Cocktail Time for Dare To Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs

It's getting hot in here... Love that song and with the heat down here's it's kind of appropriate!  Today over at Dare to Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs, this week our challenge is Cocktail Time!  There was a time in my life when Cocktail Time was a big fun for me.  And don't get me wrong, I still love a good margarita now and then, but now, it's pretty rare.  But with this weather, a good ice cold beer sure can be just the thing to quench the thirst!  So right now, it's 5:00 somewhere!

This babe is Lager Pinup Sassy and you can find her here.  I colored her with copics and her mugs are covered with Diamond Glaze and Stickles!  The clock is from the Tim Holtz diecut, the gorgeous papers are from Anna Griffin's The Royal Fleur paper pack and the burlap braid and pearls are from my stash.

I love the faces that Lindsay does for these gorgeous images!

 I tried to get a good view of the mug but it looks milky instead of shiny!  In real life, i swear it's rather inviting looking!

So stroll on over to our Sassy Studio Design Team Blog for a little nip of something.  Show us what your cocktail time is like!  Cheers!

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs

Gotta love summer!  It's my favorite time of the year as you all know.  One thing I love about summer is all the vivid colors.  Everything looks so deep and vibrant.  Over at Sassy Studio Designs Dare to Be Sassy Thursday, our challenge this week to everyone is to use your favorite color combination.  I have several, but one of my all time favorites is blue and yellow.  It seems so fresh and renewing to me.  I love the french country look and that's what those colors remind me of.

For my project this week, I used Cinderella Pinup and made a CD case!  It was so fun and easy!  I followed the directions found here .  I colored the beauty with copics and added stickles all over her.  These gorgeous papers are from an Echo Park paper pad that I ordered from Kim at Cutter's Creek.  The flowers are from the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge and the swirls are from Spellbinders.  I added some tulle and pearls and called it good!

Here's a view of the back.  The instructions call for some type of closure, but I was making this for one of Allie's little friends so I left the closure off.  She's only 3 and I wanted to make it really easy for her to get it open.

I know, you're asking why not Cinderella instead of Tinkerbell!  I had one of the Tinkerbell's all done up and ready to go, but I spilled coffee on her and my Cinderella DVD is in storage.  So there you have it!

Here she is close up.  I absolute love this image and hope you do too!  So head on over to our Sassy Studio Design Team blog and see what fabulous and fun color combinations my creating buddies have come up with for you.  I loved their projects and got a couple of ideas of colors to try together that I never though of. Love it when that happens!

Don't forget to head over to our Sassy Studio Design Party Blog and take advantage of the fabulous new image that is being offered today and tomorrow for free before it goes into the store on Saturday morning!  She's so much fun and remember to use her responsibly.

Christmas in July for Dare To Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs

Love me some Christmas, I do!  Doesn't matter to me what time of the year it is.  Being down in Florida, it is so hot that doing a theme of Christmas in July kind of cools me off a little.  That's our theme this week for the Dare To Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs.  I love it because you can do some different takes on the colors.  I decided to go with some lighter colors, pinks and greens!

Victorian Holiday Sassy has always been one of my favorite images because I think she looks so delicate and feminine.  She's colored with copics and has stickles on her coat and dress.  The green and pink papers are from Recollections and I used my Nestabilities to make the snowflakes and covered them with Pearl Tattered
Angels spray.  The gems are from Studio G and the ribbon is from my stash.

Here's a close up of her.  Don't you think she's just so pretty?

Here's a pretty good view of the snowflakes.

I love the snowflakes in the bottom right corner.  This is one of my favorite die sets!  I'm going to enter her into the following challenges:

Crafts and Me - Anything goes
Inky Impressions - Christmas in July
Paper Minutes - Anything goes
Holly Jolly Christmas - Tic-Tac-Toe (Ribbon, Glitter, Gems/Pearls)

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.

Doesn't she have a beautiful face?  Just love her!

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs

So, so sorry about how this post came out!  I thought I saved it as a draft but I guess not!  It's Time for a Dare To Be Sassy Thursday over at Sassy Studio Designs!  Our theme this week is Feeling Funny.  I decided to use my French Maid that I've had for a while but haven't colored up yet.  There is so much you can do with her.  I thought she was so sassy that this time I decided to use her with a very cheeky sentiment.

