SSD New Release Hop

Welcome to the first Sassy Studio Designs

Blog Hop of the New Year!

We are having a small release this month due to Miss Lindsay...

our wonderful owner and artist...working on the "Fan Favs" for next month!

I am on pins and needles waiting to see what she has come up with!!!

You should have arrived here from the Sassy Studio Designs Blog!
(if not, go back..you don't want to miss anything!)

I will put the whole blog hop order at the end of this post!

We received two images and with Valentine's Day just around the corner; they are perfect.

I chose to use "Cupid" She is very sexy with a Steampunk vibe!

I made a pillow box that I can add some candy into to give as a V-day gift!

I added a feather and some flowers from my stash...my friend Teresa sent me a

 package awhile ago and they came from that.

I colored her with copics added some spica to her tights, bow and wing edges...then

embossed the whole thing with embossing powder.

As for the blog hop....

You have a chance to win both images....

Just comment on each blog and a name will be chosen randomly from the comments!

Sassy Studio's Fabulous Freebie Friday!

Time for the next FREEEEEEEBIEEEEEEEEEEEE...

Make sure you get over to PCP and pick her up NOW!

Don't wait...she will only be available for 24hrs!

The image this week is named Winter Wendy and the theme is....

Bottle It Up!!!

You must use something from a bottle...stickles, gloss, liquid pearls etc...

I had a lack of mojo the last week or so and it was a bit

taxing trying to come up with something...then I remembered...

I hadn't used anything from my Taylored Expressions kit from December...

so I pulled it out and there were these adorable penguins!

I figured it was perfect for Winter Wendy!

You cannot tell by the photo but when the stickles dried the hat and her hand

pop out a bit...given Wendy a bit more dimension.

Since I have no clue as to the type of card this will turn out being I left the sentiment off and the inside blank!

I used distressed pink stickles for the sweater and silver stickles for the scarf and hat.
I also used a Viva Decor pen on my flower and leaves. I was worried how it would
dry on the ribbon...it is a glubber circle that the ribbon is wrapped and twisted to.

We are having a blog hop tomorrow so come back around for that!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
HUGS!!!

It's An Anything Goes Challenge!

This month at Scrapper's Delights we are having not only

a huge sale but a fantastic challenge!

It is an anything goes challenge for the month of January!

You can get all the deets on the website.

I made a keepsake box for my daughter for Valentine's day.

I was worried never having tried this before.

I found a few tutorials but this one seems to be the best. They call it a "drop spine box".

I wanted to make it a different size so I came up with my own size.

 I made it to hold 5 1/2 square cards but decided to use it

as an actual box for Jenna!

I used the new "Love Fairy" that will be released on the 16th!

Get ready there will be several new items released this month!



I messed up on the larger fairy...when I went to put versa mark on it for the

embossing powder I grabbed the frost one rather than the clear!

But it still turned out pretty good!

For my first try! LOL

I colored the images with copics and prisma markers, added chrome

letters from my stash, beads from Micheals, flower from prisma and rhinestones from Recollections!

Can't wait to see what you create for this months challenge!

HUGS!!!!

My TIP:

Measure twice and then cut...especially if you only have two

 pieces of the paper and it is a huge project!

AND don't forget the ribbon tie...like I did!

Let's Get Sketchy

Today at Guylou's Inimitability we are starting our next challenge

and this week our fearless and most talented leader has chosen a sketch...

Pretty cool huh?

Here is my take:

 I tried to make it more 3-d but the picture doesn't allow that to really come across!

I used one of Guylou's latest images called cat in the window.

I used the sentiment Missing You because he looks like he is waiting for someone to come home!
I hope you like it!
Make sure you link up your projects on the challenge blog
and follow all the rules!
It's today through the 19th!
