Back to School at Monster High

Well it's finally here.  The September Release/Hop at Sassy Studio Designs.

You should have arrived here from Chris's blog.  If not, you need to head back to the beginning here.
I was originally going to do a different image (then did a project with the original image-see below) but switched to the Draculara image for my project.  I used this week's Wednesday sketch (#507) by Split Coast Stampers.

Round like a Bubble

So what's your favorite bubble gum? Bubblicious, Hubba Bubba, Dubble Bubble, Bazooka or something else?  
This week's challenge (#80) over at Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog is being sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.  As a SSD DT, I created a card for the challenge.  The challenge at Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog this week is "Anything but Square".   I thought "If not square, lets go round!". And after seeing the "Bubblegum Sassy", I thought it would be perfect for a round card.  And I decided to make an easel card..

Not Too Shabby Looking

Happy Thursday.  You know what that means.  Time for the next Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge (#212) at Sassy Studio Designs.  The challenge this week is "Shabby Chic" or "Vintage" (make your projects in the shabby chic or vintage style).  I always have a challenge with this style. I have seen some amazing cards out there in this style.  But like I said, I always get stuck with this style.  Hopefully I did it justice.  Here's what I created.

Belle doesn't look too Shabby

Welcome.  It's time for another Dare To Be Sassy Thursday at Sassy Studio Designs.  This week the challenge (#194) is "Shabby Chic". When I saw this challenge I had to ask the other DT members what constituted "Shabby Chic".  Once I had some idea, I tried to incorporate the elements.  This was a tough one for me.  I don't usually put a lot of stuff on my projects.  Hope I did okay.

Welcome Spring

I thought Spring was here for the year, but it was postponed yesterday after we got 5" of snow. It didn't bother me because I like plowing the lots at the office complex where my sister and mom work. But I still wanted to make a Spring card for the Some Odd Girl March challenge. See it here.  This month's sketch was:

When Some Odd Girl http://www.someoddgirlblog.com/ has new stamps come out, if you comment on the posts, you can win one of the new images.  That is how I acquired the "Watering Can Tia" image.  I won it! I love all their images.  They are great to color and so expressive. So here is my card.

Well the snow is melting and I hate when it's all messy. But Sunday is Easter and I think Spring will stick around this time.  Then before we know it, the temperatures will be in the 90's and we'll be back in the house and the air conditioning. hahaha
