Krista has even drawn her as a Sassy girl for her blog 

And here is the sweet card she made for us

Using Amelia

*Start by telling us a little about you:
I am married with two gorgeous little girls who love nothing more than to fiddle with my craft stash if I let them!! We also have a cat who likes to play with my ribbon and get in the way when I am crafting, and we have just gained a kitten, who will no doubt also like messing around and getting in the way!


 *When did you start card making and what made you start?

I started out scrapbooking in 2005 after our older daughter was born and I needed something to do other than change nappies! I made a scrapbook of our wedding and honeymoon, and then started a baby book for Ellie. One of my friends suggested making cards rather than buying them, and after some encouragement I made Christmas cards for the family that year. Then I found the DoCrafts forum and someone on there introduced me to a lovely pair of stamps, Maggie and Hamish .. and I was hooked on the HOS!


*What is your preferred coloring medium?
I haven't got a favourite, depends very much on my mood and the image I am colouring. I use pens (promarkers and copics), Distress inks and prismas. I tend to use my pens and prismas more on the Simply Sassy range, than the distress inks, although I use my inks to grunge the images up a bit!


*What is your fav Simply Sassy stamp?
Ohhh I haven't got a favourite, which ever is in my hand is my favourite, I love them all!!! I do have a soft spot for Amelia, Hippy Chick and Love a Latte though (but don't tell the rest of them, they might sulk!!).

*How did you notice the Simply Sassy stamps the first time?
On the Sugar Nellie blog and I started following the Simply Sassy blog before it got going.


*What is your favourite style (card making)?
Again its really dependent on my mood ... I love CAS cards, but also all things Tim Holtz so the vintage/grungey look is a regular feature on my cards!

*And what would you love to see more of at the Simply Sassy blog?
That's a hard one ... its fantastic as it is, and I check out every post, the DT samples are amazing. 

Here is some of the beautiful cards I found at Cathy's blog, 

but do go over there as i couldn't fit them all into one blog post..
