Dare to be Sassy Thursday

Our challenge this week at Sassy Studio Designs is a shaped card, anything but square or rectangle. I went with a circle for mine.

I've use the Sock Hop Sweetie for the image here. She's such a cutie, and fun to color. Reminds me of Happy Days, remember that show? One of my childhood faves.

Whimsy and Stars Jolly Christmas Card

Merry Christmas! I think this will be my last Christmas card for the year. I do plan to try and make them all year long again though, so it will just be a tiny break till January!

This cutie is a digi from Mabelle RO at Whimsy and Stars Studio, called Jolly Christmas. I started with a sketch from the Outlawz, but it sort of took a direction of it's own.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a happy and healthy holiday (which ever one you celebrate)! And a wonderful New Year.

D2D Saturday Designer's Challenge

Merry Christmas Eve! Our designer's challenge at Designed2Delight this week is to make a fancy gift card holder. Don't know if you are like me, but there are a few people who I always get gift cards for (teachers, bus drivers and the teens on my list). I love to give gift cards, but like to add a little fancy presentation for them. For this one I've used a Valentine set from Designed2Delight called Love A Latte set. It's going to hold a Starbucks card, so this image is perfect.

Here is a shot of the inside. I've sewn a matching panel of the same dsp along the bottom and two sides. So, I will just slip my gift card into the pocket it makes.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a happy and healthy holiday season!

Phindy's Friday Challenge

TGIF! Time for another Phindy's Friday Challenge (this will be our last challenge of 2011). The theme this week is use your scraps. Phindy has lots of images in her shop that would work out perfectly with this challenge. 

I went with Brand New for my image this week. Love the way this tiny baby has her hand in her mouth, so realistic. I'm always in need of new baby cards and can't wait to find a recipient for this one.


It was fun to look through my scrap box and find some patterned papers to use. Lots of my scraps were really big and I felt I would be cheating to cut them down. So I dug deep and found some of my favorite papers from the DCWV Baby Girl stack. I've used this over and over and still love it. The dotted pink is the very last, I saved a 3/4 inch by 12 inch strip and actually used it up here!


Hope you will pop on over to the challenge blog and see what the DT has created this week. Play along with the challenge to win some prizes. It's not necessary to use a Phindy image, but if you do you get entered twice, so that is some pretty good incentive!

Designed2Delight designer's challenge reminder

It's mid week for the Designed2Delight challenge. This week it is a Tag You're It challenge. You still have time to play along if you want. And we all probably could use some tags with the holidays quickly approaching! I've used Trim the Tree Mouse for my tag.

With the shine on the bottle, I had a bit of a time getting a good photo, so here is a close up to see the sweet little image. Wouldn't he be perfect for a hang in there card, too? Hope you will play along with us for the chance to win some Designed2Delight images.
