"The Creative Knockouts" Birthday Challenge - Sassy Studio Designs


Today the "Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog" has posted a"Happy Birthday" Challenge. Our amazing sponsor this week is "Sassy Studios" and they graciously donated two of their amazing images for the design team to use. I couldn't decide which way to go so decided to use them BOTH! I have created a birthday card for my husband. I used "Handy Sassy" on the front and "Birthday Sassy" on the inside of the card. I showed it to my two son's age 15 and 25 and they both got big grins on their faces. I am sure my hubby will love it as well. So get your creative juices flowing everyone and lets see a lot of Birthday cards over at "The Creative Knockout's" Blog this week.

Here is "Handy Sassy" saying "Let's Get To Work" My hubby will give me an eye roll when he reads it because he is NOT a Mr. fix it.

Here is the inside of the card..... This is "Birthday Sassy" and she wants him to 
"Get to work eating CAKE" I think he will like Sassy don't you????

Creative Knockouts "Friendship" Challenge Design Team Card.

Hello Friends,

Today over at the Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog we are teaming up with Crafty Sentiments Digital Stamps. Our theme is "Friendship" so as soon as I saw this image I knew this little girl was going to be such fun to color. She looks a bit sad though so I thought I would turn her into a "Missing You" Friendship card. I have many friends back in Chattanooga that I miss a great deal and this card may just show up on one of their doorsteps in the upcoming weeks :-) 


 For this card I used Colorbok paper, spellbinder dies, Stampin Up! ticket punch and corner punch. I also colored the image with Copic Markers in the following colors:

E000,00,11,31,35,39,42,43,44
R20, 
BG 10,11,13
RV32,34
YG61,63

Here is a close up of this adorable image

Through the Craft Room Door ~ Pretty as a Princess!

Hello Blogland,

I hope this new post finds you well. Today over at Through the Craft Room Door challenge blog I have posted this adorable card I made while away on a scrapbook retreat in Hiawassii GA. I played with the Cricut machine while there and made this adorable castle card. I imagined it with brick or cobble stone front pieces but didn't have the paper. One of the other ladies there had her scraps with her and gave me just enough to be able to cut out this beauty! She also gave me the cloud paper for a backdrop. It is amazing what scraps can do! Thank you Kris!



The image I have used here is a Magnolia stamp named "Princess Tilda Curl" from the Once Upon A Time Collection. I have used all scraps in the making of this card and colored the image using Copic markers which are available over at OOZAK, this week's sponsor. Oozak has lots of stamps and supplies and they always have wonderful customer service. Check them out of you get a chance.

"Dreams Do Come True!" My first Design Team card for the Paper Nest Dolls!!! (Just a little excited)

Hi Friends,

Today I am sharing with you my very first DT card as part of the Paper Nest Doll's Design Team. When I began coloring stamps I fell in love with PND's because of the Artist and her husband. They work as a team and put their heart and soul's into their stamp business. This reminded me much of Randy and myself building and working our AVON business together. It is amazing when you can work side by side the one you love. Once you look at the Paper Nest Doll's  stamps you will also want to become part of the MAGIC.

This weeks challenge over at PND's Challenge blog is "Anything Goes" For my card I have used one of the new release rubber stamps named "Princess Ellie" She is 3.75" tall and is available on the website. Click HERE to order her or shop the entire Paper Nest Dolls Online Store.

 

My card is  6"x6" and is titled "Dreams Do Come True" because when I met Christine about a year ago I knew I wanted to practice until I was good enough to be a part of her Paper Nest Doll's team. With many hours of practice and hard work I have MADE IT!

Supplies Used:

Paper Nest Doll's "Princess Ellie" Stamp
Jaded Blossom Sentiment Stamp from "100% Princess" Stamp Set
Recollections Designer Paper
Flowers and brads from my stash
Spellbinders Dies
Copic Markers:
Skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Hair - E23, E25, E27
Other - RV11, Rv13, RV 14, RV17, Y15, Y17
