Just Because...

Hi there! Today is my last post as a Guest Designer for Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps! I just love the ladies there and Korin is so sweet and so very talented! Thanks to everyone at Sweet 'n Sassy for asking me to join them...I had so much fun!

Today, I am sharing a card that's "Just Because"! And 'just because' I think he's so cute, I got this little Benjamin Bunny digi stamp this week! He's colored with Copics (of course) and surrounded by some pretty pink pearls! I kept the layout pretty simple for this one...a sweet gingham bow and a strip of cardstock that coordinates with my background paper! The sentiment is from Verve.

Be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy store to see all the new release coming out soon!

February Sneak Peek

On February 1st we are releasing 5 new stamp sets and 4 new digis. Today, I thought I would show you a sneak peek of one of the sets- Benjamin Bunny. Isn't he just adorable? I colored him with copics and used some feathery strokes to give the appearance of fur.



Now, if you can't wait till next week to get him, he is available as a digi that you can purchase right now. He is also available in 2 different pre-colored versions too.

Thank you for stopping by today- have a wonderful day!

Is it Spring Yet?!

Happy Tuesday, I am excited to be back with 2 images from the February release. I love these springtime images, especially since it is anything but springlike here! We haven't had the snow that a lot of place in the States have but we've had cold nights, fog & frost that lasts all day - I can hardly wait to see the birds and green grass again!

The first card I am sharing with you is called "One of a Kind". The image is printed onto Neenah paper and coloured with copics, I did paper piece the wings so the stand out from the image. I added some orange stickles to the buds on the tree and used an orange atyou spica pen for their wings.

The second card is Benjamin Bunny - a perfect Easter/spring image! I coloured the image with copics and used a clear glaze pen on the pot to make it look like a glazed clay pot. In the centre of the flower I added some blue stickles. The sentiment is from Springtime Blessings. I added some orange rhinestones to the centre of the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by, I am having so much fun playing with these amazing digi images -

A Spring Preview

Hello, everyone! I'm Lisa at ZippyCrafts making my first guest appearance here at the SNS blog. I was so excited about all the great new images released this week at Sweet N Sassy that I went into a crafting frenzy. Therefore, I have not one or two projects to share with you today, but THREE! Can someone say "Overkill!"? I would have done even more, but I didn't want to be one of those guests that overstay their welcome, lol.
Alright! First up is the absolutely adorable Benjamin Bunny. Have you seen this guy? He is too cute to poot! I want to pull him out of the paper and give him a big squeeze.

I don't guess bunnies are just for Easter, but that was the first thing that popped into my head so he needed some Easter eggs. Good thing I saved a few plastic eggs from last year because I didn't have much luck finding Easter candies yet. And since Benjamin is not the Easter bunny, I wanted his eggs to come by bunny mail, so I created this cute little mailbox for him to wait by.
Next up, is a card created with One of a Kind. Love the message of this set and the little birdies are so fun to color. To make him special, I added some Waterfall Stickles to the wings of the birdie in the middle.

I could see giving this to one of my junior high students since they are so concerned with fitting in and acceptance by peers. Individuality  is its own blessing!
Still with me? I've got one more for you. I used the beautiful, elegant Fluttering By set to decorate this tote.

I found this nifty tutorial for making these totes and then found these inexpensive bath salt and bath tablets to give as a gift. What a great sentiment and image for dressing up this gift bag.
Thanks for letting me share. You can find more details on my blog for each of these projects and you can get all these awesome images at Sweet N Sassy. If they don't lock the gates on me, I'll be back next Saturday with some more projects from SNS.

A "Little" Something Special...or two!!

First thing's first...did you see Sweet 'n Sassy's big news this week??!! We're going all digital! We helped Korin celebrate this announcement with a blog hop on Monday...you can still scroll down to Monday's post to visit all the DT's blogs to see their creations...wow, they were incredible! What a talented bunch of ladies! Speaking of the DT...we GREW!!! (let me clarify that we grew in NUMBERS, not by pant size... lol) So much excitement this week already, and would you believe there is more?? Korin has decided to release all the February digis, and a few of the March images today! Yup, go take a look at the store...so many adorable images! Also, you will need to keep your eyes on the store, because Korin will be releasing new digis frequently. My advice is to check daily!

So what does all this mean for our "Digi Day Thursdays"? Since there will be daily new releases, we will now have a challenge day on SNR every Thursday! The first Thursday of the month will feature a "prize" challenge. We hope you will play along on the other Thursdays too, because Korin will be on the lookout for our Guest Designers and Spotlight Customers from the participants! Today, our hostess over on SNR is Micki! The challenge....USE THOSE BUTTONS!!

Whew...oh yeah, I have a couple of cards too! (hope you've stuck with me this long!)

The first card I made, is a teeny little 4x4 notecard. I LOVE little cards...I'm always drawn to them in stores! I used the adorable "Benjamin Bunny", printed him off on Neenah cardstock and coloured him with my Copic markers. I kept the layout really simple, and just layered him on some coloured cardstock and My Mind's Eye DP.

My second card was made with our SNR challenge in mind! This new image is "One of a Kind". Again, I printed it off on Neenah and coloured with Copic markers. The sky was sponged in with a make-up sponge and a hand-cut cloud template. I think the DP here is from Fancy Pants. This little birdie just makes me giggle! Being different isn't necessarily a bad thing...after all God made each of us unique! We should celebrate who He made us...but at the same time, be willing to be shaped and molded into who He wants us to become!

So, I hope your day will include a stop by SNR to participate in the chatting and challenge! I hope to stop by there later after work. I hope you all have a fantastic, blessed day!!
