Sassy Studio Designs Little Honey Villains Blog Hop

Welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs Vicious Villains blog hop!  This is our second release this month and there is plenty of wicked fun going on!  All the details are below, but first let me tell you a bit about The Evil Queen...

She is the vain, jealous, insecure step-mother of the fair Snow White.

Famous Quote: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"

Dastardly Deed: Ordering her huntsman to do away with Snow White and return with her heart in a trinket box then conjuring a poison apple to do the job herself when he fails.

Claim to Fame: Her Disney incarnation is #10 on the American Film Institute's list of the 50 Best Movie Villains (making her the highest ranked animated villain).

I decided to do something a little different for my project.  I thought it would be fun to use The Evil Queen as a home decor item.  I found this fabulous frame at Michaels in the Halloween section.  It had one of those creepy pictures that change depending on the angle you view them from.  I took that out as well as the clear plastic overlay and replaced it with card stock and a sheet of designer paper from the new My Mind's Eye 6x6 Haunted pad.  I added a bit of bling and my villainous sentiment.  The Queen is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers, with generous amounts of Goldenrod Stickles on her crown.  I also added some glossy accents to her eyes and her pendant.

Be sure to head over to the Sassy Studio Designs blog if you haven't been there.  Our fabulous release crew has come up with not one, not two, but FOUR different ways for you to win Sassy prizes!  Here is a summary and the complete hop order, in case you go astray during your journey.

Chance #1

Trivia/Scavenger Hunt Questions

There are 10 questions over on the Sassy Studio Designs blog.  

3 Winners will be drawn. You have until midnight PST tonight to send in your answers by email.
  ssdreleasecrew@yahoo.com

1st Place - 3 digi stamps

2nd Place - 2 digi stamps

3rd Place - 1 digi stamp

Chance #2

Comment on the Sassy Studio Designs post and tell us what your all time favorite Disney movie is.
 Prize - 2 digi stamps

My favorite Disney movie is Pirates of the Caribbean!  If we're sticking to the animated ones, that's harder to choose... but Tangled tops the list!  And for the record, I can tell you my favorite Disney heroines, besides Rapunzel, are Esmeralda, Pocahontas, Belle, and Ariel.   

Chance #3

There are 6 design team members that will have a random winner selected from the comments on their blog. The prize will be the image they are showcasing.  Since even we don't know whose blog the winners will come from the more love you leave, the better your chances of winning!

Chance #4

Make a Disney card using a Disney stamp and link it up on the Sassy Studio Designs blog. You can enter only once and no back linking is allowed.

If you use a Sassy Studio Designs Digi you get an extra entry.

If you use a Sassy Studio Designs Villain Digi you get two extra entries.

The first place winner will receive the whole release! (Note: If the winner has used a Villain image for their project, arrangements will be made for a substitute prize image.)

The second place winner will receive 3 digi stamps.

You have until Thursday, August 30th at midnight to enter and we will announce the winner Friday afternoon!

 Okay, so here are the details...  Hop around the world with us, leaving comments as you go.  Two lucky winners will be selected at random from among the comments to receive one image from the new collection!  When you are done hopping, create a project featuring something about YOUR favorite country and tell us why that country holds a special place in your heart.  You MUST use a SSD image to participate.  Deadline to enter is July 27th at midnight PDT.  If you are the lucky crafter selected as winner by design team vote you will win ALL SIX new International Honey images!  All winners will be announced on July 31st.  

My card today features Great Britain Honey.  She is a such a little darling, isn't she?  Besides the amazing United States where I live, I have to say that England is probably my other favorite country!  I am a fan of the King Arthur legend and find the British royalty fascinating!  There is so much history on this one small island!  I was lucky enough to visit in 2001!  (For my honeymoon, a visit that was perhaps THE highlight of a short-lived marriage!  lol)  I have colored her with Copic and Prismacolor Art Markers.  This paper I found in a forgotten stash and I'm pretty sure it was purchased 10 years ago with the intention of scrapbooking honeymoon photos!  I was happy to stumble upon it this evening, though!  Flowers are a combination of Recollections and WOC.  The London chipboard sticker is also Recollections, and I finished off with a few pearls and a Tim Holtz metal corner.  The sketch is the current Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge layout (#163).

Ready to head off of to your next international destination?  Head on over to the fabulously talented Rebecca's blog where she has been practicing her Russian!

Thanks for joining us for our new release hop and we hope to see you on our party blog this evening for a chat with members of the SSD design team tonight beginning at 7pm PDT/10pm EDT!  Pip, pip, cheerio!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
- Raise the Bar: #108-Red, White, and Blue 
- Try It On Tuesday: So Very British   
- Stampin' Royalty: #133-Anything Goes 
- Crop Stop: #81-Let the Corners Shine
