Sassy in the City Relay: Round 4 - Carrie Sassy

Welcome to the final round of the Sassy in the City relay!  It has been a fun, and exhausting, week over at Sassy Studio Designs as we celebrate reaching 700 members on Paper Craft Planet.  There have been trivia, contests, and prizes on PCP, but the real fun has been the progressive relay featuring the Sassy versions of the four fabulous gals from Sex and the City.  Lindsay and the entire design team have worked hard all month so that we could celebrate with you!  *applause* 

There were 30 crafters who made it through the first three rounds of challenges to earn Carrie and a shot at the grand prize.  See the Sassy Studio Designs blog for all the details and to see my fellow design team mates projects as well as the participants' entries for Round 4.  Don't forget to leave some love there for your chance to win a Sassy image of your own!

My creation is late.  Hmm, big surprise there as I have been running myself ragged this week trying to keep the relay/PCP festivities running smoothly.  Carrie is my favorite SATC character and the one I think I am most like.  I can relate to her on many levels: her views on relationships, her search for the "zazazu", her flair for writing, her shopping addiction, her love of shoes... So of course I had to rush home tonight to make a project with her!  I decided on an easel card as I haven't made one in a while.  Using the current sketch (#33) over at Addicted To Stamps Challenges, I created my card front.  That amazing city skyline border was made with a Die-namics die from My Favorite Things!  I am SO happy I bought it!  Here is a better look:

Papers are My Mind's Eye - Stella Rose - Hattie.  The sticker on the base/inside is from Paper House Productions.  I also used a Tim Holtz stamp from his Regal Flourish set on the greeting panel.  Flowers are from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

The fun continues for a few more days over on Paper Craft Planet so we hope you'll stop by!  We just keep growing on PCP!  We're already almost a quarter of the way to 800!  

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a fabulous weekend planned!  It's going to be a hot one here so we're probably going to take it easy and lay low.  I need a little down time before my next crafting adventure!  I am off to collapse into bed in my lovely air conditioned room now.  'Night!

I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges:
-  Chocolate, Coffee, and Cards: #16-Anything Goes
- Totally Papercrafts: Can You Digi It? (use a digital image)
- Paper Shelter: #70-Punches and/or Dies

Sassy in the City Relay: Round 3 - Miranda Sassy

Hello!  I know I've been a little quiet on here this week and this will be why: I am busy running a fabulous relay over at Sassy Studio Designs!  It's a Sassy in the City relay celebrating our 700 members over on Paper Craft Planet!  Now unfortunately, if this is the first you are hearing about it, it's too late to join in as it's a progressive relay.  You had to snag the first free image from the SSD blog and play along with the challenge set for her before you could advance to the next round - and next free image!  We are now beginning Round 3, and I finally had time to play!

This is Miranda Sassy! She is the successful, Type A lawyer with the sarcastic wit who is cynical about men!  But when it comes to her friends she is their confidante and voice of reason.  Our challenge to the relay participants is "No Nonsense".  They are being asked to create a CAS (Clean And Simple) project with this image in order to move on to Round 4.  They have until 10pm EDT on June 29th to do so.

I needed a birthday card for a co-worker anyway so I decided it was the perfect excuse to actually play along this time.  On the show Miranda is a fiery redhead, but I  needed a brunette, to better match my recipient.  I opted for raven tresses as I found it more pleasing with my chosen color palette.  She is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and popped on top of the current sketch (#72) from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  I am NOT very good at CAS so this one really was a challenge for me.  I really had to resist adding little extras.  The sketch helped because it is pretty enough on its own, but it was still hard to walk away from the flowers, ribbons, trinkets, bling, and embellishments!  After I took my photo I considered tricking it out, but decided, in the end, to let the CAS stand.  It was a good call too - my co-worker loved it!  So much so that she promptly posted it to facebook!  And tagged me!  Oopsie!  I didn't think about that one when using an as yet to be revealed image!  lol 

Now if you missed out on the relay, don't worry; you can still take part in the fun and festivities!  We are selecting one random comment from the SSD blog for each round to win an image of their choice.  AND we even more activities going on over at the Planet - trivia, contests, prizes, and more!  We hope you'll stop by!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
- Ruby's Rainbow: #31-Black, White, and One Other Color (purple)
- Anything Goes Challenge Blog: #70-Polka Dot with a Birthday Theme 
- Bearly Mine: #41-Anything Goes 
- Party Time Tuesdays: #74-Anything Goes 

Thanks for visiting!  I hope you're having a wonderful week so far!  I'll be back with more Sassy fun this weekend...
