Secret Santa Blog Hop!

My Secret Santa was Karal.

Look at all the wonderful goodies she sent me!

A fun little Scrabook kit 

 and load full of Christmas goodies! (including a few Disney princess and frozen stickers, she knows me so well) and look at the adorable Christmas Cow Card she made for me.

So I used the Christmas Paper and Washi tapes to make this card and look at that image.... might that be a sneak peak for the January Release?!?! our Praying Portrait made a Beautiful Christmas Angel don't you think?

Being the boss can sometimes have it's benefits lol so as a special surprise, one random winner will be selected from the comment to win the angel portrait before she is even released to the public. So make sure to leave a little note at every stop on the hop in order to qualify. You have until Sunday night 12/21/14 at midnight PST to enter.

Hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season and that you all have a Merry Christmas!

Happy Release Day!

So this release was a lot of fun for me. I have to try to keep things different each release and that can be hard, and i also try to keep with the same characters so we have consistency, so we have complete lines on images, and that's fine but also it does get a bit boring after a while, you run out of ideas. and most the time I just draw digitally in the computer, Ill use the same face bases or body bases and build on those, which helps with the consistency of the images, kind of like a line of barbie dolls, different but the same. Well this release I got to put pencil to paper again and oh what a different feeling that is. most of the sketches were doodles in my school notebook....shhhhhhh dont tell my professor. and I still digitized them the same way as my other images but getting to draw on paper is just a whole different feeling. its how I started with SSD and I only went to just digital illustration after had the sassy line and honey line started. 

But enough rambling, the images are each different they are not meant to be the same which is why I called them portraits not just because they are Portraits, just faces but because they each have their own personality.

I was inspired by a halloween scarecrow makeup for the scarecrow portrait, I had also wanted it for thanksgiving. The native american was also for thanksgiving. The Sugar Skull I know was too late for Halloween or Dia De Los Muertos but I love sugar skull makeup and I pulled out some pics of myself from last years Halloween and based her on myself. butterfly Effie well was because the new hunger games movie was coming out and i always wanted to do a butterfly Effie based on her outfit in the last film but never did. and lastly praying portrait here, Was one for thanksgiving but also as we head into the holidays, or we have family or friends struggling with illnesses I find myself needing prayer a lot more and using it for others a lot more and I was just inspired by it and felt we needed a faith image in our line up.

As for my card I spent hours coloring her as its been like 2 months since I have colored anything by hand too and it was a labor of love. I am in love with this image and wanted to make her amazing. but then once she was done I couldn't figure out  what kind of card to do. I looked through every paper I own (you should see my craft room it is a pig sty now!) but none of my papers looked right they took away from her so I Kept it Simple, as prayers should often be. I used white cardstock, and black embossing powder with a sentiment stamp from The Greeting Farm. And I used pop dots to give her some dimension and bring her up off the page, and that is it.

I hope you all enjoy today's release and hop and we have challenges happening over at the SSD blog and Facebook groups, and I hope you will join in on some of them. We will also have a chat over at the party blog tonight where you can chat with some of the design team members and maybe get a sneak peak at one of Decembers images. But most of all I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving this upcoming week, and stay safe and warm with the cold weather coming in .

Stay Sassy and Sweet, 

Lindsay

SentiMints Release Day at SSD

Don't you just love these Fab SentiMints Greg Designed for us?!?! and I love that they can compliment and image or stand out on their own

Now Head to the Last stop, The SSD store

Thanks SO much for joining us on this super NEW RELEASE!!!!  Have fun hopping AND if you're free this evening from 6 PM through 8 PM (PST), swing by our Party Blog for a live chat!!!  Pop in and say HELLO!!

Happy Release Day!

Are you as Excited as I am about this release!?!?!

I don't know about you but I am absolutely in love with the Disney's Frozen Movie.

I knew when it came out that I had to add to our line up with some Sassy renditions of these Beauties, and thought they took me longer than any other image I have even done because of all the patterning on their clothing and their hair I am so happy with how they turned out and I am so excited to finally get to be sharing them with you all today! 