This sexy thing is colored with copics, has some stickles on her hat, bows, and cuffs and is cut out with Nestabilities.  The lace is from Cloud 9, the pearls are from Studio 112,m and this is some of my favorite paper from DCWV's Black Current paper pack.  The flowers are handmade and the sentiment I printed from my computer.

Here's a close up of this gorgeous face.

Here's the inside.  I left enough room to write something very witty!

This card opens from the side rather than the top.  I made this card larger than I usually do so I folded the paper a little differently than I normally do.

I hope you've enjoyed her as much as I loved putting her together.  Make sure to stop over at our Sassy Studio Designs blog and see all the fabulous, funny cards my designing sisters have in store for you!  Join in our challenge for a chance to win an image or two!  We'd love to see your wit!

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs

I am having so much fun creating with the new Follow the Yellow Brick Road release from Sassy Studio Designs!  We were challenged this week to use paper piecing over at the Sassy Studio Design Team blog and I thought my stomach was going to stay in my throat.  That was until I saw this fabulous Oz Sassy! 

I simply adore her and think you can do so much with her!  You can certainly color her like the traditional Oz, use her for a wedding or prom, make her red/white/blue for the 4th.  She's so versatile!  Me when I saw her, I thought of animals!  Doesn't she look like she'd be the greatest ring master?!

I colored her with copics and added a little bit of Stickles to her hat, jacket, vest, and shoes.  The kraft and gold card stock and the sentiment are from Stampin' Up and I embossed the gold paper with one of my gorgeous cuttlebug folders to give it some texture.  The frame and ovals are from Nestabilities and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

The sketch is from Try Stampin' On Tuesday.  Love it and will use it a lot!  I used my soot black distressed marker to outline her pants, but it's kind of hard to see from these shots.  I don't usually paper piece very well, but I think these pants came out pretty good, even if I do say so myself!

I think she's such a beauty!  I'm going to be entering her in the following challenges:

Crafty Creations - embossing
Stamp n Doodle - Anything goes
Addicted to Stamps and More - markers
Bearly-Mine Challenges - Anything goes
Through The Craftroom Door - Anything goes
Use It Tuesday - Hoarders (Stampin Up cardstock!) and die cuts

Saint Patrick's Day Sassy by Sassy Studio Designs

It's getting close to one of those holidays that can be so much fun but so painful!  I remember in my younger days that I tried to have at least a little bit of green in most of my underwear so if I got wrapped yp with life and forgot about St. Patrick's Day, I'd at least have something with green on!  Now that I look back on it, there's something pretty crass about pulling at your waist just to show off a shade of green on your underwear!  There's just something so classy about showing your panty elastic or your bra strap!  Hey, whatever it takes to keep from getting pinched for not wearing any green!

Well, over at Sassy Studio Design blog, it's Dare to Be Sassy Thursday and Kathy gave us the challenge of Seeing Green for St. Patrick's Day!  I knew exactly what image I wanted to use because this beauty reminded me of the days when I used to go out and really celebrate the Day!

I would dare say that Saint Patrick's Day Sassy is full of green and could hold her own while out on the town to celebrate the holiday!  I used the sketch from Fetch A Sketch and think she came out pretty good.  She's colored with copics and has stickles on her clovers and top, pants, and socks.  I added some Diamond Glaze to the mug and the foam and used my Clear Jelly Roll pen to add some sparkles to the buckles on the shoes and belt and to the bubbles on the mug. The papers are from Recollections and SEI.  The flowers are from Recollections and the branches are made with Martha Stewart punches and her frame is from Nestabilities.  I added some Scattered Straw Distressed Inks around the edge of the frame to give her that golden, pot of gold at the end of he rainbow look.

Isn't she a gorgeous stunner?

I followed the sketch on the inside and here's a couple of peeks of it.

Here's the full biew of the inside.

