Thank You Chelsea!

Yay! I'm really proud to say I won the January challenges at Crafting Life's Pieces. Chelsea is an extremely talented person and I'm honored to be chosen, and even more honored to be in the great company of players who entered her weekly contests along side me.

I'm tickled to win the Winter Girl stamp (as well as all the other goodies!) and I also bought Kisses since she's so darn adorable. Thanks Chelsea - I'll be stalking the mailbox!

Cheers,
Susan

I used Chelsea's Crafting Life's Pieces sketch #18.

Embellishments: Crochet ribbon, Prima flowers and leaves, misc stash

Introducing Satine

Spectacular! Spectacular!

Thanks so much for stopping in! This is a new Sassy Studio Designs image, given as a freebie to those who joined our last release party. Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite movie musicals - enough of a fav to acually buy the DVD, which I rarely do unless it's a great flick.

   

I tried to copy the costume from the movie but had trouble making it sparkly enough. The fishnet stocking idea came from my darling DT buddy, Anita. Click on her name and you'll see her Sassy hottie. 

Challenges

• Crafting Life's Pieces CLP #17: Chelsea's Fabby Sketch
• A Spoonful of Sugar #87: Lots of Layering,
• If The Shoe Fits: Advertisement Inspiration - (this is kind of funny) in the part of the movie that Satine wears this costume, she is surrounded by many choices in, uh, male suitors; but *they* only have one choice: Satine!

Recipe

• Stamp: Sassy Studio Designs - Satine
• Vintage image: Shabby Chic Papirskatter
• Papers: Bazzill CS, Co'oredinations, Basic Gray
• Medium: Prismacolor pencils, Copic Spica, Micron .005, chalk ink
• Embellishments: Crochet ribbon from stash, making Memories Vintage Findings pins, Swarovski crystals on butterflies, a whopping big cubic zirconia from Grandma G's attic clean-out years ago, metal flourish from a great eBay store called Accent Factory.

I'll come back in a bit (er, maybe Monday) for more details. I've spent most of my day on this card and laundry calls. :)

Cheers!

Susan

I Won at Incy Wincy!

Hiya friends! I've been busy finishing off insides of cards lately and reorganizing the cave studio. Ribbons are out of control, and I really needed to tweak my loose paper storage.Yikes!

I'm really here to brag a little - I won the Sweet Treats challenge at Incy Wincy Designs. My prize is two images from Nikki at Limited Runs, and I chose Big Birthday and Sunny Cupcake. How cute are these? You can check out *all* her adorable Cupcake digis (oh! the souffle cupcake!) at her eBid store, Limited Runs!

Much thanks to Incy Wincy Designs and Limited Runs. :) 


Cheers,
Susan
