A “FAN”tastic Release!

YAY!!! It’s finally here!  Today is release day for Sassy Studio Designs.  It’s been awhile since we’ve had some new SASSY’S-and boy are they worth the wait.  We are doing a hop this time around and you should have arrived here from Sassy Studio Designs.  This release is all based on your – the fan’s – suggestions.  You guys came up with some really good suggestions.  So, without anymore jibber jabber, here is what I have for you today.

WONDER REGAN

Isn’t she just the sassiest?!?  She was suggested by our very own Regan, and I’m so thankful she did.  I love this image!  Ok, onto some fun details.  Here’s the order of the hop in case you get lost along the way.

SSD ~ Me ~ Christine ~ Kathy ~ Kim ~ Julie ~ Fabiola ~ Karen ~ Kate ~ Regan ~ Rebecca ~ Robin(our guest designer) ~ SSD

A Day For Daisies Glittery Card

Good morning, hope all is well with you.  I got a chance to play along with the A Day For daisies challenge this week, and that challenge is “GLITTER”.  Of course this was easy for me, since I love glitter.  I’ve used this sweet little sundae image called “Pansy Sundae”.

I kept it very simple, which I think suits the image.  The sketch is from Cards and Things.  The paper is from a stack that I got at Michael’s, and the ribbon is vintage seam binding-all scrunched up.

I told you it was bright!  I love the daisy’s on the bottom-they are one of my fave flowers.  She’s all colored in copics with some stickles added to her hair and the center of the flowers.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

A Sweet Little Valentine’s Card

Good afternoon, hope all is well with you!  I’m on a roll-I’ve gotten another card done.  The house is sooooo quiet-all of my kids and my husband are gone!  I haven’t had a totally quiet day in I don’t know how long!  Ok, so this card features a beautiful image by Saturated Canary.  This image is called “Tressa the Princess”.

The sketch is from Stamps & Fun=Creativity.  She is all colored in Copics with some stickles added around the borders.  The challenge this week at Saturated Canary is to use punches/dies.  I used a nestability to cut the image.  I also used a scallop border punch for the middle piece.  This is being entered into the following as well:

Something New With Card Makin’ Mamas!

Good morning friends, hope all is well with you!  I know, I know-I dropped off the face of the earth.  The end of November and December were not good for us.  We’ll just leave it at that!  But, it’s a new year, and that means an all new beginning, and things WILL be better! 

This week at Card Makin’ Mamas we would love  to see something “NEW”.  This can be new paper, new stamp, anything NEW, or it could be for something new.  I did it both ways, this card is for a NEW mommy, and my punch was NEW.

Doesn’t she just look so sweet in that soft pink?!  I so wish I looked like this pregnant!  The sketch is from Deconstructed Sketches.  You have 2 weeks to play along, and I’d love to see your take on our “NEW” challenge.
