Make your Sassiness POP!!

Hey there blog world and welcome to another Dare to Be Sassy Thursday challenge! :) This week, we are asking players to make their images POP!!

I don't know about you, but I LOVE using pop dots... I tend to FORGET I have them until it's too late, and then when I DO want to use them, I have to dig all over the place because they never seem to be where I WANT them to be, but I love them anyway! :)

So I played with Strawberry Shortcake Honey for this challenge, an image that I have had on hand but have been DYING to ink up for ages! Isn't she a cutie?

I colored her in with my RV copics (I rarely use them, I'm sad to admit!!) and then I found the two Prima roses that matched perfectly in my stash (literally deep down in a bucket), so I knew this one was meant to be! :) Of course, I popped up the image with pop dots and added some little embellishments to finish her off. I have this one in the "student" pile and I just have to figure out which student is "Sweet" enough for her! :)

I will be submitting this lil honey into the following challenges:

Through the Craft Room Door (Anything Goes)
Fan-Tastic Tuesday (Sweet)
Eureka Stamps (Anything Goes)
Oozak  (Anything Goes/Love)
Hiding in my Craft Room (For a loved one)

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day!

Good friends...

Hey there!! This week's challenge at Inky Impressions is to create a Monochromatic project... I have to admit, monochrome is hard for me to really do, since I love my colors! :)

I played with Cat Love (Heart Tails) for this card, and I inked up the image with all the Blues and Blue Greens I have on hand! :) I used BG000 for the lightest areas, B000, B00, B02, B06, B26, B41, B45, B95, and B91 (see, ALL my blues!!) for the lil kitties, and then I inked the ribbon up with Stormy Sky distress ink... Some blue bling and stickles completed the effect! :)

 

I love how the night sky came out, but I want to play with this image again using regular colors cause I would LOVE to give the cats "fur" when I can use all my other colors! :) It'll be interesting to play with them again, since I usually only do images of people... :) I love the challenge!! 

Speaking of challenges, I will be submitting this card to the following sites:

 Cards und More (blue and white)

Clear it out (Use up your blues)

Partytime Tuesdays (Anything Goes)

It's a bright and not so sunny Monday!!

Hey there blogland and happy freezing Monday! :) It is COOOOLLLLDDD outside! At least here in Northern NJ it is!! Rumor has it that the West Coast is enjoying balmy 80 degree days, but those seem like a myth to me at this point! :)

This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is to incorporate dots or stripes into your project... AND we had the chance to be sponsored by the ever fun Bugaboo Stamps! :)

I played with Stella Birthday Fireman Call and I had sooo much fun with this one... :)

 

Is it mean that I have this card in mind for my Nana's birthday in October??? :) 

So what are you waiting for? Crack out your favorite polka dots and stripes and get crafty! :)

I will be sending this one in for the following challenges:

Delicious Doodles (Ribbon) 

Digitally Sweet (Digi image, anything goes)

Frosted Designs (Polka dots)

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week!

Sassy Sentimentality...

Hey there Sassy bloggers and welcome to another DTBST challenge! :) This week was truly a challenge for me!! :) I am soooo not the Queen of puns or punny statements, and this week's Sassy Studio Design's challenge is to incorporate a Sassy Sentiment into your project... Sheesh. It took me FOREVER to come up with this "Honey Do" list for my boo...

I just could NOT think of anything Sassier, and although I KNEW I wanted to play with this Curvy Babydoll Sassy image, I was stumped thereafter! :) 

Soooooo... I'll be submitting this card to the following challenges: Seems a Little Sketchy (Sketch), Through the Purple Haze (colors - Pink and Brown!!), and Craft Dee Bowz (Anything goes with a handmade bow). Thanks for swinging by!!

Guess who's an INKETTE!! :)

Hey there!!! Adina here with some COOOOLLLL news... :) I am officially an INKETTE! :) I absolutely love the sweet whimsical stamps that Nicole designs for Inky Impressions, and I have been a fan for quite a while... :) But when I threw my hat into the ring for the Design Team, I really didn't think I had a chance. I mean, some FABULOUS designers are gracing the team, and I don't compare!! :)

But whoo hooo! I'm in, and I got to play along with one of my favorite Inky Impressions images, Angelica Crating, for this week's "Ribbons" challenge!

