Today's BIG Sassy Release & Blog Party!

CLICK HERE to head over to the party blog for the fairytale release & Masquerade ball (blog party) going on today Sat., Aug 1st.

Happy Saturday! It's about 7 in the morning right now but I'm setting my blogger to post this at 10:50am RIGHT before the release & blog party that Sassy Studio's will be having today!

I'm so sad to say that I might not make the blog party today...I was really looking forward to being here BUT my Grandfather had surgery on his heart yesterday from 3pm-8pm. It did take a lot longer then planned but he was doing good when we left the hospital last night. We were unable to see him since he got out of surgery and he was really in pain. We are headed there to the city today to go and visit him and see how he is doing. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers..it really means a lot to me and my family.

I'm still going to TRY and make it today but if I don't I wanted to share a few more projects made with Sassy Studio's NEW images with you that I made these last week. They are the Sassy Fairy of course, because you all know that's my favorite images...well on top of all the rest. I had plans on making more cards today during the party with more of the new images..but of course that didn't fall through so I will just have to share those with you during this next week!

Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL weekend!

This Sassy Fairy door hanger that I made was inspired by another ssd design member and when I seen her's just knew I had to make one of my own! Thanks Piali for your inspiration..now I have a cute little door hanger for my craft room!

Sunday's Class Projects!

So this last Sunday was the class that I do every other month here at my house! We did 2 different projects and made a little punch to add to our punch books!

The first project we worked on was this little gift card holder. I got the idea from Chic n' Scratch. You can go to her website and she has a step by step video tutorial..isn't that so cool! Just click on her blog name above and it will take you right to it! In the class we used the lion & sentiment stamp from the set called Life's a Jungle..they have adorable jungle animals in this set and it is from Close to my Heart.


The next project we worked on was a coupon book. How many of you save coupons and then forget them at home and when you get to the store say OH DARN IT! haha! Well I do this all the time! So now I have this little book to keep in my purse so that I never forget them coupons again! This idea came from the talented Valerie's tangle's blog..she was so super sweet to let me teach this to the ladies in my class! Thank you so much Valerie the ladies loved it! We used paper from the scrapbook kit called Boom-di-ada...it's also from Close to my Heart!



And here is the little cutie that we added to our punch books! We do one every other month when we meet up. Isn't this little chicky so cute?

Come back and visit tomorrow I will have some sneak peeks from Sassy Studio's NEW release. And please stop over at the Sassy Studio Designs blog there is going to be a big party going on Sat. Aug 1st with lots of prizes and fun this so for more info click on over.

New Blog Look & Swap Cards!

So who likes my new blog layout? I just LOVE Lindsay's new little fairy image that will be released to the Sassy Studio Designs this Sat., Aug. 1st! She was so kind to color the image for me and let me use it on my blog layout! So I made the whole new layout all by myself hehe! I don't know what it is about polka dots but lately I have a thing for them..I just want to paint my whole world in them haha!

I also wanted to come on and share with you the swap cards that me and the group of friends that have class all together swapped. We do this every other month so this months theme was summer and boy has it been a HOT one! I can't wait till it's over and the winter is here again!

I didn't make any cards today but I wanted to come on and share with you a card that I made the other day.

Last last night I started cleaning my craft room...When I say clean I mean CLEAN! haha! I tore the whole thing apart. Everything off the shelves to dust and I moved all the furniture to vacuum under everything. WOW! does it look good! I'm so happy that I did this because it made me organize things and put stuff where it belongs. Makes me want to go in there right now and create! hehe! but it's late so I won't but tomorrow Trish is coming over so we will make some fun stuff and spend a little time in there.

Anyways, back to the card that I made. I used a digital image from Sassy Studio Designs it's called Sassy Cassie...isn't she just adorable and SO Sassy? She's one of the newest images that was just released in the store not to long ago and is up for sale here.