If you started the hop at the SSD blog and went in order you are almost at the end, and I sincerely hope you enjoyed all the amazing creations from the rest of the team today. I was intending to feature and show off the Queen Elsa image but wanted to show her with the Frozen Heart Anna image. I wanted to show them together because when I designed them I wanted them to be able to be combined together so I wanted to show you how nicely they fit together back to back.

I did kind of keep my card very simple because I spend hours coloring Anna and Elsa and wanted them to be the focus, that and I was practically falling asleep at my desk trying to finish this card for today lol

The inside I just featured a sweet sentiment that I just typed up myself. I used this once before in a birthday card for my sister and thought it was so fitting for Anna and Elsa. And Coincidentally, my sister is a blonde and I am a red head and I currently have bleached bride of Frankenstein streaks that look a lot like Anna's only difference is I am the oldest ;-)

Well if you are finishing the Hop stop by the last stop at the SSD store and leave some feedback on this months release. you must comment on all the stops of the hop to be eligible for the prize give away, and don't forget we will be meeting up on the party blog tonight at 5 pm PST so be sure to join me and some of the DT, and there is supposed to be a nice surprise for those that show up, **hint**hint**hint**

so head on over to teh store and leave some feedback for your last stop on the hop here

March Release Day!

  

Thank you for hopping by!

My Project for today's hop is using Latte Momma.

I reused a Crystal Light Container with lid and turned it into a little piggy bank of sorts. I also dug into my stash and used some unused cuts and pieces from an Old CM set of papers. I have such a bad habbit of hoarding paper and buying more and not using up my stash so I though the Idea of using what I already had also fit into the Recycling theme today. Not to mention the use of the Crystal Light Container, which also makes a good pencil box or marker box etc for kids I have one with Crayola Markers in it for my niece for when she wants to color over at my house. I used Ribbon also from my stash, around the lid and base to finish it off an make it look really nice

 So don't forget to keep track on your Tic Tac Toe Board.

 Your next stop will be over at Michelle's Blog 

So keep on going.

and if I am your first stop, head on over to the SSD site to get all the details and the full list

Have a Wonderful Weekend and I hope you will join us for a chat on the Party Blog at 5 pm PST tonight you never know what kind of surprises may be in store if you do

Happy Holidays!

(Sorry It's late in the hop guys, I fell asleep last night thinking I hit post only to find out I didn't)

It's release day over at Sassy Studio Designs and hopefully you are here as part of the hop.

We have some great new images out today to celebrate this wonderful season.

This year My family and myself went Apple Picking when we were back in Pennsylvania to visit my Sick Grandmother, and we needed a recipe to go with all those delicious apples we brought home. Now I have an aunt who is diabetic and my dad and husband and really cautious of what they eat so we used splenda and I tell you what it was perfect! So I repeated the recipe for Thanksgiving as well. and I wanted to be sure as to not loose the recipe again so I made myself this perfect little recipe card featuring the Sweet as Holiday Pie Image. 

Hope your Holidays are all just as sweet!

Now continue on the hop or head back to SSD for the list.

Make a Wish

I am so excited to be crafting alongside my team again this release! It has been so long since I got to sit and craft. Granted I am sure I will start having more time again after June 1st since I have been laid off my job :-(... but that's okay more time for crafting and new SSD images!

So this Project I used the Tin Sassy image. I love this image and intended to do a sentiment with it but after it was done i thought it was perfect as is, more a 3 d paper art than a card. My original intention was to do something along the lines of  "Missing you from the bottom of my Heart"

I used lots of glitter cardstock and pop dots  and it is gorgeous...however because f all the glitters it was very hard to get a good photo... this one shows i used a mica glitter pen to add a sheer fine glitter to her eye makeup and shows some good detail in her hair

one last shot so you can see a little of the layering that i did. and shows the ruby red stickles i used on her lips and heart, and the smokey eye shadow i gave her

Thank you for stopping by! All the new images are in the store ready to be purchased and used to create your own pieces of art. And if you followed along the hop I am almost the last stop for the day! Now head back to the SSD blog to finish up today's hop and make sure to come back tomorrow for more.

