My first post as Simply Sassy Guest Designer!


Omgosh, I am so nervous & excited for today! So much so that I procrastinated on my card and JUST NOW FINISHED!!! I had a hard time choosing which stamp to use for my FIRST post as a Simply Sassy Guest Designer - so I finally chose Hippie Love as I've never colored her before and I just love her style - the flowers & braid are just so adorable in her hair. I feel like I'm a hippie at heart, I kinda have that free spirit inside me and I am pretty laid back. I had this Echo Park Summertime Collection already out on my desk so I decided to go with that as the colors matched how I colored perfectly and it's just a happy paper line because I am SOOOO happy to be a Sassy Girl! I got some new goodies yesterday so I just HAD to add strip of Tim Holtz Sketchbook Tissue Tape - I love the butterflies! You might also recognize the sketch - I followed the Sugar Bowl Challenge this week with their theme of Buttons as well as the sketch! I did turn it on it's side thought to accomodate the image better!

I hope I've inspired you today - I love posting on Fridays - it's such a great way to kick start my weekend playing with these lovely stamps. See you next week - Have a happy weekend!

  5. I like the way you've picked out the colour of the butterflies in the tissue tape with her hair & also the co-ordinating of the buttons with the patterned paper & the hearts of her bunting.
    Have a good weekend.
