Wonder who our new guest designer(s) are??

First I want to thank every one of you that applied for the position as guest designer for set 7 and 8 of Simply Sassy. You really helped making my job very hard! I hoped to announce the guest designer right after the call was over but with so many I needed help from my Sassy girls. 
 So they have sent me their votes by mail so they wouldn't be affected by each other's decision..
Still the top were a tie, so late night yesterday I remember Karen asking me if I wouldn't have two girls instead getting each their half set, and mailed the 2 girls at the top if they would share a spot..
And I got a YES from both :) 
So here are the new girls that will work hard to give you some Sassy inspiration


Aaaaaaaaaaaaand

  Using Hippie Chick

 Using Bad Hare day

So please give the girls a warm welcome :) 

Simply Rapunzel

Hello Sassy fans!  I hope you've had a wonderful day so far.  I have one of the new images to share with you today . . .


Rapunzel.  Isn't she beautiful?  I had a blast coloring her and all that gorgeous hair.  I used my copics and colored pencils to color this cutie.  I added some lace and ribbon, and then made a little lacey rosette for my embellishment.  I added a few pearls and a butterfly to finish my card.




Now, if you haven't already seen Autumn's beautiful project, scroll down to check out her post from earlier today.  And be sure to stop by tomorrow to check out another fabulous tutorial from Tracy.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Stamp:  Sugar Nellie Simply Sassy - Rapunzel (which can be purchased at Funky Kits)
Paper:  My Mind's Eye; Bazzill
Other:  Copics, Caran d'Ache and Prismacolor pencils, gamsol, lace, ribbon, pearls, flower, MS tag punch, MS butterfly punch 

Winking Wednesday!

Hey Sassy Fans! Hope you are having a wonderful week so far!! Thanks to all of you who joined in on our blog hop, I hope you enjoed yourselves and maybe got some new rubbah too!! Well here in the U.S. we've got teacher appreciation day comming up soon so I thought Our resident


 ...'Winking Student' would be perfect for just such an occassion! She is such a cutie and will be perfect for my sons teacher as she's quite young. The papers I've used here are from the Basic Grey Oliver collection.
You'll also notice I've made some new flowers. Truth be told I need to order some more, but they don't have the ones I want in stock so it may be a wait. In the mean time, I'll be trying out some new embellishments.  I'd also like to note with my nice dotty paper I can enter my card into the Sugar Nellie FB challenge, so make sure your checking out what's going on over there ladies!


Here's a closer view of the little cutie! So much detail to this stamp, I love it! You can find her here at Funky Kits! I think that about does it for me. Sorry I've forgotten to photograph my copics this time around. Please be sure to stop by later today to see what lovely creation Anita has for you!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Tuesday Spotlight on..


Have you been to Vicky's blog?? If not than your in for a treat here, her Sassy cards are gorgeous and here is what she made for us


I live in Essex with my lovely hubby Steve of 20 years and a Mum to George (17) and Bexx (15)
I work full time as a Senior Theatre Sister at my local hospital and card making is my way of "chilling out" after a busy day...

I started card making 6 years ago when my lovely daughter wanted a card making kit from Argos!...
I loved it but Bexx hated it and the rest is history!

My favourite colouring medium is Promarkers and chalks...
I love mixing the two mediums together to get a softer look especially to skin tones.

Oh..my favourite Sassy..now that's hard lol! but I think it has to be Hippie Chick
cos' it was the first one I coloured!

I came across these Sassy's over at Sugar Nellie blog...and it was love at first sight!

My fave style is clean and simples lol...
.I love clean lines, layers and minimal embellishments...I feel the image should be the main focal point.

I would love to see some challenges and more tutorials....especially on different colouring mediums..

Thank you for spotlighting me Maria Therese...it is such an honour and thanks for having me...xx

Here are some gorgeous Sassy cards from Vicky's blog
Using Call me

Using Laid back Dude

Using Hippie Love

Using Pillow Talk

Using Spread your wings

As you can see with all these gorgeous cards in her blog it was hard to choose.
So go visit Vicky for more Simply Sassy inspiration!!
Thank you Vicky for sharing your gorgeous cards with us!!
And I know Vicky would love some sweet comments!

Oh La La

Morning Sassy Fans,

I do hope you enjoyed the Hop yesterday and if you haven't yet been on it you have until tomorrow evening to complete it, and as there are only 6 of us, its a real quick one!

It's hard to top the amazing creations that the DT put on for you yesterday but here goes...... As you will see I'm back to my Tracy style, lots of everything, lol......


This fabby stamp I think is my favourite in this set and I can see her on a forthcoming Anniversary card, but she screams Paris and Love  to me so I have gone with the Paris theme and added an Eiffel Tower stamp on accetate in the background and also a film strip also on accetate, love this as an embellishment, oh and a little postcard, cos although she lives in France she is on holiday in Grand Paris.


I have coloured her using all the "C's" Copics, and the flower using G82, G40 and V17, V15, V12