Happy Crafting!

Lindsay

Happy Release Day!

Wow it has been a long time since I have been able to post those words on my own personal blog.

It has been so long since I have been able to craft, and boy can I tell with how simple this card turned out but with how long it took me to complete lol. I am sure I will get back in the swing of things though.

So for those of you who know me or my store Sassy Studio Designs, you know I love Movies, especially Disney movies! And when I found out that Disney was doing a prequel to the Wizard of Oz I knew it was something I had to get in on. I searched out every sneak peak, interview and movie trailer or photo I could find, and with big Disney releases such as this it can be hard to find too much before the release of the film. But I was loving what I was creating. Then the movie finally came to theater and Hubby and I stayed up late and went to see the midnight showing Thursday night and it was AMAZING! and I felt 100% on track with the images I created . So I completely excited to release this release to my fans this weekend. I have 5 images so far and have plans for more to come.

But here is my card using Glinda Sassy.

I hope you will stop by the blog and check out the wonderful Hop the Design team has put together.

http://sassystudiodesigns.blogspot.com/

and you can purchase this beauty and the rest of the images at the store.

and make sure to stop in and chat with myself and the team over at the SSD party blog at 6pm PST tonight!

I might have a little surprise for those who come to hang out with us ;-)

New Years

This year I have so many things I want to do just as I have with every year before. Be more organized, Keep my house more clean, find a new job, branch out and be more successful with my freelance endeavors, loose weight, get pregnant...so many plans for this year and  though I know we may never get it all I want to push for small victories this year.

So I did start this year off ambitiously. the 1st day of the year I started sticking to my diet and my sister and I decided we were going to workout twice a day for the 1st two weeks until we went to Hawaii... but I think I wore my body down because mid way through I got sick with a terrible never ending cold from hell. of which I have still yet to fully kick. It was really bad in the beginning was out of work several days held up in bed. I did recover just enough to enjoy Hawaii but each time we traveled it seemed to restart. But my mothers 50th Birthday Celebration in Hawaii was Amazing! Hubby and I had some much needed time together and even though he originally fought me tooth and nail on going, he ended up really enjoying it! To the point where he has promised me we will go back at least every 5 years to celebrate our anniversary and was talking about doing a vow renewal for our ten year anniversary. And even talking that if we could both get jobs he wouldn't mind moving there. ...If only.... But back to reality lol, So even though the point of our trip was Mom's 50th, Hubby and I will be celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary this June So we did make sure to indulge a little for ourselves, which we did. Chris Bought me a gorgeous gold and Diamond Plumeria Necklace which incidentally has 5 petals ;-) and they symbolize Love, Faith, Devotion, Hope and Charity. What a Wonderful hubby and such an amazing and special gift. And He doesn't but me Jewelry, one we can't really afford it but I mean for him to go out and get NICE Jewelry It's something REALLY special. The ONLY other Jewelry he has ever bought me was my engagement ring and our wedding bands. So It was a very special thing for him to do.  So since I got my Anniversary gift early I thought it only fair he should get the same. And he LOVES music. He taught himself ho to play guitar on my dads acoustic and he got to use his dads electric for a bit and though we have purchased accessories or fixed things up, They aren't really HIS instruments. And the 5 year anniversary is supposed to be the wood anniversary, and we were in Hawaii so I bought him a really nice Ukulele which he has already been teaching himself how to play.

Hawaii did side track my weight loss goals briefly, but not too bad. I only gained about 5 pounds back from traveling and lost it back quickly, still struggling to get rid of the last of this cold so it I am sure doesn't help because I don't work out to my full capacity but I have been working out with my sister at least a few times a week and I am sticking to my weight watchers and I am having a slow steady decrease in my weight as well as in my measurements. So, so far this year there have been Great small Victories already achieved and I am sure many many more to follow.

