Just Because

Good Monday morning!  Hope all is well with you!  The card I have to share with you is a “just because” card or a “happy accident”.  I got this cute little image from Tickled Pink Stamps for my DT card at Card Makin’ Mamas.  Well, I was just going along and got my card done, and what happened?  I realized that I had a photo to work with, as in photo inspiration!  DUH!!!  So, I have an extra card to share.  The sketch is from Sketch and Stash.

I love the way it turned out, so of course I had to share!  She’s all colored in copics, and the papers are actually Echo Park, Be Mine collection!  Thanks for stoping by and have a wonderful day!

After Much Anticipation…

…it’s FINALLY here!!!  Sassy Studio Designs is releasing 5 new images!  This release is the 2nd half of the fan requests.   And we are celebrating our new Design Team.  This time around we decided to switch things up, and have a few teams.  So….you should have gotten here from the lovely Ruza’s blog.  I’m using the new renaissance Sassy image, isn’t she gorgeous?! 

Ok, onto the fun stuff.  Rebecca has asked us to tell you about our favorite crafty tool and our least favorite.  Well, the least favorite is super easy.  One Christmas my mom wanted the making memories “tag curler”, so I got it for her.   And after seeing her use it, I thought I had to have one!  Well, I got it, and have NEVER used it!!! This was at least 3 years ago.  I did try it once, and just couldn’t get it to look right. 

Now, my favorite tool is a little bit harder-I have so many I LOVE!  So, I tried to think about what I use all the time.  I came up with my Tim Holtz scissors with the distressing edge on them.   OH MY GOODNESS, I love these things, they are sharp, and stay sharp!  They are the perfect thing to use to distress.

Would you like to have some of these new Sassy’s?   Well, here’s  a couple of ways for you to get your hands on them.  The first prize is 3 of these amazing new image.  You will need to leave a comment on the Sassy Studio Designs blog telling us what your most/least favorite tool is.  Next, you have the chance to win 1 of these images by leaving everyone some love along the way.  There will be 2 random winners chosen this way.   And don’t forget that we will be chatting tonight on the SSD party blog.  It starts at 7 pm P.S.T., don’t miss it! 

Now, it’s time for you to visit Shari, and see what she has for you!  Here’s a list of all the DT members in case you get lost along the way.
