Last Sneak Peek Before Release Tomorrow!!!
Here I have 2 images that I combined to make my card. I used the Un-Birthday Cake and Sassy Mad Hatter to make this one. :O) How FUN is this?
I'll be back at 12:01am for the release post!!! Come back and see me! :O)
Two More Valentine Crafts
First are these adorable little glassine bags that I found on fellow Waltzingmouse DT member Jennifer's blog. The stamps are from the Sweet Hearts set. The glassine bags are from PTI.
I found these cute Valentine Bookmarks on Mish's blog. I used My Mind's Eye/Irresistable and Basic Grey/Two Scoops for my designer papers. I used 5 designs of DP (four 1"x 8" strips of each) and a 12" piece of twine (Stampin Up) for each one. See Mish's blog for how to lay them out and cut them.
Doodle Dragon Designs presents Love Monkeys!
I have samples of You Rock Monkey, Lil Devil Monkey & Heart Tail Monkey. How could you NOT love these little guys?
And don't forget about the challenge blog! We have a sketch challenge going on right now! :O)
The Wonders of Nature Bring Joy to the Soul
I used one long stem rose stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps for this card. I stamped the rose part several times on red card stock and then cut them out. On some, I only cut out the center bud of the rose. Isn't this a gorgeous rose - I love the detail on the stamping - I can just smell their lovely scent!
Then I stamped the leaves and stem on Bazzill Green card stock and cut out diffferent pieces of it attaching them to the backs of the roses. They are all popped up on foam dimensionals .
The sentiment is from a set called Petite Word Set. I only inked up the bottom half of this particular sentiment as that was all I wanted for this card. My background is the Diamonds in the Rough Cuttlebug folder.
Well - I stayed up so late to do this challenge on Friday night - it is now early Sat morning and it's only 7 degrees outside! I'm so thankful that I'm in my cozy warm home!

Have a wonderful day and a very merry UN-birthday to all who weren't born today! ;O)
Claire's Birthday Waltzingmouse Blog Hop!
Here's a pic of the inside of my card. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment (of course!), an outline heart and a cute little solid heart! I also used two strips of the same designer paper I paper pieced her jumper with.

Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge #2 - Sketch
I used one of the upcoming releases (Thursday, January 28th)...Lil Devil Monkey. Isn't he the sweetest...errr, naughtiest? :O) I thought he would be perfect to let my hubby know that I'm "hot 4 him"!
Have a wonderful day everyone!
Black Magic Thistle
I chose her Fast Black Magic card to CASE. I thought this pretty thistle from the Celtic Heritage set by Waltzingmouse Stamps would work perfectly with Karen's pretty card design. I changed the colors, the stamp, added a sentiment, used a different edge punch, and made a knot instead of a bow on my ribbon.
Karen has a tutorial for this technique on her blog here.
Thanks for stopping by today! My vacation is over and it's back to work for me tomorrow :(

Sneaky Peek at SSD's New Release!
I used our new Sassy Alice image for this card. Don't you love how she's shorter than the mushrooms? I thought it was all too appropriate for this image! I am also entering this into Hope Stamps Eternal's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge. I took my inspiration from the colors. What do you think? Any Wonderland lovers out there? :O)
Don't forget SSD's current challenge...use any of our images with the color combo pink and brown! You can win yourself 2 Sassy Studio Designs images! ;O)

I used this cute little Hedgehog from Penny Black and the Be Mine is from Waltzingmouse.
You can find the tutorial for these holders here - and below is a pic of how it looks cut, scored and trimmed!
You start with an 11"x4" piece of card stock. Holding the long edge at the top - score at 1/2", 1 3/4", 4 1/4", 5 1/2" and 8". Holding the short edge at the top - score each side at 1 1/4" Use a 1" circle punch for the hole. The long DP panel (shown below) is 5 1/4" x 2 3/8" the shorter piece (attached on the flip side on the section above the circle) is 1 3/8" x 2 3/8"
So that's it for me today! I've been on vacation this week - stamping up a storm as you can see! The week has just flown by but I did get a lot done!
Thanks so much for checking in with me today!
Dare to be Sassy Thursday...Color Challenge
Hi all my crafty friends! Are we ready for Friday yet? LOL! It's almost here and that means....time for another Dare to be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs! This week's challenge is to use pink and brown with any SSD digital image. I love this color combo!
I did a little something different this time. I used a Halloween image for a Valentine's Day card. I was inspired by one of our customers who used SSD's Bewitched image for a Valentine's card. I used Mojo Monday Sketch #122.
Life is Fabulous!
So here I am with my Blue Raspberry Martini - ummmmm I mean my blue iced Tea - and of course I have on my diamonds so I look like I've been at Tiffany's many times before! Can't wait to see you all there - we're gonna have FUN!!!

Add a direct link in Mr. Linky on the FBW post so we can see what you created! :O) I stamped baby butterflies on the green part of the paper and embossed them...The label nestie is also embossed, but you can't see it very well in the photo. The paper is all one sheet folded up {like I used to do in middle / high school} to create the 2 pockets.
Three Cards on a Snowy Day
I made my first card for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I just got some of this new Beloved DP by My Mind's Eye. It has such great designs and pretty colors! I used the same piece - front and back - on this card. The stamps are from the Sweet Hearts Set. I love the arrows with this set! I used oval nestabilities to frame the image and a Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio die to frame my sentiment.

You Have a Big Heart, Valentine!
I've been wanting to use this gorgeous victorian style heart stamp from Rubbernecker and today was the day! First I stamped the heart on white cardstock - then I stamped it on two differenet designer papers, cut out the ribbon from one and the heart from the other and paper pieced them onto the white stamping. I popped up the ribbon on foam dimensionals, added layered flowers and a heart brad. The bottom edge is punched with a Martha Stewart punch. To finish it off - I sponged the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink by Tim Holtz just to soften it a little

All You Need is Love!
I chose this Primitive Love Plaque from the on line store, Nell Hills, because I knew this stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps was perfect to represent the image!
I embossed the image with gold embossing powder on gold card stock. I dry embossed the white card with my square nestability and then adhered the gold piece inside the frame.
All you need is love - do da do da do...... sing along with me now!!!
