Sassy Sponsorship

Yay for weekends! So glad Saturday is here and it is time for a little R&R!

Here is another sponsorship for Sassy Studio Designs. The theme is glitter, the challenge blog is Totally Papercrafts. This card is a little edgy for me, I usually go more toward girly, but have been wanting to use this new release, Sassy Skater, from SSD for a few weeks now. I couldn't resist giving her a little fun streak in her hair. Her skateboard is all glittery as is the patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you will check out the challenge for a chance to win some Sassy Studio images.

Ink: Printer, Palette Noir
Paper: PTI ssw, New Leaf, Black, Taken with Teal, DCWV stripe

Phindy's Friday Challenge

TGIF! Welcome to another Phindy's Friday challenge! This week the challenge is glitter, glitz and glamour. I've taken a playful approach to the challenge, using this little cutie, Mommy's Purse, who found her momma's makeup and helped herself. this image makes me smile. I can remember doing this myself, guess my love of makeup started early!



Here is a close up, so you can see the sparkle! The purse is coated with crystal effects to get a leathery look. Her shirt and hair bands have plenty of stickles, and the compact and other makeup are shimmering from a Sakura stardust pen.


Hope you will check out the Phindy's Challenge blog to see what the DT has created for today's challenge. Play along for two chances to win. A random winner and a top pick each win a Phindy's Place gift certificate every week. It's not necessary to use a Phindy image, but if you do, you get a second entry.

Whimsy and Stars New Release



Today is the big day! Mabelle is releasing a whole lot of wonderful new digital images! I was floored by the number and variety in this release! You can check out the whole release on the Whimsy and Stars blog, and purchase the image in the Etsy digi store.

It was hard to chose which image I wanted to use for today's card, but this little bug character "Mimi", just makes me smile! She is surely dressed to impress with her hat and dress. She was fun to color and glitter up. I used the Stamp with Fun #108 for the layout of this one.

D2D Sneak Peek

Happy Thursday! Today is the last day to enter the challenge for this week at Delightful Inspiration. So I've got a little sneak peek for you of the freebie you will get in you email box for playing along with last week's image.

This is Flutterby Fairy. Isn't she cute? So if you needed a little push to finish up your card, here she is!

She was so much fun to color. She is also very stickled up (if you click on the photo, it will enlarge it if you would like to see the sparkle). I used a simple sketch, to keep the focus on the sweet fairy. It is from SCS (sketch 330).

Now I'm off to bed!  Have a great night everyone.
