  I hope today starts a fantastic week for you.  I'm here today to let you know that Digi Doodle Shop is sponsoring the newest challenge over at the Cupcake Craft Challenges blog!  The challenge is.....Material Girl!  No, they don't want to see projects about Madonna....although, that could be kind of cool.  No, what they want to see are projects using some kind of fabric or something made of fabric.  (Yes, canvas counts.)


I used the lovely Sewing Machine - Vintage, which is found in the Antiques section of the Digi Doodle Shop store.  I'm especially enamored of sewing images right now since I just started sewing again.  Plus, this machine is just so fabulous!  The fabric part of my card are two canvas triangles that have been painted to match the quilt in the image.  The sentiment I printed out on word.  The paper is from Stampin' Up.  The image, sentiment and canvas triangles have been hand stitched using silver embroidery floss.

Well, now that you've seen my project, head on over to the Cupcake Craft Challenges blog to see the fabulous work by their Design Team.  Then I sincerely hope you will play along!  Why not combine it with the current Digi Doodle Shop challenge?

Thanks for stopping by, and we'll see you soon!

Sassy Studio Designs Release Blog Hop

Hello, and happy Saturday!  I'm so excited because it's time for the Sassy Studio Designs release blog hop!  Woot woot!  This is just thrilling.  You should have arrived here from Soma's blog.  Wasn't her card fabulous?  She's just one of the incredibly talented Sassy Sisters I'm proud to have as my teamie. If you didn't arrive from Soma's, head back to the beginning at the Sassy Studio Designs blog to make sure you don't miss out on the fabulous prizes.  Before I show you my card, I should explain how this hop is happening, right?  

WELL, first of all, the theme of this hop is all about our most favorite and least favorite tools.  Each DT member will be telling you about their favorites...and not so favorites.  My favorite tool is my Big Shot.  I LOVE it!!  I use it on pretty much every card, whether for embossing or die cutting.  It's just so useful!  As for my least favorite tool...my quilling tool.  Don't get me wrong, I love quilling, but it's such a pain in the butt I rarely do it!

Ok!  Now during this hop there are THREE prizes that can be won.  Two lucky commenters from somewhere in the DT blogs will win one new image each.  How cool is that?  You'll have to leave love for all the Sassy Sisters in the hop, though, 'cause there's no way to know which DT blog will have the prize.  (I don't even know!!) Plus, the grand prize is to win THREE new images!  Whoo hoo!  To be eligible for that prize, you HAVE to comment on the Sassy Studio Designs blog, and you MUST say in your comment what your favorite and least favorite tools are.

Now, before I get to the blog hop list, I get to share my project. Meet Kutie Kim Roller Girl...


Isn't she a doll?  As soon as I saw her this sentiment popped into my head.  It reminds me of skate nights at the roller rink...when I was in middle school my friends and I would go skating every Friday night.  Once a month there was an all-nighter, where we'd be locked into the rink for skating from 6pm to 6am.  Ahh, memories!

Now's the time where I would say it's time to be on your way...but I'm the last stop in the hop!  Congratulations, you made it!  Thanks so much for hopping with us.  =D  I've posted the complete blog hop list below just so you can make sure you hit every stop.  Don't forget to stop by the Party Blog tonight at 10pm Eastern Time to chat with the DT and other Sassy Studio fans!  See you there!

Starla   (That's me!)

Help!!

**This is my second post of the day.  For my Sassy Studio Designs release preview, please scroll down**

Ok, y'all, I need your help!  This might sound weird, but I've gotten an odd request for a card.  Has anyone seen an image/digi stamp of two beers dressed as a bride and groom?  Or a bride and groom drinking beers?  A coworker  wants an anniversary card for a former coworker, and she's got her heart set on including beer in it. LOL  If anyone has seen an image like this, or anything in this vein, I would really appreciate your help!  I've tried googling it with no luck.

Thanks!

Wednesday on a Friday....

Happy Friday to you!  I have a special treat to share.  Sassy Studio Designs is having a new release of fan favorite images tomorrow.  We're having a blog hop and chat tomorrow night...you definitely won't want to miss it!  Well, today I get to preview one of the images that is being released.  Meet Wednesday Sara Adams!  (Sara is the name of the fan who picked this image, so she gets to be the namesake!)


Isn't she FABULOUS?!?  I used some Copics, new dies, new flowers, new metal sentiment sticker, and, of course, Stickles!  (The black dots in the die are actually black Stickles.) Now, those of you that know me know how much I love the cute gothic look, so I really lucked out being able to share this image.  You should see what some of the other Sassy Sisters came up with!  It's crazy fun to see how many different ways one image can be portrayed.  Why don't you pop on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to check them out?  Don't forget to stop by the blog tomorrow for the hop, then stick around and chat with the DT tomorow evening!  They're a fun, crazy bunch, so it promises to be a blast.  =D

Don't forget...it's Fabulous Freebie Friday!  Head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs group on Paper Craft Planet to pick up today's free image.  She's a cutie!  She's only available for 24 hours, so hurry!
Here's Jeanie Sassy, colored in Paint.net...


Thanks for stopping by, and here's hoping we see you tomorrow!

Lazy Sunday

Happy Sunday!  I wish I were able to have a lazy weekend, but there's just SO much to do!  On Friday two very good friends of mine got married.  I am so happy for them, and it was so much fun!!  Today we're going to go see them open the presents, but I wanted to post the card I made for them.



I decided to keep it fairly simple.  I've had this couple from Tiddly Inks for quite a while.  In their recent anniversary celebrations, Tiddly Inks was giving away some freebie frames.  When I saw this trellis image, I knew it would be perfect!

That's it for now.  We'll see you again soon!

Sassy Studio Designs Sponsors Craft Your Days Away


Happy weekend!  I just LOVE my weekends...they're so open to possibility!  There's so much I can do!  I usually don't do anything...but I could if I wanted to. LOL

Starting THIS weekend, Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the newest challenge over at Craft Your Days Away!  What's the challenge, you may ask?  Metal.  They want to see metal on your projects.  Well, as soon as I hear metal, I think Steampunk!


I used the stunning Steampunk Victoria.  Isn't she sassy? You can find her in the Sassy Studio Designs store.  I just love the Steampunk style, so I had a lot of fun with this card.  I used some chain from my old jewelry-making stash.  The background for Victoria is part of a cereal box, stamped with a stamp from my stash and edged with Distress Inks.  The gears, arrows and sentiment charm are from Tim Holtz.  The photo corner gears are from Jolee's Boutique.  The flowers, from Recollections, were originally white but I sprayed them with chocolate, tattered leather and bronze Glimmer Mists.

 Want to play along?  Head on over to the Craft Your Days Away challenge to check out their post with all the details and inspiration from their DT.  Want some more inspiration?  Head on over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see what the other Sponsorship Sassy Sisters have come up with.  You will not be disappointed!