For this piece, I chose to use a template I purchased from Paper Trey Ink to create this handy dandy folder thingy... 

It has a lil note pad on the left, space to hold a pen (made out of ribbon) and an envelope for notes or receipts or whatever, lol... 

I colored the image with copics (what else?) and I FINALLY got to play with papers in my stash from Basic Grey that I have been hoarding since like forever... :) 

I'll be submitting this one to All Crafts Challenges (Anything but a card), Artistic Inspirations (Anything goes, Ribbon), Craft Dee Bow (Anything goes with a Bow), and Make it Monday (Anything Goes). 

Thanks for swinging by and have a craftastic day!!!

Shabby and Chic... Just my style! :)

Hello there bloggers and happy Thursday!! I am sooo glad the week is almost over... It's sad sometimes that after a vacation we still long for the weekends, isn't it? Well, that's where I am today lol! :) I jumped into Monday making plans for the weekend, so I guess I set myself up that way! :)

Anywhoo, this week's DTBST challenge is "Shabby Chic" which is EXACTLY how I would love to describe my style...

So I used one of my favorite Sassy images, the lovely Elizabeth Bennet...

I will be submitting this one to Penny's Paper Crafty (Embellishments), Inky Chicks (Anything Goes) and Miriam's Crafting (Flowers). Thanks so much for swinging by and have a beautiful day! :)

Hugs,

Do you have a case of the Mondays??

Do you remember that movie Office Space? It's a classic in my house, and we often wake up Mondays with the "Mondays" look... Yup... It's another Monday! :)

But another Monday means another challenge at Craft Your Passion! :) This week's challenge is wintery colors like the ones below:

And we had the opportunity to be sponsored by Delicious Doodles for this challenge, so I chose to play with Leading Dolphins as I reminisced about my college days when a group of friends and I chose Dolphins to be our mascot... Wow, those were the days... :)

So crack out your wintery palettes and play along for a chance to win your own Digis from our wonderful sponsor!

Thanks for swinging by and have a very Crafty week!

Hugs,

You still have some time!! :)

There's still time for you to play along with Craft Your Passion's "Fancy Border/Edges" challenge this week!! I had the chance to play with Stitchy Bear's Ellie May for this week's challenge, and I cracked out my Martha Stewart Lace border punch for this one (still a classic favorite in my book!!)

Thanks for swinging by and have a great day!!

Time after Time

Hello there blogland and Happy New Year!! As my vacation winds down, I have to say that I am VERY happy to begin 2014, and I look forward to sharing my crafty journey with you this year! :)

This week's DTBST challenge is called "Time after Time" and we are asking that you please use some sort of "time" feature...

For this card, I played with Evanora because we have been watching the movie Oz the Great and Powerful ALLLLLLL Christmas break long! :) My kids love it... It's actually on RIGHT now as I type, true story. :) She is a brandy new Sassy image for me, so it was TOTALLY fun to color her up and get her posted!

I will be submitting this one to The House that Stamps Built (New), and Inky Impressions' Anything Goes challenges. Thanks for swinging by and have a blessed 2014!!!

New Year, New Home and other celebrations...

Happy New Year!!! As I wrote the title to this blog post, I thought to myself "Self, will your readers think that you have a new home by reading this post?" WELLLLL, nope, that's not what the "New Home" is celebrating this time around, and for now that's A - Ok with me! :)

This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is anything "New" including (you guessed it!) new homes! :) So I made this card using the Mushroom Palace from The Paper Shelter to help someone ELSE celebrate their new home in the new year! :)

I had tons of fun NOT coloring this precolored digi and then popping up the mushroom caps for some... well, pop. :) The image was a bit daunting when I looked at it clear and uncolored so I was VERY grateful that it came precolored too! :) 

Thanks for swinging by! I will be submitting this one to The Paper Shelter's Anything Goes challenge for good measure as well! :) 

Hugs,

Adina
