May All Your Wishes Come True Release and Blog Hop for Sassy Studio Designs!

Just a couple of things first.  If you've made it this far on the fabulous blog hop, God Bless You!  Also, for everyone in the United States, Happy Memorial Day!  I love this holiday because it pays tribute to those who have or are serving in the military.  I proudly served 12 1/2 years in the Navy and loved every minute of it.  It was a privilege and honor and I wouldn't have traded one single second of my time doing one of the most important things in my life.  Now on to the blog hop!

Don't you just love it when something you've truly wished for comes true?  I know it's happened to me several times in my life and it's just truly magical when it happens.  That's what the new release for Sassy Studio Designs, May All Your Wishes Come True, is all about.  But there's a twist - it's about when your grown up wishes come true!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I think you'll love this release!  I now I sure do!

If you've come to my blog from my ever talented designing sister, Sara's blog, then you're on the right track.  If not, make sure to go to the Sassy Studio Designs blog and start from there.  I promise it will be well worth your time!

I am really excited to present Cinderella Pin Up to you!  I'm really pleased with how she came out!  Just want to warn you that there's a few pictures!

I did something new for me, I used a digi and made a candle!  I've done it with rubber stamps before but never with a digi and I had a blast!  (I'm writing a tutorial for it and you'll be able to find it over at our Paper Craft Planet Group in a few days.)  She's colored with copics and added to the candle with my embossing gun.  I added some stickles all over her gown, headband and shoes.

I added some blue tulle from Joann Fabrics and all of the flowers are from Recollections.  Love her missing shoe!

I added some jewels to the top and the back and they are by Studio G.

Since she's a pin up, I wanted to add a sassy type sentiment to her!

Here's a view of the side with another sentiment.  I like this one because usually when you hear about a ship coming in or something good happening, usually the person is at another pier or the airport and they miss it.  Miss Cinderella Pin Up was in the right place at the right time!

And here is a view of the left side of the front of the candle.  It was hard working with this project because it smelled so good!  The scent is Fresh Linen and I got the candle at Michaels.

Well, I'm the next to the last stop so head on over to The Sassy Studio Designs Blog and tell us what you thought about the blog hop and the release.  I think it's one of our funnest so far!

Roses on Paper Design Team Challenge - Stamping on Candles!

Today is the day for our Roses on Paper Design Team Challenge and it was issued by our very talented and inspiring Iris. She did a great tutorial on stamping on candles which you can see at our Roses on Paper Design Team Project and Tutorial blog. She gave us the picture above and challenged us to stamp on a candle. I love doing this and had such fun with this challenge!



I thought Angel Anya just needed to be on a candle! She's so angelic looking and with the Easter season approaching, I think so much about our heavenly hosts and the influences they have on our lives and how they protect and look out for us. I colored her with copics and used some stickles on her halo and wings and just a bit on her dress.



I thought the sentiments in my new "Life" stamp set that PaperTrey Inc., so graciously donated to all of us at Stamp New England last weekend, was so appropriate for the upcoming holiday. We should celebrate life and live it to it's fullest every day. It's a gift and we shouldn't take it lightly.



Here are a couple of pictures of the sides. I used Prima flowers, spacers and brads and you know me, it's got to have stickles on it somewhere! I added some branches using my Martha Stewart punch. Love that thing!



I love this gold ribbon from my stash. I think it makes Anya look like she floating on a cloud of gold. And the hatpin is because I love pearls!

I hope you enjoy her and will give stamping on candles a try! To me, it's much easier than doing a card! Make sure you stop by our Design Team Blog and see the gorgeous candles that my inspirational and creative designing sisters came up with. They're stunning!
