Wow what a wonderful weekend we had! We celebrated reaching 300 members over at PCP so much fun! We had a freebie, we had a game here on the blog and we got to chat with a bunch of our fans on PCP as well. Thank you to who all who were able to join in on the fun. We will have another celebration when we hit 400 so keep an eye out!

SO we skipped a few days here between introductions but I was not done yet so lets continue with these....

Today we have Larisa! Larisa is also a seasoned member she helps keeps things flowing over at PCP she hosts our monthly guest designers over there. And she also is in charge of our weekly Dare to be sassy challenges. So without further adieu lets get to know Larisa a little better!

Larisa Hohman, 29, married, no kids, two fur babies, Texas. I'm a high school English teacher and have been a crafter for about 7 years now. I just started stamping about a year and a half ago and I was immediately addicted! As soon as I found Lindsay's new shop, I knew I wanted to be a part of the design team. So i tried out last winter and made it! Now I oversee the Sassy Thursday Challenges and the Guest Designer Contests on PCP. I absolutely love anything girly so Lindsay's creations are perfect for me! I'm so excited to be a part of this team so I can share my creativity and craftiness with all of you!

Happy Tuesday!

Well Monday just flew right by for me, I barely got half the stuff done on my to do list ;( and now I have to go back to work today. So I am a little late posting this introduction to you today but we have a wonderful sponsorship we are doing and it is posted below this post so be sure not to miss out on it.

So today I would like to introduce to you....

Marilyn!

Hi, my name is Marilyn Webb, and I am so happy to be part of the Sassy Studio Design Team. I have been happily married to my biggest fan for 17 years, I have three children, and two grand-babies. My first and foremost love is for my family, the rest of me is devoted to creating. I have been stamping for about 20 years now, but the last 5 years has really developed into my passion. I am usually "flying by the seat of my pants" when I am making a card. I color my image, then pick my papers, and yeah I change my mind constantly when I start to put it together, but I eventually get there. I wouldn't know how to make a card in one hour!

When I am not working with stamps, I love to knit, crochet, read, and do some decorative painting. I love to cook for my family and friends, especially Italian foods.

I look forward to working with, and getting to know the other members of the design team, and getting to know the Sassy Studio fans, and what could be better than creating with Lindsay's gorgeous images!

Marilyn

Any questions you want to ask Sassy Studio Designs? Have you ever thought about making sassy Goth girls?

Happy Monday! So some of you may have the day off of work like I do and some of you may have to still work like my hubby Chris does. So whichever applies to you I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July, and that you now have a wonderful Monday.

So I wanted to take a moment 1st thing today to introduce to you our next new member of the Sassy Seven.... Kathy!

Hi, I'm Kathy! So excited to be part of the Sassy Studio Design Team. I love the fun and girly images and can't wait to create lots of projects with them. I've been crafting for as long as I can remember. Started scrapbooking about 10 years ago then stamping 7 years ago. Recently I've discovered the world of digis and love them. Crafting is a little bit of "me" time. I've been married for nine years and have four children. I spend my days taking care of my little ones, so at night I need a little "me" time. Looking forward to sharing lots of sassy projects with all of you.

9. If you could create your very own sassy image, what would it be? Mine would have wine in one hand and chocolate in the other, LOL. I would love to see some more ethnic looking sassy images, too.

10. Any questions you want to ask Sassy Studio Designs? Can't think of any, i've been asking lots on the message board and everyone is so helpful! Thanks again for having me, I'm having a blast already!
