SSDS Week 24 ~ Think Spring

Hello there...hope you are enjoying your Saturday! We are still working on DD's room so no big plans for the weekend. Hubby is going to a Cav's game tonight and me and the kiddos are going to have pizza and start putting together a new 1000 piece puzzle...Woohoo!!

Anywho, It is time for another awesome challenge from Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday. This week we want you to Think Spring, you can create anything you want as long as you use a Spring theme for your creation. Our sponsor this week is Revidevi, be sure and stop by her Etsy shop to see all her adorable digi images.

When I think about Spring, the first thing that comes to mind is Spring Showers. So I decided to use this new digital stamp from the Greeting Farm called WS Rain Rain. I printed the image out on white cs and onto Sassafras Lass DP so that I could paper piece her coat, hat and boots. The CS and saddle stitch ribbon are Raspberry Fizz from PTI and the DSP is Sunshine Lollipop from Sassafras Lass. I used pink pearls around the image and for the buttons on her coat. The sentiment is from Scattered Showers by PTI.

To join in on the fun and be eligible for this weeks fabulous prize and check out all the fabulous creations from the Design Team. Head over to the SSDS blog and link your creation to Mr. Linky by 10:00 pm (EST) Friday evening.

Thanks for stopping by,

Countdown to Grand Opening ~ Simply Sassy Designs


Hi all! Wow, I am just crazy busy trying to get a few projects completed for the Grand Opening Party for Simply Sassy Designs!! I have only been on the team a day so I don't have a whole lot to share just yet, but you can check out the rest of the Simply Sassy Design Team for some amazing cards and projects.



I was able to get one project done that I am going to share now so you can get a idea of the wonderful products available at Simply Sassy Designs.

I used this adorable Swinging Sarah image available here. I printed the image on PTI Select White CS and colored her with PrismaColor Markers. The dress is paper pieced and I added a little white bow to her hair.

The sentiment was computer generated and printed directly on the Rasperry Fizz CS. The stitching along the edge of the card is a rubon and that adorable crocheted flower was purchased from One Life Rose.

Make sure you swing by the Ning Network of Card Universe and RSVP for our Challenges, Contests and so much more. The first 10 people to RSVP will receive a free image of their choice!!

Also, remember to swing by Store and use coupon code: fireworks4u to get 25% off your entire purchase.

CAS23 ~ Elephant {Hello}

Hello again!! Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. So the CAS Challenge at Splitcoast today was an inspiration challenge. You had to go to http://www.art.com/ and pick a picture for inspiration. I chose this adorable pic.

I love this Elephant stamp set from Hero Arts and I was glad to finally ink it up. The elephant is paper pieced using a great digital paper set from
Jeanelle Paige available at a A Cherry On Top. The little butterfly and sentiment are $1 Stamps from Joann's.

Oh and I almost forgot, in honor of my one year without smoking, my amazing hubby took me shopping and bought me three sets of nestablities. I have been wanting to try them forever and now that I have...I can say they are definitely worth the hype!!

Thanks for stopping by,
