It's time for a High School Hop!

Jasmine is a Pinup

Hey there Sassy fans!! This week's Dare to be Sassy Thursday challenge is "White with a splash of color" so I pulled out my Cuttlebug, embossed a quickie card, and colored up the beautiful Jasmine Pinup in my favorite BG tones! :)

Isn't she just gorgeous?  I loved coloring in her sheer pants, and she really is one of my favorite princesses...

I will be submitting this card to the following challenges:

Outlawz Color Challenge (Turquoise, Black, and White)
Scrapbooker PhD (Bling it up)

For the Supermoms out there!

Hey there and Happy Thursday! This week's challenge at Sassy Studio Designs is... you guessed it, "Mother's Day!" :)

I played with Super Mom and my copics to get this super fun Superman type of look:

Combined with the Super Mom Logo available at the Sassy Studio Designs store, this one is totally perfect for my Step Mom who is currently helping her youngest daughter plan a wedding AND helping her hubby (AKA my dad) open a new store and run the business! :) She is the lady who TAUGHT me how to juggle multiple things at once! :)

I will be submitting this card to the following challenges:
4 Crafty Girls (Anything Goes)
Charisma Cardz (Mother's Day)
PaperCrafting Journey (Spots and stripes)
Southern Girls (Dots and Spots)

Thanks for flying by today and have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!

It's almost Mother's Day!!

Hello there and Happy Hump Day!! I'm soooo glad this week is progressing, lol, largely because Mother's Day is on Sunday and I will get to see my darling grandmother... She is suffering from Pancreatic Cancer, and because she is going through chemo, she is just not comfortable. This week she is "off" of chemo (she has three weeks on, one week off) so she will hopefully be in good spirits when I see her!!

This card was made to make her smile, and features "Sent with Love" in honor of this week's Mother's Day challenge at Inky Impressions.

I used a lil piece of Graphic 45 paper that was laying in my stash and colored the image in with some soft toned copics to match. I will be submitting this card to the following challenges:

Crafty Sentiments (Anything Goes)

Inky Chicks (From the Heart)

Sweet Stamps (Mom)

Tuesday Throwdown (Special Lady)

Thanks for swinging by and have a great day!!

My first Christmas Card!! :)

Now this really is a first... I have never made a Christmas Card in MAY!!! :) July, yes, but May, no! :) BUT this week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is to be "Funny" and my funniest images/sentiments are from Bugaboo's Christmas selections... I absolutely LOVE them! I have the Gus Pimpin' his Ride (Christmas sleigh) too, so that's the next one I want to play with!! :) This time I used Gus Going to Town...

Isn't he a cutie!! I added Glossy Accents to the bottles and his glasses, but I didn't have a chance to get an angled photo of it... :)

I will be submitting this one to the following challenges:

BUT the darling Lindsay is totally on board with a Star Wars theme, and she is offering up Princess Leia Sassy AND Greg's new "May the Fourth Be With You" Sentiment for a discount at the Sassy Studio Designs Store this week!

Hi there! Here in Northern NJ we are having the coldest rain spell and it is absolutely demoralizing, lol! I mean, where is the Spring!!!??? I even went ahead and altered a beer bottle into a vase so that I could usher in the Spring at home, but my tulips are drowning out there!! :)

I guess the fact that Nickie is holding an umbrella is more appropriate than I thought!! :) I made this project for our "Anything Goes" challenge at Inky Impressions this week, and I do hope you use YOUR inside time to come get crafty with us!! :) 

I will be submitting this ;project to the following challenges:

Crafty Creations (Anything but a card)

Let's fly away...

Happy Monday blogland! This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is "Anything that flies" and we are asking for you to incorporate a flying creature (lol) into your projects...

Our sponsor is The Doodle Garden, and I played with Little BeeBee for this one...

I colored her in Green because my school's mascot is the "Green Bee" so I'm on the jump for next year's senior palancas! :)

I will be submitting this one to the following challenges:

613 Avenue Create (Anything Goes)

The Craft Place (Anything Goes)

For the First Time in Forever... Come Hop Along!!

