Balloons - The Stamping Boutique



The Stamping Boutique just turned 3, so I made the cutest, super simple, bday card.  They have a set for $9 that includes 2 balloon animals, a greeting, present, and birthday cake, what a value!  Not to mention, how many designers out there have balloon animals!    I really loaded this guy up with crystal effects, and check out the white gel pen on top of the crystal effects.  This was a total light bulb moment.  When you use the gel pen under the crystal effects, it gives you a soft and muted look.  If you use it on top of the crystal effects, it is crisp and ultra white!  Just pops off the digi.  It also writes super smooth.  So this is my tip for the day!  I'll be at the following challenges:

It's a Small World - Part 2



Finally, I can share my France Honey creation with you, isn't she too cute!  I added all kinds of details from a heart on her hat, gems on the suitcase, the third piece of luggage actually is a map of France, a sexy little mole on her face, and she has her passport in hand to get through the customs.  I hope you are enjoying the hop and are inspired by all the beautiful creations along the way, but mostly I hope you have time to go shopping for these little honeys and create your own.  What are these little highlighted letters for you ask?  Grab a cup of coffee/tea and hop along collecting highlighted letters and decode them for a secret message!  Sorry, no decoder ring, just have to use the old bean.  LOL!  It's just another fun way to win some sassys! 
Also, check out the main blog at http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com for more fun and games!  They have a list of trivia questions too!  Who knows, you may be a winner, but you have to play to win.

If you're looking to chat it up with the design team, or want to ask about a trick or two, join us in the evening.

Here is the order of the hop:  If you've arrived here by way of Kate's creation, you're right on schedule.  Next on the list is Lori, I'm sure she has something fabulous for your viewing pleasure.
