Red, White and Blue 4 You

It's Friday again.  You know what that means.  Time for the next Sassy Studio Designs Facebook Flashback Friday image.
There's a NEW way to bring you your favorite FBF Images! So, starting today - the featured image for FBF will be available to you FOR FREE for 24 hours ONLY, and ONLY in this group!! That means that after 24 hours the image will be removed from the group and you will no longer be able to receive it for free. If you miss it - you can still purchase it in the store at regular price. If is not in the store than you will have to wait until it pops up again! This weeks image is Captain America.

I decides to keep with the Red, White and Blue theme.  I also figured out how to make a "twisted easel" card that is vertical.  I had always seen twisted easel cards but they were all either square or horizontal.  Here's a sketch of how to make it work.

You then just add a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece on the front adhering it only in the bottom triangle.

Here's what I made.

Bride Journal

June is here. So I've moved over as a SSD DT member to the Flashback Friday team at Sassy Studio Designs. This week we have the great image "Bella Bride" as inspiration.  It's available in the SSD Store at a discount price this week.  I decided to make something other than a card this time around.
I made a what I'd call a "Bride's Journal".

Just a Splash of Color

Do you make projects with a lot of colors?  I like to play with colors.  But this week's Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge (#229) at Sassy Studio Designs is "White with a Splash of Color".

I decided not to even add color to my image for this challenge.  So I colored it with greys.

Stuff I Used:

Image-Dorothy Sassy by Sassy Studio Designs

Colored with Copics (C1, C3, C5, C7)

DP-me and my Big ideas Mambi Sheets pack

Cardstock-stash

I layered the background DP/cardstock and popped each up on foam squares.  I added a smaller image and more DP on the inside.

This was a fun challenge trying to only "add a splash of color".  Hopefully you'll join the fun and try your hand at the challenge.

Thanx for looking and please comment.

A Sweetie for Halloween

There was a mix up with the sponsorships and some got to see this a little early (Shhhhhh!)  So this is my second card for Artistic Inspirations Challenge's "Anything Goes".  Being that Sassy Studio Designs is the sponsor and I am a member of the SSD DT, I created this card.  Being that it was a "Halloween Colors" theme, I wanted something a little different.  So after looking through the Sassy Studio Designs images, I found the this image.  And it's not the witch or mummy or even the vampire slayer.  What do you think?

As American as...

This is my 1st week as a DT member at Sassy Studio Designs on the "Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenges".  I can't believe how fast the first 3 months have gone by.  Now I said it's on to the DTBST challenges.  This week's challenge was a "Patriotic" card (red, white and blue) in honor of the 4th of July here in the U.S.