Since We have been back my computer died, yes my wonderful baby died. We tried several repairs to see if we could just get her back up and running but I apparently blew up/fried the motherboard so there was no saving her :-( But Chris has been working quickly to research and put together a new beast of a machine! and I was in NO WAY prepared for that kind of expense especially right after a vacation we saved up for for over a year, but we had to do what we had to do because I could not be without a computer. and I mean I have a little net book I can do some basic stuff like pay my bills or check email etc even though it may be slow and frustrating I was't without internet, but I was at risk of loosing some of my newest files and photos, and I couldn't create any new images for my store. So there have still been a few kinks in the road trying to get the new machine running and set up so I can get back to work but it is almost there! I cant wait she is going to be so fast and smooth I can wait to get to work on my next release!

In the meantime while we have been waiting on the computer we found out my mother in law and her fiance will be staying with us for about a week in march when my husbands Aunt gets married. SO nothing like that to light a fire up under Hubby's tushy ;-) that and me bearing down and cracking the whip! We have made great progress, he has been finally installing our floor molding and molding around the newly installed doors, and yes he got the last of the doors installed too. he got the last ceiling fan installed in the last room of the house the guest bedroom. we still have tons to do like paint all that molding and build the spare bed and get the spare bedroom put together, and replace the toilet in the master bath and install the lights in the master bath, and clean out the shower and put in a new shower head in the master bath so we can have at least a half finish semi functioning 2nd bathroom when we have company. And I also made my way through several file boxes and threw out a ton of stuff and got my office and financial paperwork organized and filed. Still lots to do...but I am super excited we have made such great progress already.... YAY for Small Victories!

Happy Release Day!

I guess I am a bit late so sorry about that I was waiting on my camera to charge last night and I fell asleep then I had to get up and go into work this morning for some overtime training/meeting so I just got back and got my pics so I do apologize if I threw off the schedule a little but here we go...

What a great team I have and what fun creations they made!

and I was so glad I got to have time to play along again this time

here are some that I was able to do

up first we have Frankenstein I have to admit I am not very good at masculine cards they always look so plain to me but I love the great halloween papers and supplies out there this year! I used a combination of items from DCWV Ghosts and Gobblins matstack, Recollections Midnight Magic 12x12 stack, and martha stewart crafts Halloween adhesive boarders and of course some black stampin up cardstock and my marth stewart drippy goo punch

And next this one was fun and simple... a Coffin shaped treat box with none other than our new SSD dracula!

This I used the coffin die cut from the recollections midnight magic die cut stack, some black ribbon and a sticker from DCWV immortal love scrapbook kit in a stack set. the sticker on top is a little hard to read but it says "irresistible"

and I wanted to give you a few shots to see the dimension of the treat box

and lastly before you head on your way make sure to leave a comment so we can track your route and take note of the trivia question...

What vegetable was originally used as a jack o' lantern?

Here's your Sign

SO I haven't had much time to craft its been hectic around here. Hubby and I have been very involved with the church youth group events lately with easter and confirmations right around the corner and all, and i got sick...again!!!!! I swear I can not catch a break! lol things keep happening lol and then packing and cleaning still hoping we'll get a closing date on our house soon! and just so much happening, but I wanted to share a lil of my current endeavor!

So I don't know if I ever mentioned my cousin Ashley, but Ashley has had some troubles in her life, she was diagnosed with ALL (leukemia) when she was 16 months old and went through bone marrow transplants and Chemo etc an dit was a long and bumpy road and this last december she celebrated her 5th "2nd Birthday" which meant she was officially "cured" it was a wonderful occasion of course! but due to the treatments she went through she had to have cataract surgery on both her eyes, she now wears bifocal glasses and has hearing aids and has speech issues (some of which could be because of her tracheotomy) so just a lil while back she got switched to a new school that has an extensive special education program where she is now learning sign language! and the improvements I have seen in these past weeks are HUGE! she is doing amazingly!

SO Chris and I always thought about learning sign language and using it when we have babies teaching them to sign so we decided this was the perfect time to make it happen, so we are! its been quite fun too so I just wanted to take a minute to share, and I hope maybe Ill get to craft soon (probably not this week because I am going to catholic youth conference in anaheim thurs fri sat and sun but we will see maybe ill have a lil time tomorrow!?!?
