You're Invited

It's Thursday and that means it's time for the next Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge ( #282) at Sassy Studio Designs.  This week the challenge is "Save the Date" (make an invitation). I'm continuing my trend to use the "Pin Up Photographer Portrait" image for my DTBST challenges this month.
Here's what I made.

inside

Stuff I Used:

Image-Pin Up Photographer Portrait image by Sassy Studio Designs

Colored on the computer

DP-American Crafts best of create paper

Card stock-Stash

Sentiment-Sentimints at Sassy Studio Designs

I colored the image on the computer since it is an invitation that could be produced in multiples. And it is a simple layout so it can be made many times with ease.

Now it's your turn to create something for the challenge.

SentiMints Release

Ermagurd! I can't believe it. A special Release/Hop for my "SentiMints".

A while back, Lindsay asked me if I'd be interested in having some of my sentiments available in the SSD store. After some thought, I said sure.

You should have arrived here from the Sassy Studio Designs blog.  If not, click here and start at the beginning.

Follow along and see the projects the  DT has created with the "SentiMints".  If you stop at all the DT's blogs, you could be handsomely rewarded. (a Freebie is being given away somewhere along the way.  Shhhhhh!) And we are having a challenge to go along with the Release.

Here is what I created.

I popped up the image panel on homemade green foam squares.  I added a smaller image and more DP on the inside.

I used a Splitcoast Stampers Wednesday sketch (#459) for my layout.

Hope my project has inspired you.  Next stop on the Hop is the fabulous Debbie's blog.  Don't forget you have to go to each of the DT's blogs to find the giveaway. (I don't even know where it is!) 

Just a heads up, there will be a New Image Release/Hop coming later this month.  I know you'll want to join us for that Release/Hop also.  But first you need to join in this Release/Hop/Challenge.

Don't forget that somewhere along the Hop you will find a link to a freebie.  It could be anywhere, so don't skip any blogs.

Once you find it, create a project using it and link your post to the Sassy Studio Designs blog.

The freebie will only be available for 48 hours, after that, you can buy it in the store.

The project chosen will win their choice of 3 of the Sentimints.

Also, three people from the comments will be randomly chosen to win 1 of the Sentimints of their choice.

And we will be chatting on the Party Blog tonight from 5pm to 7pm PST 

Leave a comment and get on over to Debbie's Blog.

Thanx for looking and please comment.
