If I only had a Brain...

Sometimes you just have weeks like that. Luckily this week is ending on a great note because we are having a Blog Hop for our new Sassy Studio Designs Release!!! Woo to the HOO!!!!!

This month we added a challenge to the Blog Hop of playing Tic Tac Toe.

I went for the gold - BLACKOUT!!!!! Or should that be GoldOut?! YellowOut?

I used the lovely new Scarecrow Sassy to create this card. I Adore these new images... and I keep singing Follow the Yellow Brick Road, and If I only had a brain!

So for blackout I have

First row - Embossed brick (Hand embossed), Yellow - It is a yellow brick road... Ribbon - I have actually two different ribbons - the one with at the top and the sparkly green "grass" is also a ribbon / fiber. 

Second row - Flying Monkey (the little image is one of the other new images from Sassy (Flying Monkey Sassy) that I printed at less than an inch tall, and colored it lightly, then cut it out and added it to the pendent charm (see the next row). Bling - the buttons on her outfit are crystally bling, and the grass is very blingy.  The ruby slippers or something red - well her shoes are red, as are the poppies.

Third row - Hot air Balloon - had a clear overlay with all sorts of hot air balloons - I used a few of them and cut them out. Charms (pendant with the flying monkey) and Flowers - I added Red flower soft for the Poppies near the yellow brick road.

YAY - No - - I am not an overachiever!

I colored the lovely scarecrows cloth body with E41, 42, 43. The browns in her pants and hat are E53, 55, 57, 59.  Her straw hair is a mixture of Y11, Y21, E33. The greens are YG61, 63, 67 and G85 and the reds of her shoes were created with R46, 56 and 59.

Now here comes the fun part - We have split this hop into two parts - Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday's we will have a challenge for you to enter!  And this will give you the chance to win some of these lovely images for your very own!!!!! Easy Peasy!

Now, I have rattled your ears off... you should move to the next blog on our journey and that is our fabulous designer Lindsay!!!!!! Isn't she wonderful?!
