Anything Goes at Corrosive Challenges

Welcome to another Corrosive Challenges challenge.  We are sponsored by the fabulous A Day For Daisies.  Right now, ADFD is giving away this adorable image called Snowman Scott.  How great is that?!  Our challenge is Anything Goes.  When I saw this little cutie I knew I definitely wanted to do one thing to it and that was to give him a belly button.  I just felt like he needed one.  Don't you agree?

I colored Snowman Scott with a few Copics.  I also added some glitter glue.  I cut him out and popped him up with SU dimensionals.  I used my MS drippy goo punch for the snow/icicles. I also used some MS snow glitter to the icicles.  I wanted to keep this clean and simple to match the snowman.

Please head over to Corrosive Challenges and check out what the rest of the design team has done for your inspiration and then check out ADFD to get your own free snowman.

Thanks for stopping by.

Make a Scene

Welcome to another Sassy Studio Designs Fabulous Freebie Friday.  Today's challenge is called "Make a Scene".  SSD gives away a free image every Friday on Paper Craft Planet.  Today we have background images for you.  I am using the underwater scene.  I paired it with this beautiful mermaid.  I colored everything with Copics.  I added some glitter glue on the bubbles and a little on her tail.  I cut the mermaid out and popped her up with some SU dimensionals.  I spent a bit of time putting sun beams coming into the water and it ended up covering them up.  I didn't like the mermaid just loose in the scene.  I felt like she really needed to be matted.

I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving today.  I spent the day with my in-laws.  Then my husband and I spent the evening playing with our beautiful feathered babies.  They are so amazing.  I swear they knew it was Thursday today.  Ferguson (my blue and gold Macaw) kept telling me to go to work.  I kept telling him it was a holiday but he wouldn't stop telling me to go to work.  He is so funny.

Please head over to the Sassy Studio Designs Paper Craft Planet group to get your free image.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

SANTA CANDY

Check out this awesome candy offer from At Studio D!  Here's hoping I get an early Christmas present!

The Joy of Giving Release

Thanksgiving is almost upon us and that means Christmas is right around the corner.  Sassy Studio Designs is releasing some amazing new Christmas images.  This lovely lady is called Santa Pinup.  I absolutely love this image.  I wish I looked like this.  I have blond hair and I love green but that's about it. 

The challenge we were given was Vintage Shabby Chic.  My first thought was no bright colors, which is a hard one for me.  I LOVE bright colors.  My next thought was green as it is my favorite color.  When I think about something shabby I think of an old rickety fence so I used a fence punch on the brown paper.  I colored Santa with Copics, cut her out and popped her up on SU dimensionals.  I used distress ink on all the papers.  The lovely gems are from some fabulous blog candy I received from Kim.  She sent me some really wonderful things.  Thanks Kim.  

For this release SSD is not doing a blog hop.  But that doesn't mean we don't have prizes.  Make sure you head over to Sassy Studio Designs and check out all the details.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Immortal Love

Welcome to another Fabulous Freebie Friday from Sassy Studio Designs.  Today, SSD is offering this image called Immortal Love for FREE!  Just head over to our Paper Craft Planet group and get your very own.

I used Copics to do the coloring, cut it out and popped it up on SU dimensionals.  The designer paper is from DCWV's Immortal Love collection.  The challenge is Sparkle.  The paper had sparkle on it already and the cardstock has shimmer.  I added some stripes of glitter in the corners.

Word to the wise, when you want to put glitter on Edward, make sure you grab the right one.  I wasn't paying attention to the tube I grabbed and I am not so happy with the result but I am sure a true Twihard won't care which glitter I used.

Please head over to PCP and get this image before it is gone.  You only have 24 hours.  Make sure you find your way to the main SSD blog.  We have a release happening this weekend.  You won't want to miss.

Thanks for stopping by and have an amazing day.

Flutter By

Welcome to another great Corrosive Challenges challenge.  This fortnight challenge is Flutter By.  You must use something with wings in your project.  We are sponsored by A Day for Daisies.  I used this adorable bird.  As you know, my husband and I have 5 parrots.  My husband has recently decided he wanted an outdoor bird family as well.  He started with just a few feeders and is well on his way to being obsessed.  He even takes our parrots over to the window to watch the wild birds eat.  I was inspired by our new family of birds when I made this card.

Masculine is not my forte but I gave it a whirl.  I wanted to go as natural as I could for this.  I used Copics, SU dimensionals, burlap, distress inks, and some Tattered Angles spray.  It didn't come out the way I planned but I hope my hubby likes it anyway.  He is so cute.  He is so happy when he watches the birds at the feeders and worries if they aren't there when he gets home from work.

Please check out A Day for Daisies and then head over to Corrosive Challenges and check out what the rest of the design team created.  And join in the challenge won't you?

I Know What You Are

It's Fabulous Freebie Friday again and just in time for the epic finale of Twilight.  Sassy Studio Designs is bringing you this fabulous image for FREE!!!!  Can you believe it?!  As you know, SSD gives away a free image every Friday on Paper Craft Planet.  Today's free image is Edward and Bella.  The challenge for today is Make it Sparkle.  You can use glitter, bling or whatever to add some sparkle to your project.

