Sassy Saturday(Sunday)

Good afternoon, hope all is well with you, and your enjoying your Sunday.   I’m loving my nice quiet relaxing day-watching football!   Yes, this is a day late.  But since we were having our release yesterday, I decided to do this today.  This week we are featuring Sandra.  She sent this gorgeous princess card in.  I love all the glitter and sparkle.

So pretty Sandra, thank you for sharing with us.  You are our SASSY SATURDAY SISTAH.  If you’d like to be featured or know someone who should be, please email me at luvs2stamp71@att.net.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

HALLOWEEN HOP TIME

The waiting is over and it is time for some amazing new releases!  We teased you all week long and now the wait is over.  All the new images will be available for you to have for your very own.  This is actually the first of two Halloween releases.  That's right, I said two.  Lindsay had so many great ideas that they all didn't fit into just one release.  But let's not get ahead of ourselves. 

Before I give you all the details, I have an announcement to make.  As you know we had one heck of a Masquerade Ball on Paper Craft Planet.  I am proud to announce that our big winner is Christine.  Please visit her blog at http://happyscrapper-sweetpeacards.blogspot.com/2011/09/halloween-release-party-for-sassy.html.  She made an amazing project to celebrate our release.  Now on to business.

Today we have an awesome Halloween Hop.  The Design Team has created some super sassy projects and they are all waiting for you.  We also have a couple of great prizes for you.  First, leave a comment here on the SSD blog telling us what your favorite Halloween tradition is.  Doing so will put you in the running for 3 amazing digital images from SSD!!!  We will also have a Party Chat tonight at 7 pm Pacific time.  You can chat with all the DT members and other crafters.

But that's not all.  Follow the Halloween Hop and each blog will have a Halloween trivia question.  Leave a comment along with your answer to the trivia question for a chance at an awesome digi from SSD.  You don't have to get the answer right to win.  Just give us your best guess.  We will draw one random winner from all the blogs.  That winner will receive one digi of their choice.  Now make sure you leave a comment on each blog.  There is no telling which one we will pick the winner from. 

Now let's get to hopping.  Here is the order:

SSD Blog - you are here

Rebecca

Kathy

Julie

Sara

Regan

Lindsay

Laura - Guest Designer

Enjoy the hop and don't forget to comment here with your favorite Halloween tradition.  Then come back tonight for the Party Chat.  See you later.

Dracula is Here

It is time for our last preview before the big release.  Today, our own Super Sassy Julie brought Dracula himself to life.

Julie always does great work but this one is my absolute favorite.  I am just amazed.  I love the dark quality, the papers, the coloring...everything!!  Great job Julie.  Tomorrow is the big Halloween Hop.  We will have trivia, prizes and a party chat of course.  All the details will be posted here tomorrow.  Please join us for all the fun!
