Hanging the Wreath - Sassy Studio Designs



It's time for another Fabulous Friday Freebie at Paper Craft Planet.  Here is the link if you need it:  http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/sassystudiodesigns/forum/topics/fabulous-freebie-friday-12-14-12.  Hanging the Wreath is only available for 24 hours, so click on over and get yours before she is gone!  You must be a member of Papercraft Planet, which is easy peasey to do.  Sooooo, anticipating our Christmas Photo, shot horizontally (note to self, take a horizontal picture to put in this layout!  LOL!, it would be just like me to take all vertical and have to remake the page!).  I had the greatest time creating this layout!  Bits and pieces of everything.  The trees were so fun to make, I only stuck my sleeve in the paint twice!  Honestly, they look good enough to lick!  Just like sugar cookies.  I've embossed the door, it isn't too clear in the pic, but have you ever tried to create a door?  I so wanted to use different colors, but it just wasn't turning out right so I embossed instead. I've always loved houses with red doors for some reason, I guess it makes me wonder how really colorful the inside of the house is too!  Ooooh, I just love the MS Big punch for the 1/2 snowflake loopy boarder too!  Hope all your holiday creations turn out beautiful this crazy holiday season!!!!  You can see me at the following challenges:

SS Life is Good - The Stamping Boutique


Switching up winter gears a bit.  This cute little sail boat from The Stamping Boutique pleaded with me to be colored.  I got some new crayons you can blend with water and I thought I'd give it a go. They worked great for creating my high seas!  My little bit of summer sunshine on a winter day - yep, this one made me smile!  I'll be entering the following challenges:

Father Time - Christmas Ornament


This week's challenge at The Stamping Boutique is "ornaments"!  I took this challenge literally and got out my soldering stuff and made an ornament out of Father Time!  So totally cute.  If you have your eye on any special TSB images, hurry over before the end of December, because Tracey is closing up shop!  I know right, I was so totally blown away.  It has been so much fun being on her Design team for the past year, and I hope I've inspired you along the way.  Best of Luck to Tracey and we loved your style!  It has been a honor working with you!  I'll be entering the following challenges:

Shady Sassy - Sassy Studio Designs


This week's challenge at Sassy Studio Designs Dare to be Sassy Thursday is to make a Christmas Ornament - cool right!  I dug out my soldering equipment and jewelry fixins and played around with Shady Sassy.  It turned out so cool, and the best thing is I haven't forgotten how to solder either!  Whoot Whoot, bonus!  I wanted to use the chain link as my string to compliment the hand cuffs, and also the key - clever, I know!  Still patting myself on the back for that one.  The back says "I hope your inner goddess has her sequins on and is ready to dance the rhumba".  Cute Cute Cute.  LOL!  Come join me in the DTBST Challenge for a chance to win some sassys of your own.  I'll be entering the following challenges:

You know, this digi makes me smile, and sing along too!  I mean really, try reading it without singing!  Be assured the inside says "and don't it feel good", LOL, but I didn't take a pic of the inside.  Mental note to do that next time I decorate the inside.  The Stamping Boutique's challenge to you this week is, you guessed it, music inspired, whether it's Christmas, birthday, whatever song floats along in your head, let's see it come to life on paper.  You could win some images too boot!  I'll be at the following challenges:

All Wrapped Up - Sassy Studio Designs




Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!  Dare To Be Sassy Thursday's Challenge for the coming week is "fabric or felt"  This was so totally not easy for me.  First of all, I've never made a felt flower with my die cuts before.  So, I was forced to learn which isn't a bad thing, because it went okay!  LOL!  I thought hubby deserved a sexy Christmas card this year.  I love how I hid the tag behind the image for something sassy, but left the inside blank so I could write something heartfelt.  This is definately not my ordinary color palette, but it just turned out so rich!  Check out her polka dot pumps!  I so want a pair like that.  I fashioned a rug out of some coordinating paper for her to sit on, which was pretty cute too.  I punched a little tag by the bow with the stamp that says "mwah", I just love that stamp, it so goes with everything. Okay, I'm a bit excited over this card.  Come join the challenge and step out of your box a bit!  I'd love to see what you make.  I'll be entering the following challenges:

Reindeer Sassy - Sassy Studio Designs



 
Whoot Whoot, another Sassy Studio Designs Release.  I was assigned Reindeer Sassy, and I just couldn't resist having her lead Santa's Sleigh, red nose and all!  What a great way to get ahead with a Scrapbook Layout in the theme of Shabby/Chic or Vintage.  I used my Martha Stewart vintage papers with a lace punch border. Of course, my cricut came in handy for my reindeer too!  I had a lot of fun with this, and even blinged out the tree.
 
Make sure to leave some love on the Sassy Studio Designs Blog, there will be prizes for 2 randomly selected commenters.  Play along with the challenge, and you even have a chance to win all 5 newly released images. So come on, step out of your box and get your sassy on!  I'll be entering the following challenges:

Fortune Teller - Sassy Studio Designs


Hey hey it's Thursday and time for another challenge at Sassy Studio Designs.  Wanna win some sassys?  This week's theme is no pattened paper.  Well, I made my paper with dylusions ink, and stamped a few flowers here and there.  Techincally is this a pattern?  I don't know, but I love how it turned out so rich and compliments Lindsay's digi perfectly.  Making your own of paper is well MESSY, but oh so cool.  I finally bought some of those surgical gloves that fit fabulously, so I don't get all inked up, makes it way easier and less clean up of me!  I just have to figure out a way to control my over spritz - any ideas out there?  I'll be entering the following challenges, come join me.