Hey there Sassy fans and welcome to the April Spring Release Hop!! If you have stumbled across my blog cause you were just drawn here, because "Winter's a Good time to stay in and cuddle," then head back to the Sassy Studio Designs Blog to start at the beginning of our hop... But If you've arrived here from Melissa's blog, then you are in the right place!!

This month we are celebrating (have you guessed it yet?) a FROZEN themed release, and I am sooooo excited about this one... It's absolutely my kids' favorite movie, hands down, and even though I've seen it like five hundred times now, it's still high on my list because it features the amazing vocal talent of my favorite Broadway star, Idina Menzel... I mean, what is there NOT to love about Frozen with Idina featured in it!!??

So you KNOW I had to play along with a Frozen Elsa image along with the themed "Sentimint" created to accompany these Frozen images... I played with "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman" and used Queen Elsa with TONS of stickles, Frantage, and Flowersoft for the snowy texture...

Please forgive the funky angle, but I HAD to show off all the glitz going on here... I mean, Elsa just demands diamond stickles a plenty... :)

SOOOOOO, since we all know that "Some people are worth melting for", I'm sure that you are wondering how you can snag your very OWN Frozen themed Sassy... Well, don't go "talking to the pictures on the wall... Hang in there Joan" and instead, drop me a comment then hop on over to Kim's blog to check out HER Sassilicious creation! :)

And if you wanna join us in some more "punny" fun tonight, head on over to the Party blog to join us for a live chat at 8 PM EST... You can snag a freebie and hang out with the Designers and Artists who are bringing you this COOOLLLLL hop! :) And thank you for swinging by!!!

Spring is Sprung!!

Hello there bloggers and happy Friday!!! Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the Anything Goes Spring challenge at Creative Moments and I created this lil uplifting paper pieced card using Bubble Gum Sassy for one of my students...

It took very little coloring because of all the paper piecing, and was actually a super simple card to make, but I LOVE using verses on my cards and have GOT to be more proactive about pairing uplifting verses with my Sassy images (sometimes not too easy!) :) 

I will be submitting Bubble Gum Sassy to the following challenges:

4 Krafty Girls (Anything Goes)

Fab n Funky (Paper Piecing)

Sassy Studios is also sponsoring the Purples and Blues challenge at Charisma Cardz and the Birthday Challenge at Aud Sentiments, so I played with Bonny of the Nile (Sassy Cleopatra) for this go around...

I colored Bonnie in with copics (Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R20; Hair: C03, C05, C07, C09, BG10; Dress and jewels: BG000, BG10, BG11, BG13). I added some feathers, lace, ribbon, and bling, and this cutie was my stepmom's birthday card cause she soooo looks like her! :) 

I will also be submitting Bonnie to the following challenges:

Creative Knockouts (Anything Goes)

Add a Little Dazzle (Radiant Orchid/Anything Goes)

You shine!

Hi there blogland and happy two days after Easter!! :) People all around me are still talking about their Easter weekend, which is so nice... :)

This week, Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring TWO challenges, one at Just Inspirational (Bingo) and Tuesday Throwdown (Bling).

Here's the bingo card...

I played with the gorgeous Daphne for this one, cause I was totally shocked that I had not inked her up before!!

I colored Daphne in with copics (Skin: E000, E00, E11, E04, R20; Hair: E50, E53, E23, E25; Dress: B00, B06, B26), cut her out and highlighted her with a white gel pen. Then I hated the look of the white gel pen, so I tried coloring over it. Thus the weird shadows. :) 

I will be submitting this one to the following challenges in addition to the ones I mentioned above...

Card and Scrap (Metal)

Doodle Pantry (Digi image)

Words to Scrap by (Shine Bright like a diamond)

Thanks for swinging by and have a great day!

This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is "Pastels" and we are being sponsored by A Day for Daisies... I have to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE their images, so I always have fun playing with them! :)

I played with "Vintage Slip" WHICH is currently available as a "Freebie" at the site, so DO head on over there to play with this pretty lady before she's off the freebie list!

I will be submitting this lovely lady to the following challenges:

Fitztown (Anything Goes)
