Happy 5th Birthday Sassy Studio Designs!

Hi everyone!
Thanks for dropping by to share in Sassy Studio Designs' FIFTH Birthday!  What a wonderful milestone!

We're having a blog hop to show off some fantastic new images.  You should have arrived from Adina's blog.  I hope you spent some time commenting on her beautiful work - she's soooo talented!

To celebrate this big occasion I'm using Sassy Cake 2. In tradition SSD style she's super hot! I especially love her hair.


She certainly doesn't need to be for birthday only - she could be anniversary or congratulations too!

Please leave a comment below (as well as every stop along the way) for your chance to win, and continue hopping over to our super talented designer, Lindsay's blog.  Did you know she designs all these images herself??  Be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday!

SSD Flashback Friday - Garter Sassy

Happy Friday!  I'm so excited for the weekend - and the whole week actually as I'm on vacation and plan on spending a lot of time colouring!

This week SSD is featuring the beautiful and ever sexy Garter Sassy, so pick her up for a special sale price.  I love her!  I had a favourite pic of my putting the garter on my best friend while we got ready for her wedding, so I used this gal to create a layout with that picture.


And here she is close up....


The other DT members have come up with some super cute ways to use Garter Sassy, so please check them out here.  Have a great weekend!

SSD New Release - SentiMints

Hi Everyone
Well it's late here....like really late.  I had a great night out with friends, got home all ready for bed, and went "uh oh....my card is supposed to go live in two hours!!!".

Luckily for me SSD images are so easy to work with they practically create the cards all one their own.  Between the cute images, and these brand new SentiMints, I was able to put this together in under an hour!  Sometimes a cute phrase is all you need to pull it together.


Here I used Madam Honey with the Sentimint "Longer You Live".  I coloured her with Copics, and added some Liquid Glass to her crystal ball to make it stand out.


To celebrate this new release, we're having a blog hop and party chat.  For a chance at winning an awesome prize, please play along!  All you have to do is stop at each spot along the way and leave a comment - it's that easy!  Each DT member will choose a random winner out of the comments to win the SentiMint they used in their project.  

If you're arrived from our awesome guest designer Granne you're in the right place.  If not, I've included the order below.  Now you're off to see my sassy sister Sheena next - be sure to show her some well deserved love!!!  And that's me done - finally off to bed

Happy 5th Birthday Sassy Studio Designs!!!

Hi everyone!
I'm not sure about you, but when the beautiful weather comes I tend to craft less.  It's hard to stay inside when it's so beautiful outside!  Especially here in Ontario when we need to take advantage of the few short warm months we get.
If you find you're already losing your colouring-mojo, I have a deal that's sure to inspire!  This month we are celebrating Sassy Studio Designs’ 5 year birthday!!!  We have a very special deal for you this month as we are offer 5 images for $5.00
Yep that’s right 5 of Lindsay’s very first images she created when she opened the doors to Sassy Studio Designs!!
You will receive Cellphone Cindi, Fabby Gabby, Princess, Jenny June Bride and Sassy Cassie.  Go here to check them all out!



I used the image Princess.  I fell in love with the expression on her face.  And the feathers in her hair inspired me to use them on the card too.  
Check out what the other DT members did with their images on the Sassy Studio Designs Blog.  Pick them up for this fantastic price while you can, and get crafting!!!

Time for Tea!

Good morning everyone!
Design team work keeps me busy, but every once in a while I create something else that I want to share.

My good friend decided she wanted a themed birthday party. She's that one friend (hopefully) everyone has that goes out of her way to make sure other people's days are special, so everyone was excited to play along for her.  We all dressed like characters from Downton Abbey, and we had a magical tea party in her backyard. She hung teacups from the trees, set up all sorts of Alice in Wonderland type props, played 1920's music .... it was perfect!

When I saw the Saturated Canary image "Teacups"  I knew it was meant for her! Here's what I created.



Copics used:
Skin - E000, 00, 21, 11, 04, R20
Hair - E42, 44, 47, 49
Outfit - R35, 46, 59 BG000, 01, 05, 07 E93, 95, 97


For the inside of the card I used a cutting file from the Silhouete online shop to do some pop-up teacups.




I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Lets Craft and Create - spots and stripes
The Stamping Chef - anything goes
Colour Q - challenge 245
Deep Ocean Challenge Blog - Inspired by a song (A Very Merry Un-Birthday to You)
Use your Stuff - Circles
Pile it On - use patterned paper
Avenue 613 - best friends
