Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #90 - Stripes and Polka Dots

Hello! I have a double duty card for you today! It's part sneak peek, part Dare To Be Sassy Thursday! The sneak peek part is the image from the Sassy Studio Designs 2011 Halloween collection, which is being previewed all this week as we count down to the new release this Saturday, September 17th (also my small man's 2nd birthday!!!)! The collection this year is a mix of classic monster, Hollywood glamour, and fun, flirty costumes. I have one of the monsters to introduce to you - Meet Frankenstein! He's ready to make some friends as he adorns my project for this week's DTBST #90 - Stripes and Polka Dots. My fun papers are actually a 50% off find at Michaels! I mean, how can you go wrong with $2.50 for a package of 24 patterned sheets? I used my Martha Stewart Cracks border punch and added a few glittery embellishments. The spider is a Jolee's sticker, and the web is punched from sparkle card stock with a Martha Stewart punch. My sentiment is computer generated.

The sketch is #19 from The Deconstructed Sketch. I don't even think it is up on the blog yet, but I'm a fan on facebook and so got a preview last night and decided it was just what I needed. So check them out when it goes live later today.

You'll also want to head over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to see what else the design team has created. And you'll definitely want to join us on Saturday for the spook-tacular fun and fabulous new release festivities! There will be a blog hop, and of course, prizes!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you are having a wonderful week so far! Mine is just flying by! But that's okay as I'm looking forward to the weekend! Have a fantastic Thursday and hope you'll visit again soon (I'll have a Tickled Pink Stamp preview and challenge for you shortly).

Tickled Pink Stamps Preview Day 1 - Lil Christmas Pinkette Coraline

Welcome to Day 1 of the Tickled Pink Stamps Lil Christmas Pinkette previews! Today we have Lil Christmas Pinkette Coraline and her mistletoe to share with you! Artist Stephanie Corfee has given us a new batch of holiday cuties and you aren't going to want to miss a single one of the sweet holiday girls!

For my card I used the current sketch (Sketch #5 - Kristy's sketch) at Pink {INK} Sketch Challenges. Papers are a beautiful collection from Stampin' Up, now retired, called Holiday Treasures. Coraline is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. I kept embellishments to a minimum, just some flowers and pearls flourishes. The sentiment is from the Pink Christmas Sentiments set, also from Tickled Pink Stamps. I thought it was perfect!

You'll want to pop over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to see what the other lovely and talented {Pink} gals have created for you! And don't forget to leave a comment there for a chance to win the image for your very own! As usual it's not a preview and release unless our gorgeous and generous leader Kellie has prizes to give away!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a fabulous week so far! Be sure to come back later in the week as I will have more TPS previews as well as a sneak peek of the Sassy Studio Designs 2011 Halloween collection, being released on September 17th.

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #36 - Use Chipboard

Hi and welcome to this week's Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge! I feel badly for having missed last week's challenge, but I am back with a new card for you! I'm still on my Halloween kick so bear with me! Teehee! This week's theme is to "Use Chipboard". Easy enough since most of us have alphabets, stickers, or other embellies made out of the stuff. My "YUM" sentiment is Making Memories chipboard Halloween sticker letters that I've had in my stash for ages! It's nice to finally have a use for them!

I colored up Lil Haunt 2 Zombie Kellita and popped her up on top of this week's layout (#62)from Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge. The decomposed fingers label is from their Wanda's Pantry set. (I just received my prize from them in the mail the other day so I will finally have another set to work with for their challenges, and a Christmas one at that!). I added some creepy cloth, flowers, a Tim Holtz metal corner, and a few flourishes, and I was done.

You'll want to head over to the Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge blog to see what the gorgeous {PINK} challenge teammates have created for your viewing pleasure! And while you're at it, zip over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog too as they are currently in the middle of the Lil Victorian Christmas previews and I don't think you'll want to miss that!

I do hope you'll play along! Remember that you must use an image from one of the Tickled Pink Stamps lines (these include the Lil Lolitas and Lil Lads, Lil Pinkettes, Pink Pets, and Cherrie). They can all be found here in the TPS store. Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a fabulous week!

The Corrosive Challenge #132 - Funny or Punny

Good morning and I do apologize for the late post. Yesterday's Sassy Studio Designs blog hop and party festivities wore me out! It is my first Corrosive Challenge as challenge co-coordinator with my teamie, Susan. We bid a fond farewell to founder Janet last week as she handed the reins over to us. It's the first challenge of a new month which means new sponsors and new prizes! For the month of September, we are sponsored by:

Dude Time Doodles

Prize: $10 Gift Certificate

AND

Paper Makeup Stamps


Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

Today's challenge is "Funny or Punny"! We want to see your sense of humor come through in your project - whether it's silly, dry, sarcastic, wicked, or just a tad twisted! We want you to make us chuckle! You have all week to join in. For my project I used an image and matching sentiment from sponsor, Dude Time Doodles. This is Ahoy Matey Matt! Isn't the sentiment fantastic? And so true! lol I selected sketch 17 over at the Deconstructed Sketch as my layout and the papers are from the Echo Park 6x6 pad called Apothecary Emporium. I just love my Ribbon Banner Shapeabilities dies, and I've used one here for my sentiment. Matt is colored with a combination of Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. The skull charm is from my stash and is studded with rhinestones.

Pop on over to The Corrosive Challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team ladies have created for your inspiration and link up your own project to be eligible for the prizes and to be considered for our Guest Design Team position for October!

Thanks for taking a look and hope you are enjoying your weekend!

The design team will be around later today for chatting...