Dare To Be Sassy at Sassy Studio Designs - Going Green

The theme for the challenge this week for the Dare To Be Sassy Thursday over at the Sassy Studio Designs blog is going green!  Recycling and reusing is so important now and we as crafters can do our part in helping the environment.  How many of us have some cards, papers, or embellishments just laying around?  I know I do.  I have cards that I've put together and just wasn't really satisfied with them and never photographed them  or passed them on to others.   I think of craft recycling in terms of pulling off elements that I don't really like off of something that I've already completed  and adding it to something new that I'm working on.

Here's my going green card that I did for our going green:

This is Sexy Bride Sassy and you can find her here.  I just love her sassy pose and attitude!  She's colored with copics and has Stickles all over her dress and garter and shoes.  The pearls are from Studio 112 and the papers are from my stash.  I followed the following sketch from Digi Sketch Challenge:

You know how I really struggle with the clean and simple cards but I think I showed great restraint in not adding a lot of flowers or ribbon or tons more pearls!  Rather proud of myself, I am.

I angled the sentiment secion of the inside so you can see some of the gorgeous yellow rose on the bottom.

I'm going to be entering this hottie in the following challenges:

A and T Emerald Faeries Challenge Blog - bling
Digital Tuesday - Button or bling
Oldie But A Goody Challenge - Something at least six months old (my papers are from my stash and at least a year old!)
Papertake Weekly - Anything goes
ABC Challenges - Anything goes
Created With Love - Anything goes
Make It Monday - Anything goes
MyGrafico - Anything goes
Paper Playtime - Anything goes

Head on over to our Sassy Studio Designs blog and show us how you're going green.  And also take a gander at the gorgeous projects my designing team family has to share with you all.  Nothing short of spectacular!  Go Green!

Dare To Be Sassy at Sassy Studio Designs - Stars in My Eyes

I love getting something ready for our Dare To Be Sassy Thursday over at the Sassy Studio Designs blog!  This week our theme is Stars in My Eyes and I thought I'd pull out my Tinkerbell Honey because when I hear stars, I always think of Walt Disney's "When You Wish Upon A Star..." and Tinkerbell comes to mind. I know that songs not from Peter Pan, but it still has always reminded me of Tink!

I made a door hanger for Allie to hand up on her bedroom door knob and love how she came out.  I colored her with copics and added some Stickles to her wings.  The stars and branches are cut out with my cricut and the ribbon is from my stash.  Not very elaborate but I love how she turned out!

I love her sweet face!  I was informed that her hair is too brown but I think it adds to her charm.

I am entering her in the following challenges

The Stamping Chef - Bling
Baffies Kreativladen Challenge - Purple and Green
Divas By Design - Anything Goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - Favorite color

I hope you all go over to our blog and see what my other designing buddies have come up with.  I know you'll grab all sorts of inspiration!  Make sure to get some stars in your eyes and join in our challenge!  

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs

Time for another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday for Sassy Studio Designs!  The ever talented Kathy asked us to use stitching (real or faux) on our projects.  Well, I went with the faux since I've had a horrible tooth ache and I used a character that knows a little bit about needles!

Don't you just love a good fairy tale?  I sure do!  One of my favorites is Sleeping Beauty.  Those three fairies are some of my favorite characters, but my favorite villainess has to be Maleficient!  She's just pure evil and full of herself.   I love what Lindsay's done with all of the wicked ladies from all these tales. I always hated her for having princess Aurora prick her finger on a spinning wheel since I love to sew so much!

For the challenge, I chose Maleficient Sassy, which you can find here, and colored her with copics.  I added some Stickles to her dress, glittered candy dots and some silver stars to the corners and a bow with some ribbon from my stash.  The papers are from Memory Makers (I thing) and the Kraft card stock is from Stampin Up.  I used my white Jelly Roller pen to add the stitches.

Isn't she wickedly gorgeous?

Here's a peek from the sides.

I just added a plain box for a sentiment or note to the inside.

I think she's stunning!

I am entering this hottie in the following challenges:

Crafting By Designs - anything goes
Creative Moments - shades of blue
Inky Impressions Challenge - favorite color combination (Mine is blue/brown/white or cream)
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge - anything goes
Stamp n' Doodle - anything goes

So head on over to our Sassy Studio Designs blog and show us your stitches!
