A Simply Sassy Blog Hop!

Hello friends and welcome to the Simply Sassy blog hop!  We are celebrating the release of Set 11 of the gorgeous Simply Sassy stamps, and for this launch weekend the whole set is on sale for the price of 5 stamps!  One of the 7 stamps, Season's Greetings, is a limited edition stamp and will only come with Set 11 during this launch weekend.  So if you want the limited edition stamp, you must buy the set this weekend.  This stamp will not be sold as an individual stamp.

You should have arrived here from Kathrin's blog and I'm sure you enjoyed her beautiful work.  If you get lost along the way, hop over to the Simply Sassy Blog to see who's next on the hop.  The hop ends Monday, November 21, at 12:00 noon UK time (that's 7:00 am est here in the States).

I used Tease Me for my card.  Isn't she beautiful ... so sweet and sassy!  I colored this cutie with distress inks.  I've used lots of goodies on this card and since I know you're anxious to hop along, you can check my recipe below if you want more details on the embellishments.

So, would you like a chance to win a fabulous stamp from Funky Kits?  Well, of course you would!  Each of the DT will be giving away the stamp that was used to make their blog hop card.  Well, actually, we won't give you our dirty used stamps - you'll get a pretty new one lol!  So be sure to leave me a comment for a chance to win this gorgeous Tease Me stamp.  I will post the winner's name on Tuesday so be sure to check back to see if you were the lucky winner.

Now you want to head over to Elaine's blog to check out her gorgeous work.  And don't forget to leave comments all along the way.  All of these new Simply Sassy stamps are available over at Funky Kits.

A Simply Sassy Sneak Peak

  (Please scroll down for my Divas by Design post)

Hello friends.  The Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy set 11 will be released this Saturday in a blog hop, but I have a little sneak peak to share with you today!

This little cutie is called Book Club  -- isn't she adorable?  I colored this sweet girl with distress inks.  I added a seam binding bow with a little apple button and then some punched flowers with pearls.  My grandson started kindergarten this year and he loves his teacher (and school, thank goodness).  So I thought this sweet image would make a perfect card for his teacher.  My daughter can include a gift card for his teacher's favorite little shop or restaurant and my grandson can give it to her for Christmas.

The Simply Sassy set 11 will be available Saturday over at Funky Kits.  If you want to see more sneak peaks this week stop by the Simply Sassy DT Blog.  And don't forget to mark your calendars for our blog hop this Saturday, November 19.  You'll want to start here for the hop.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Friends Fur-ever

Happy Monday!  We have a new challenge for you over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  Our lovely Joey has chosen the theme of Friends, Friendship this week.  

I have used Swinging Friends from the Swings and Slides Collection.  I love this sweet image.  I've colored this cutie and her kitty with copics and colored pencils and then stippled in some clouds.  A bow with a button and some pearls were the only embellishments I added.

StampFairy Christmas Scenes

Happy Friday friends.  We have a new release over at StampFairy.  Gerda has created some adorable little Christmas scenes.

I have used Lenny Christmas Scenes and colored it with copics and colored pencils.  I applied Glossy Accents to their cute noses.  I used crackle paint on the lightpost and fence and added some sparkle with Glamour Dust.  Do you see that cute sentiment on my card?  That's a freebie from Gerda - how sweet is that?

Here's a picture of the new release and you can find all these cuties over in the shop.  Be sure to stop by the StampFairy Blog to check out the gorgeous work by the rest of the DT.
