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.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Sponsored by Robyn's Fetish

I love July!  It just seems like the best time of the year to me.  The 4th is always such a fun holiday, my sister's birthday is in July as well as my granddaughter, Allie.  The weather is always nice and hot and swimming, picnics, and watermelon are on the agenda.  It doesn't really get much better than that for me.  Oh, and I just love all the patriotism and fun colors in all tones of red, white, and blue are everywhere!  This week's challenge for Tuesday Throwdown is Stars and Stripes.  We're being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and they've provided us with some adorable images to use to inspire you.

Based on all of the above, I chose "My Little Cook" and simply adore her!

Isn't she too cute?  She's colored with copics and I added some Stickles to her hat, hair ties, blouse, apron, and socks.  She's cut out with my floral oval by Nestabilities and the flowers are a punch from McGill and the branches are a punch from Martha Stewart.  The papers are from BasicGrey and Graphic 45 (I am trying to use all my scraps, can you tell?) and the gems are from Studio G.  I added some distressed ink in Scattered Straw around the frame and the sentiment.

Here's a closer look at her.  I can just see one of my girls standing up on that little stool wanting to held their dad flip burgers or face a crowd and yell, "The burgers are done!"

I plan on entering her in the following challenges:

Craft Your Passion - Red, white and blue
Crafty Cardmakers - Holidays
Digi Darla's Challenge - Stars and Stripes

Happy Anniversary Release from Sassy Studio Designs

Happy Anniversary to Lindsay, our awesome and fearless illustrator, and to one of my favorite shops of all time, Sassy Studio Designs!  Both are celebrating their fourth year together and I couldn't be happier for them!  If you've been to my blog before, you know how much I love doing Sassy Studio Design new releases!  This month's release is going to be such a blast, kind of a blast from the past, and  we have such a fun release planned and I'm so excited to have you stop by! 

If you came to me from the Sassy Studio Design blog, then you're on the right track!  If not, head on over to the blog and find out all the details and all the fun twists in this release!  We each have an image and picked an anniversary and designed our projects around what is suggested as a gift for that particular year. I was so excited to get Tinkersassy and if you know my blog and of my love for Tinkerbell, you can see why I was so thrilled!  Isn't she fabulous?  See if you can figure out what year of anniversary I chose to celebrate.

When I got assigned my image for this release, I was over the moon!  The only thing was, I wasn't exactly sure how to get to the moon.  I love to fly and if I could have a super power, it would be to be able to fly.  Well,I can't fly but Tinkerbell sure can!  She can pick her own way of getting around and all it takes is a bit of pixie dust.  We have to have cars with gas, or a bike or skates.  Think of all the different ways we can get around.  After so many years, don't you think a girl deserves to travel  in style?  Well, for her anniversary, I'd like to think that Peter Pan tried to make her travelling a little bit more comfortable for her.  He got her a kite!

Wasn't that thoughtful of him?  It's got all the modern conveniences and gadgets.  She's colored with copics and her wings are covered with Stickles or pixie dust as I like to call it.  her kite is made up of scraps from BasicGrey and Graphic 45.  She's all decked out with a clock so she'll be able to arrive on time and the kite is sprayed with Goose Bumps to give it some texture and protection from the night air.

If you look closely behind her, she's got some stars embossed on her background that act as her GPS!  The flowers and pearls are just because a girl needs something classy when she travels!

Here's a close up of this beauty. I love her in red, white, and blue!  I think it's appropriate for this time of the year.

Here's a closer look at the flowers.  I combined some patriotic colors and like how they came out.

Here's a view of the tail.  I used some baker's twine from The Twinery, and added some handmade flowers there as well.

And now you get a full view of her new wheels:

Right Through My Heart

I was looking through some of my papers yesterday and got so excited when I found this sweet Tilda that I had totally forgot that I had stamped up and hadn't colored her yet!  I know she's an older stamp, but gosh, they need love too.

I think Right Through My Heart Tilda is perfect because she reminds me of the Archery team from the Olympics, which I am going to miss and am already looking forward to the winter ones in 18 months, and one of my favorite books I've recently read, The Hunger Games, that is coming out on DVD next week!  I've gotta pick it up as soon as it's in the stores.

I colored her with copics and yep, used Stickles around the dress and on the arrows.  This gorgeous paper is from Graphis 45 called Le Romantique.  I added some flowers with stickles at the bottom to kind of make it look like she was standing in a field with dew on it (Katniss would go hunting early in the morning, hence the dew/stickles!).  I used a piece of silver from the stem of some bridal flowers on the bow.  Instead of ribbon, I used some Scrapper's Floss and a wooden button and gold heart.

Here's a close up of her.  I love her concentration!

I added a flower to the inside and thought she came out pretty nice.

I am entering her in the following challenges:

Tuesday Throwdown

Hope everyone is having a great day!