I used glitter paper.  I have to say that this picture does not do the paper justice.  It is an icy blue.  Very soft and so sparkly.  I colored the image with Copics, cut it out and popped it up on SU dimensionals. The paper is from my box-o'-scraps as is the ribbon.  I cut out the sentiment with an EK Success punch.  I also distressed all the edges with some Distress Ink.

Please head over to the Sassy Studio Designs PCP group and get your own free copy of this great image called I Know What You Are.  If you aren't a member yet, please join.  We just celebrated getting our 800th member this weekend.

Fifty Shades of Gray

If you arrived here from the amazing Erin's blog, you are on the right track.  It feels good to be back.  I have been off for a few weeks due to my work schedule.  I finally had a chance to breathe and do some crafting.  So welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs Fifty Shades of Gray hop.  SSD  has hit 800 members on Paper Craft Planet.  Can you believe it?!  It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating 700 members.  We have an amazing hop with this new 50 Shades image for you today.  We also have a challenge for you to make a card using only...you guessed it, shades of gray.  The image can be colored if  you wish.

Here is mine.  I used Copics on the image and did a simple layout.  The designer paper is from Anna Griffin. I thought about saying my home-girl Anna Griffin but I don't think I can pull that off.  The main cardstock has some great texture and shine to it.  I didn't want to lose any of that so I just cut out one row of the dp to run down the middle.  Then I popped her up on SU Dimensionals and added some studs in the corners.  

We have some great prizes if you join in the challenge.  Two randomly chosen comments will win two images of their choice.  The grand prize, chosen by the DT,  will be ALL the images released in November and a guest designer spot for Fabulous Freebie Friday on PCP.  We also have a randomly chosen challenge prize of two images from the November release.  Anyone that uses the freebie image for the challenge will get Lingerie Lindsay e-mailed to them for free as well.

Your next stop is the fabulous Star's blog.

Welcome everyone to day 2 of the Sassy Studio Designs Halloween release.  If you have arrived here from the spectacular Rina your in the right place.  If not head back to SSD and start the hop there.  

Lindsay has done a fabulous job once again.  Are you just loving these images!  I was fortunate to get the Vampire Slayer.  Buffy is one of my sister's (Rhonda) favorite shows of all time.  

This month's release comes with many prizes too.  Leave a comment on each blog and there will be a drawing for a lucky winner to receive a prize.  Then there's the Bingo contest you've been reading about.  Make a card by choosing one of the lines in the card and link up to the SSD blog.  Here is the card:

I chose the diagonal line with spider web, tombstone, free space (bones), ghost and blood.  

To color my image I used Copics of course.  The tombstone comes from Dress Me Up.  The blood border punch is Martha Stewart as are the ghosts.  The papers are from Making Memories and my stash.

My nieces wanted to play along too and so I am happy to show you Cara's card.

She did the Vampire Slayer also.  She and her sister Cortlynn are becoming quite the crafters.  You can see her blog here.  They both love to get comments so hop on over and give them some love too.

Next on your hop is the magnificent Jackie!  Don't forget to leave comments for your chance to win.  In case you get lost, here is an entire list of the hop.  Have fun!

Support the Girls

Sassy Studio Designs has rotated the teams once again and I am back on the Fabulous Freebie Friday team on Paper Craft Planet.  Today's freebie is called Support a Cause.  The challenge is called Support the Girls.  Your project must be one of encouragement or support.  You get a bonus if your project has pink in it.  I grabbed everything pink I could find and got to work.

I colored my image with Copics.  I must say I did it very quickly.  My work schedule has been crazy lately and I am trying to squeeze in my crafting when I can.  I did something I have never done before.  I purchased and used washi tape.  I am not a fan of washi tape but I believe in giving things a try.  I used it down the middle of a card where I would have normally used ribbon.  What do you think?

Please head over to the Sassy Studio Designs PCP group and check out what the rest of the team has done. Don't forget to grab your freebie while you're there.

Thanks for stopping by.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

It is time for another Corrosive Challenges challenge.  This challenge is Something Wicked this Way Comes. We are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.  This worked out great for me as I am on both teams.  I used this amazing witch image from Sassy Studio Designs.  

I started this at the last minute as I decided to treat myself to a day on the couch and I forgot about my card. I started coloring my witch, with Copics of course, and then stopped after I got the face done.  I had the desire for chocolate cake so I made one.  And then I had to make some frosting.  I did all of this with Smokie Joe (one of my parrots) hanging all over me trying to get at the cake.  She isn't allowed chocolate so I had to put her in her room.  

After I got my chocolate fix, I went back to work.  I finished coloring and then cut her out.  I popped her up with SU dimensionals.  My favorite part of this card is the green sparkle ribbon.  It is from American Crafts and I absolutely love it.  I think I might have to go back to the store and get every color they have.  I am a sparkle junkie.  

Please head over to Corrosive Challenges to see what the rest of the Design Team has done.  And then head over to SSD to see what the sponsorship team has done.  I am proud to be associated with all these ladies.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.
