DTBST - Celebrate Good Times!!!

COME ON - ITS A CELEBRATION!

This weeks challenge at Dare to be Sassy Thursdays is to Create a card or project for a celebration. I have a LOT to celebrate this week - my three huge deadlines are OVER at work. Whoop Whoop!!!!! But that is NOT what I did. I am celebrating something more geeky - Yeah - That's right - we have

MORE STAR WARS MOVIES COMING!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPP!

To celebrate I colored up Sassy Leia, and after printing out the background added little crystals in the shape of Mickey heads! HEE HEE. I cut out Leia and colored her up with YR000, YR00, E11 for her skin. B60, 63 for her white gown and E23, 25, 27, 29 for her hair and eyes.

Now if only we can get Joss Whedon to direct. WHOA!!!!

Now - go off and create!!!!  And check out the SSD blog to see what all the other Sassy ladies have created! They have some awesome work to show you!

Hump Day Hop!!!!

Howdy All!!!! Today Alison has challenged us to a Recipe challenge in honor of all the eating we did at Thanksgiving here in the states. Only her recipe isn't for us to cook something, but just to cook a project up using her list of ingredients:

3 Patterned Papers
2 Bombshell Stamps images
1 Piece of Ribbon

This was fun - but the patterned papers was a HUGE challenge.

I used LOTS of colors - too many to list. But mainly of the 0X lines. This is Tiki Party! I just got this in a few weeks ago and this is my first try on coloring it up. So fun... And made me want a pina colada pretty badly!!!!

OK, Here is the hop list. If you did not arrive from Susies blog, why don't you start at the beginning! It is always fun, and we all have really different styles usually (Although a couple of us tend to be on the same wavelength frequently - lets see how close we are this time - Waves at Kathi).

Ribbon and Lace Christmas

Today Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the Glitter and Sparkle Challenge to use Ribbon and Lace.  Being that it is Christmas-time, I decided to use this lovely Rennaissance Sassy to make an old fashioned Christmas Card.

This actually is much DARKER and deeper reds than show up here. I need to learn to work my camera better. I used  R35, 37, 39 and 59 to color up her overgown. Y11, 21, 23, 26, 28 for the yellow undershirt. And then the sleeves are W4, 6, 9. Her skin is YR000, 00, E11 and her hair is Y11 with tones of E13, 15, 17, 18 over it.  Her eyes are B41, 45.

Once I was done I used a satin ribbon and placed it down, and then a black lace ribbon on top of the lower edge. I added the pearls where they joined. The sentiment is a Flourishes sentiment.

Thank you for taking a peek at my blog. And please - check out the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see what inspiration the other ladies have created for you.

Festive Fortuneteller

I have been going crazy at work the past few weeks - ok this last year. SHEESH... Anyway - I have not had a lot of time to be all crafty just for the heck of it. But I am having fun this weekend. I am not out of the woods yet at work - but I can see the light over yonder... and hope that in about a week I am singing in the sunshine. But I am taking a break this weekend, and I have another just because I want to enter a challenge card!

This is my entry into the Kraftin Kimmie Feelin Festive Challenge. I figure - why do I need to limit myself? Why not embrace the weird? So inside she is going to foretell a Very Merry Christmas.

The patterned paper is from the Paper Studio Old Christmas pack. I colored her up with G21, 24, 28, 29, R22, 24, 27, 29, 39, E00, 11, 13, 25, 27, 29, 49, Y00. 11. 17. 21. 26.  For both the green and the red I went over the light area with yellow Y11. I did the same on her face with Y000. This was to try to make her glow a bit from both the lights dangling off the table (that is what I am making them so there) and the crystal ball. I tried to make the shadows come from the ball for the most part. so the shadows on her face are up higher and made with BV000 instead of my normal coloring darker.

OK... So I hope you are having a very crafty fun weekend. I am going to go make some mac and cheese and then start putting up the Christams tree while we hopefully watch A&M BTHO Mizzou!

Masked Assassin

I am not really sure how she would sneak around much in a dress like this, but maybe she just shocks them with her brazen-ness and then slices their throats. I like that idea.

I used V91, 93, 95 and 99 for her gown and mask. Her skin is E53, 55, 57. Her hair is E71, 74, 77, 79. The gold was the most odd.. It is Y11, 23, 26, E04 and E07. I think it gives is a bit of a metallic look with the brownish reds in it.

This is the Masked Warrior from Sassy Studio Designs about to be retired - after November 30 they will not be sold again in the same format!!!! But - YAY they are also having a Black Friday through Cyber Monday sale. Buy any 3 images get one free.

OK... Now to go do the shopping thing - at Home Depot... because I don't want to go anywhere near a mall, or shopping strip or anything.

Have a great weekend.

Ms. November's Challenge!

November 21st is False Confessions Day. Well Ms. November challenged us to do a TRUE Confessions challenge. The confession can be as tame or spicy as you want it to be, but please keep it appropriate. Give me your best confessions!

My confessions is that I really love tattoos. I love ones with really bright colors (very little orange though). BUT, I will NEVER EVER get one. Not because of the pain - although I am SUCH a WUSS.... but because I am too scared that in 3 days I will be bored with it and be disgusted that I chose that one and I am stuck with it. My tastes change too often. 

I LOVE temporary tattoos because I can have a bunch of fun and change it as often as I want.  If I did get one I would want greens and blues and turquoise and purples. That is why I colored it this way.

I used the following colors to make up this lovely tattoo-ey image from the Growing Hearts set.

Colors Y32, 35, 38 B32, 34, 37, 39
G43, 48, RV52, 63, 66, 69 B60 63, C3, 5, 7, 9.

Now it is your turn. Tell us your True Confessions with you Bombshell stamps. Enter the challenge over on the Bombshelll Blog and you might even win some Rubber!!!

Sassy Baby on Board Sign

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the Tuesday Alchemy challenge today. The challenge is to create Anything But a Card. I decided to use one of the new images just released - The Greatest Gift.

I made a little surprise Baby on Board sign. Figured this would be a great way for someone to tie around their neck and surprise their husband with, or something like that. :-)

I colored her up with YR000, 000 and E11. I did this as well on the bra and panties - as I wanted them to look a little thin and sheer. I then colored the bow up with YG61, 63 and 67. For her bra and panties, I colored over them lightly with YG61 and a very little bit of YG63. Once completed with that - I tool a 0.1 mm grey multiliner and squiggled all over it to make them look like they are laced up.  Her hair is Y21, E23 and E25.

I hope you all have a great day and come on back soon to check out what I have cooked up later this week!!!
