Sassy Studio November blog hop

November 1st already!?  How did that happen?

Today is release day at Sassy Studio Designs.  Lindsay is releasing some great and very sassy holiday images.  We are having a little blog hop (with prizes of course)!  So it you arrived from Larisa's blog, you are in the right place.  If not head over to Sara's blog, to start at the beginning.  As you hop along you need to collect all the ingredients for a Christmas dinner.  We will each have part of the menu for you to collect.  You will finish up on the SSD blog and get the info for emailing your answers there.

My first card uses Sexy Santa, she is colored with copics, and glammed up with some liquid applique.  Card stock  is all PTI, and patterned paper from DCWV.  Embellished with a nestie snow flake die cut and PTI button.

And this one uses Christmas Present.  She is colored with copics and embellished with a sakura glitter pen.  Again I used PTI card stock and DCWV patterned paper.  Finished it with Bo Bunny brads a nestie label die cut, PTI ribbon, SU corner rounder and a MS border punch.

Your next stop along the hop is the talented Amanda, you're in for a treat, she made a sample for each of the new images!  The menu items you need from me are corn and gravy.  Hope you will join us later tonight (9 EST) for a party on the SSD party blog.


Thanks for stopping by today hope you are having a great day!

Girls Night Out

Happy Halloween! We enjoyed our day.  My dad was visiting, so he gave out candy and we both took the kiddos out trick or treating, much easier with two of us.  They had a great time.  We didn't go too far, but they really enjoyed it, and were so excited for all the candy!

I made this one for one of the HYCCT challenges on SCS.  It was to make a card for a girlfriend with a coordinating sentiment.  I think this sentiment is so cute, it cracks me up!  The image, Girls Night Out and senti are both from Rubber Romance.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you had a happy and safe Halloween.

All Natural Sassy Woman

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring The One Stop Craft Challenge Blog this week.  The theme is anything goes, so go ahead and give it a try for a chance to win 4 SSD images.

I made this card for the Paper Sundaes challenge #41 this week,  A Natural Woman.  Being outside in the snow is my favorite.  I'm not a naturey type girl, but do love winter and snow.  So this is my natural woman!

The colors are from the HYCCT15 challenge, and the sketch is SC303.

Scarecrow Teddy

Been trying to get to the Midnight Madness (MMSC77) sketch all week!  Finally got it done.  I used this adorable little Scarecrow Teddy from Designed2Delight.  I love fall colors so I had fun coloring him yesterday.

I hope you are having a great weekend.  Fall is in the air here, it is so crisp and cool.  Will be great for Trick or Treating tomorrow night.  My hubby has his new toy out today and is smoking massive quantities of meat.  He got a smoker about a month ago, so our weekends have been full of smoking meat!  He's got ribs, wings, sausage and a whole chicken going right now.  Not real sure what we'll do with all this meat.  I can only eat so much meat, LOL.  We'll have to give some away or freeze it.  Smells great already.

Thanks for dropping by, hope you have a great weekend.

Sassy Snowgirl

Got a little sneak peek of one of the new releases from Sassy Studio Designs, this Sassy Snowgirl will be released on November 1.

I used the sketch from SCS this week (SC304) for her, and I'm also sending her in to the HYCCT challenges.  This is the gilmmer mist challenge.  I actually used my Smooch Spritz to spray the image, so it really sparkles in real life.

Thanks for dropping by today.  Hope you are having a great week.

Stamps:  SSD Snowgirl
Ink:  Printer
Paper:  PTI ssw, black, Pure Poppy, MM black and white print
Embellishments: copics, nesties, offtay ribbon, dimensionals, cuttlebug embossing folder, spica pens, Smooch Spritz

Orange Roses

Here is my take on Mercy's Tuesday sketch from this week (MTSC97).  I love the roses from Designed2Delight's Beautiful Life set.  They are jus so pretty and so much fun to color.  

My mom loved roses and had many bushes.  She had a real knack with them.  The sentiment seemed appropriate since I've been thinking about her a lot the last few days.  On my kids' birthdays I really miss her and wish they had gotten the opportunity to meet her.  I tell them about her, but it isn't the same. Yesterday was Lilah's first birthday and I was thinking how my mom would have loved to be a part of her life.  Didn't know I was going to get all personal and sentimental with this post, but sometimes that's how things work out.  I do have two big pots of meatballs (my mom's recipe) simmering away on the stove today, although I never can seem to get them to taste exactly like hers, hubby says I'm pretty close.

And here is a little picture of Lilah having her first ever cupcake!  Oh my gosh, she LOVED it.  There wasn't a crumb left.  I think she couldn't believe how sweet it was, she hasn't had any sugar at all before this.  I make her baby foods with whole foods.  She was thrilled, and super wound up from sugar afterwards.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope your week is going well!

Magnolia-licous October Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop

Welcome to the Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long blog hop.  Once a month on the 25th, some of the members of the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group have a blog hop with Christmas cards.  Great way to work on those cards year round.  If you arrived from Jessica's blog, you are in the right place.  If you get lost along the way, you can see the full list on the Magnolia-licous Christmas All Year Long Blog.

This adorable Tilda with Violin image came to me from my friend Linda.  She was so much fun to color, I think I'll be adding this one to my next order.  Diana has a great selection of Maggies at the Magnolia-licous web shop.

I'm entering her into two challenges.  Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge #47, which is to use flowers this week.  Also, entering into the ABC Christmas Card Challenge.  They are on the letter V.  The vertical sketch is for letter V and I used an image with a "v"iolin, and lots of the color "v"iolet.  Such a fun challenge, I had a blast trying to come up with some V items.

Thanks for stopping by today, now hop on over to the talented Leonie's blog and see what fabulous project she has crafted.
