Valentine's Day is fast approaching and love is in the air! It's not one of my favorites, but it's still an excuse to bake and craft so I'll go along with it. I'm already planning the sweet treats, and I need to put my crafty thinking cap on for some fun ideas for kids' Valentine's. I promised my small man he could make his own Valentine's this weekend so perhaps he'll inspire me!
Today I'm here to tell you about this week's Sassy Studio Designs' Fabulous Freebie Friday! Join us on Paper Craft Planet every Friday at 8am EST for a new 24 hour freebie! There's also a fortnightly challenge you can play along with for a chance to win more SSD images! This week our freebie is the famously tragic Romeo & Juliet! These two lovers would be the movie version with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. The challenge theme is "Shot Through The Heart" (which more aptly describes how I feel about this holiday! lol). All you have to do join in is use hearts somewhere on your creation.
I've colored the couple with Copics and fussy cut them. Juliet's wings are coated in Crystal Stickles. Papers are Basic Grey - True Love. I was so happy when I scored the last 6x6 pad at AC Moore! The dimensional stickers are from the same collection. Sketch N Stash provides the layout (#106). I used a Fiskars heart border punch and layered a white heart doily under the image. There are also hearts on the papers and one of the stickers is a heart. The only other embellishment I added were a few rhinestones.
Head over to Paper Craft Planet to see what the Fabettes have created! We're on a new DT rotation so you'll see some fresh faces as these gals take their turn on the FFF team! Please give them a warm welcome!
I'm sure everyone will be watching football this weekend, but not me! I'll be busy crafting! Happy Super Bowl weekend and enjoy!

It's Friday and we all know what that means! Another freebie from Sassy Studio Designs! All you have to do is go to our Paper Craft Planet group and become a member! Every week there is a new image! And every two weeks a new challenge! Today's image is a sweetie called "Ballroom Babe". Our challenge (now in it's second week) is "What's Your Style?"
My style almost always starts with a sketch! This one is from Sunday Sketch & Stamp. Then there are layers of designer paper, a Copic colored, fussy cut image and oodles of embellishments! My favorites are die cuts, flowers, bling, and metal! I've used all of those here except for the metal. Papers are Stampin' Up - Everyday Enchantment. The dies are Floral Ovals Nestabilities from Spellbinders and fishtail banners Die-namics from My Favorite Things. Ribbon is also from Stampin' Up and flowers are a mix of WOC and Recollections. Bling swirls are Recollections.
I have been having issues getting started on my crafting projects lately, but once I do I like the results! There is so much to do in the day and I find myself longing for the couch rather than my desk when all the "Have-Tos" are done! I work a full day then come home to full-time job #2 - MOM! Perhaps it's just the super cold weather we've been having that has me in hibernation mode! I have plans for a game night with my brothers tonight, but I'll be back to crafting on Saturday so that I'm ready to show you my project for the first Sassy Studio Designs release of 2013! Join us tomorrow for a two day blog hop to celebrate!
I hope everyone has something wonderful planned for their weekend! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you for the release!
Markers used: Copics (E11, E21, E00, R20, YG93, B00, E25, E31, E37, R24, R35, Y28).

I tend to get songs stuck in my head when I craft and while working on this card I couldn't get Avril Lavigne out of it! This sassy skater girl is this week's free image for Sassy Studio Designs' Fabulous Freebie Friday on Paper Craft Planet! She is available for 24 hours, starting at 8am EST. And there is a brand new challenge starting today as well! This fortnight the theme is "What's Your Style?". We want you to show us what style or technique you love and excel at! Tell us a little bit about your style.
My "style" usually starts with a sketch, but I like to embellish! Empty space on a card bothers me! My favorites are bling, flowers, Tim Holtz metal, and chipboard stickers/flatbacks. I added a couple of those on this card with my bling swirl and fun stickers. Skater Sassy is colored with Copics and fussy cut (another part of my style). I used a Martha Stewart border punch and the My Favorite Things Fish Tail Banners dies. Papers are My Mind's Eye - Love Me.
Head over to Paper Craft Planet before she's gone! And while you're there be sure to check out the rest of the Fabettes! What is each of their styles?
Thanks for stopping by! I'll have a new Corrosive Challenge for you on Sunday! Plus there is an announcement coming on Monday as well! 2013 is shaping up to be an exciting year!
Have a fabulous weekend, my crafty friends!

I have a confession. I have spent more time on Pinterest this week than I have crafting. As a result I now have the urge to bake something dusted with powdered sugar and to rush out to buy storage cubes and pretty baskets to store my crafty stash in! I want one of those posh, organized, clean, white, sunny spaces! Instead, I sit here amid my dark wood trim, a very large pile of card stock scraps and the array of toddler toys strewn about the floor. Posh? Never! But maybe I can get organized. First, I need to do some clearing out. I started with my card stock last night.
If you're like me and the new year has you cleaning house now is a good time to join Sassy Studio Designs over on Paper Craft Planet for this week's Fabulous Freebie Friday! Not only is there an amazing new image called Cheerful Chelsea, but there is a challenge that will help you utilize some of those neglected supplies. Visit PCP for all the details and to download Chelsea for yourself! She is available for 24 hours only, beginning at 8am EST.
The current challenge is "Out with the Old". My stash items are the Valentine Circus designer paper, which is from K&Company, and the red adhesive gems. The flower is also from my stash. Chelsea is colored with Copics and fussy cut.
The Fabettes have some gorgeous creations this week so be sure to leave them a little love when you visit!
Have an amazing weekend!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013! I'm sorry I was so quiet over the holidays, but it was a hectic, fun, wonderful time and I wanted to treasure every magical second of it that I could with my small man! Now I'm back and ready to jump back in to my design team duties! I've spent this week getting caught up on all the admin stuff I had been neglecting so I still haven't done much crafting. My creative space is in need of a major cleaning and organizing overhaul... But that is a topic for another day!
I did get a card made for this week's Sassy Studio Designs' Fabulous Freebie Friday, though! Today's image is called "Diva Dianna". She is one of the retired fashionistas and you can snag her over at our Paper Craft Planet group for the next 24 hours! There is also a new challenge starting today- our first for the year! The theme is "Out with the Old". We want you to use something from your stash on your project.
My card was inspired by the No Doubt CD I've been listening to this week. It's a compilation of their singles and I've had "Hey Baby" stuck in my head! Dianna is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped up with foam squares. The papers are My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Union Square. I used a Tim Holtz Sizzix embossing folder, large flat back pearls, and some glittered chipboard letters. EVERYTHING is from my stash! I think perhaps a wise resolution for 2013 would be less shopping, more crafting! lol
Pop over to PCP to download the image and to see what the rest of the Fabettes have created!
Thanks for stopping by! I've missed you guys! :-)
