And the Sassy girl is colored with Copic markers.

Hope you have a great week and I will  be back with a little post this Monday :)

Something for the boy's

 It's time for a new The Sugar Bowl challenge,

This time it's lovely Cathy who has made a sketch for us.

And the option this time is  'Out Of The Ordinary'

And those who know me know that I don't make many boys cards or anything..

So when my brother had birthday I decided to make him a gift bag to put his present in,

so this is my  'Out Of The Ordinary'

I have used our Sassy boy No 1 fan

The papers are from Basic Grey, the cloud is a Magnolia die

and the die behind the Sentiment is from tickled Pink

The boy is colored with Copic markers .

The prize this week is 4 stamp for one lucky winner or 6 stamps if we reach 100+ entries..

You still have time to join the hop for a chance to win some yummi stamps.

Maria here today instead of Erica but not to worry, lots of inspiration from Erica next week ♥

We're taking a Christmas break in a few weeks and you will get plenty of inspiration from the new stamps from us before that but I am still doing my Christmas projects , tags and altered boxes to give away candy in..

This is my second box the other one you can see here

This is the box my coffee comes in and I do not trow these away after their empty as their perfect for altering..

I've used Simply Sassy Puppy Love from the Christmas collection.

I've cut her out with a circle nesting die and a scallop nesting die for frame,

she is colored wit my Copic markers and the dot's in the scallop is liquid pearl.

 A magnolia die to stamp the sentiment on,

and the wreath is a rub-on from Melissa Frances also colored with Copic's

The paper is a old one by MME (My Minds Eye)

Snowflakes from Whiff Of Joy the pearls are from Prima and Kaisers Kraft

 And the lid is also nesting dies and liquid pearl and the flower and pearl are from  Prima.

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday,

and remember still time to join our blog hop ;)

Christmas Kisses

Yes I promised more Christmas tags..

I'm trying to make as many as I can to decorate my Christmas gifts.

I'm planning white or kraft paper and have ordered 3 spools of different colors twine 

and are going to make as many tags as I can manage..

I will try to remember counting them in My blog before Christmas and see how many I've got..

For this card I've used Christmas Kisses

and cut away the mistletoe

The paper is from Poppy Design a Norwegian Paper producer.

And the snowflakes are WoJ cut out in Doodlebug Sugarcoated cardstock.

Have a fantastic Thursday wherever you are

Sugar Bowl 70

Can you believe it I managed to make a CAS sketch... how did that ever happen??

Yes the option for this challenge at The Sugar Bowl is Clean & Simple..

Something I almost never do..

But I got an Idea and stuck with it.. 

I thought this Doodlebug Sugarcoated paper would look awesome on a 

Winter/Christmas card..

The swirl is part of a Prima Bling swirl 

Ans the Simply Sassy girl is Tammy 

Tammy is colored with Copic's 

And Glittered with Stickles 

The prize for the challenge is 

One lucky winner of this challenge will have their choice of 4 stamps

(or 6 stamps, if we reach 100+ entries)

So come on over and join us ♥ 

Something for Christmas..

This will hopefully be the first of many Christmas tags from me..

I think it's a nice way to brighten up a Christmas gift,

You could use kraft papers and twine for gift wrapping nice and simple.

And then add a sweet homemade Christmas tag,

Think of how nice that will look!!

For this tag I used Little light of mine,not from the Christmas collection but

so perfect to use as a Christmas image too..

Have lots of little scrap pieces of Christmas papers?? 

 Their perfect for decorating tags..

Hope this gave you some Christmas inspiration 

Hugs Maria

Stepping in for Erica today.. 

This is my first ever time coloring red hair.. I see I need more deep orange copic's but I likehow the image POP's with red hair coloring... Don't think it will be the last time I will try out this..

Once again I want to remind you about the gdt call we're having..

Some therapy again..

You haven't forgotten our Christmas collection yet 

with all the new yummi new stamps we've had here lately, have you??

If you've seen my blog  it seems like I'm really into tag making lately..

 (Maybe I should get myself that Tim Holtz tag die if it goes in my cuttlebug.. 

Then I could get the tag any color I'd like.. )

But it's such a fun little project and brightens up a Christmas or Birthday gift..

I think this tag will be perfect for a girlfriend gift..

The background paper is Magnolia and  the cute tree's is a oooold paper leftover I have from the "old days"

Think it was Scenic Route, don't think that brand even exist anymore..

The Sassy girl is colored with copic's and if you want her you han find her HERE 

I'll be back Sunday with my first red hair coloring..as Erica has a week off ;) 

Sweet as an Apple

I know you we're hoping for a new sneak.. but I made this before I went on vacation and knew what sneak Tracy would show. And i believe Kathrin also said she had a sneak for us tomorrow + there is only 2 days to go before our blog hop :)

For this card I cut her out and put her on 3d dots to give her a pop up effect.

She's colored with Copic's, the dotted background is from Bazzill and most of the paper is from Maja design,.

Thank you to all who have already  submitted to our gdt call 

and to those who have tried out before and not sure if they will do it again because they wasn't picked.

Please enter again, it has been so har every time picking and I wish I could choose all but please enter again, 

as I said before I want this decision to be hard because

it's wonderful seeing all the gorgeous Simply Sassy cards out there!!

So do try out and you might get to be in our awesome little group :)
