Dare to Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs

Happy 4th of July everyone!  You know I love me some hot, sunny weather, some Sassy Studio Designs beauties, and a holiday!  These are just a couple of reasons why I love this holiday.  All you have to do is have a barbeque, spend time with friends and family, and watch some fireworks.  Love it and it just doesn't get to be much better!

Over at Sassy Studio Designs we shook some things up and changed teams and so every Thursday for the next few months, you'll be seeing something fabulously sassy from me!  This week our challenge is Patriotic (red, white, and blue) and I decided to use one of our new images, Bubble Bath Sassy!

What a sassy thing she is!  Ever since I can remember, summer is filled with bubbles.  It's one of the best ways to entertain kids and adults alike!  But with sassy lady also likes her bubbles but a little bit different type than you would find on a picnic!

She's all colored up with Copics and covered with Stickles all of ther bubbles and tub.  I sprayed the entire tag with Goosebumps to give it some texture and a look of being hot and steamy.  The papers are from my favorite piece of paper ever from Graphic 45 and she's cut out and framed with Nestabilities.  The pearls are from Studio G and bakers twine holds the tag on the bottle.

You can see a glimmer of the Goose Bumps texture here.

The sentiment is computer generated and I love that font!  I plan on entering her in the following challenges:

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th!  Have a burger for me.  I think I'm going to be using these bubbles in the bottle with Allie, my granddaughter!

Daisy Scattering Love from Elphine House Austraila

I could make all kinds of excuses for being absent, but sometimes life and family happens.  Have had a sick granddaughter on my hands and had a relapse of the flu.  Haven't been having much fun, that's for sure.

Things have settled down and I think I'm back on track again and felling pretty settled.  I remember when I was little, I had to complete all my chores before I could play or read and this sweet Daisy Sprinkling Love from Elphine House Australia, from one of my favorite artists, Elisabeth Bell, just reminds me of that work ethic my mom and dad instilled in us.  Work before play or pleasure!

I made this image into a bookmark for a really special little girl.  I'm trying to entice her into reading more and thought something with ribbns and buttons might help her keep her place.  She's colored with copics and added some Stickles to her apron, ruffle on her dress, feed, and that sweet chicken.  The papers are from Graphic 45 (my favorite paper company!), the buttons are from Close To My Heart, the bakers twine is from The Twinery, and the lace and pearls are from my stash.

What a gorgeous image she is, don't you think?  She reminds me of those sweet farm girls who get up at o-dark-thirty to get her chores done and doesn't even question it.

Hope you enjoy her as much as I enjoyed making her!  Now I hope she's not too thick for her books!
