Dare to be Sassy Thursday #89

Hi everyone and welcome to DTBST#89. We have a fun challenge for you this week. I'm calling it the 4 B's. Lets use brads, buttons, bows and bling on our projects this week. Use all four of these cardmaking faves this week! Please link back here to this challenge in your post as well.

Hope you will join the fun and give it a go. You don't need to use a SSD image to play along, but we love it when you do. Enter by next Wednesday night for your chance to win 2 SSD images.

Now a bit of fun news. Going forward we will be selecting the Guest Design Team members from the DTBST challenges. We are now looking for an October guest designer. In order to be considered for the position you MUST use a Sassy Studio Designs image on your challenge card and put GDT after your name. After the third challenge of the month the DT will select one of the applicants to work with us during September.

Hope we have lots of people entering!

Now for some inspiration from the DT:

Masquerade Ball Winners!!!

Hello, everyone! First, please let me apologize for the delay in posting the Sassy Masquerade blog hop winners! We had some technical difficulties to start then life got in the way. You know how that is, right? On top of it all, I'm having Internet connectivity issues. My wireless isn't working so I had to (horror) plug in and the connection is in my son's room. SO not convenient, but there I was in the dark last night while he slept, typing away! lol I had a post all set and ready to go for you this morning! Alas, when I hit publish post, *gulp*, Blogger ate it! So I had to wait until I got home to re-do it for you.

Anyway, enough of my whining... You want to know who the lucky winners are, don't you?!? Let me thank everyone who commented and chatted with us that day! It was fabulous to see so many Sassy fans turn out for this and to see some new faces as well! We were utterly amazed at the enthusiasm our party was greeted with! I think I'm still recovering from the festivities! And we are continuing to add new members every day! Best start planning that party for 500 now! Haha! Okay, okay.... Let's get down to it! One lucky commenter from each blog was chosen by random.org to win a not yet released 2011 Sassy Halloween image a whole week and a half before anyone else will see them! Are you ready to find out if that lucky someone is you? Here we go.....

Sassy Studio Designs - Carol (aka cmdesign)
Rebecca - Linda
Kathy - Jenn Zeeb
Julie - Ruza
Sara - Amanda R
Regan - Christine (aka happyscrapper)
Lindsay - Joyce (aka Gram's Treasures)
Laura (September GDT) - Sandra

Ladies, congrats and please e-mail Lindsay at sassystudiodesigns(at)yahoo(dot)com
to claim your prize!

I will be off to post a winner of the trivia on Paper Craft Planet shortly so stay tuned for that! Also remember that we have the Sassy Masquerade challenge going on and there are still a few more days to enter to win a FABULOUS prize! The winner will be chosen by design team vote and will get the entire 2011 Sassy Halloween collection a week before it's release AND the opportunity to have their project featuring one of those images featured on the Sassy Studio Designs blog on release day, September 17th!

Sassy Studio Designs goes to the Masquerade Ball

Remember when we told you that one day, when we reached 400 members on Paper Craft Planet, we would throw you a fabulous party? Well, we have not only met, but exceeded that goal and TODAY is that day! Welcome to the Sassy 400th Member Masquerade Ball! We have ALL sorts of fun in store for you today, both here and on PCP! On behalf of Lindsay and her entire design team, I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your support of Sassy Studio Designs! Without you, this would be no fun at all!

What do we have in store for you today, you ask? You are going to be AMAZED at the party we have planned! First up is a blog hop! This isn't any ordinary blog hop, though.... This is a hop where you will collect not one, not two, not three, but SEVEN FREE masquerade themed images plus some matching sentiments! Now, be sure to leave a comment on each blog as you go, including the SSD blog, because there will be a random winner chosen from among the comments on each blog. The author of the selected comment will receive a special prize - an unreleased image from our forthcoming Halloween collection! You will get it before anyone else has even seen a sneak peek of it! How cool is that?! Here is the hop order:

Sassy Studio Designs
Rebecca
Kathy
Julie
Sara
Regan
Lindsay
Laura (September GDT)

After you finish the hop, you'll then want to head over to Paper Craft Planet for moreFREEBIES, trivia questions with a chance to win an image of your choice, and of course some chit chat with each other and the design team.

We'll also be hosting three chat sessions on our party blog so we hope you'll stop by during one of those hour long sessions to say "hi" to the design team. We'll be on the party blog at 8am, 3pm, and 10pm (all EDT). Simply click the banner in the side bar to the right to join in!

BUT WAIT! There's more! As if that wasn't enough, we have a CHALLENGE for you as well! What do envision when you think of a masquerade? People in elegant costumes no doubt, but also of those elaborate masks covered in jewels, sequins, and feathers! And that is exactly what we want to see from you! Use any of the 7 new masked images to create a project embellished with bling or sequins or feathers or any combination of the three and link it below using the InLinz tool. You will have a week to play along. The winner will be chosen by design team vote and... wait for it.... will receive as a prize THE ENTIRE new Halloween collection slated for release in mid-September. And you will get them a week before anyone else! Plus you will be given the opportunity to make a project with one of those images to be featured on the SSD blog on release day, September 17th! The winner will be announced on Saturday, September 10th.

So, is your head spinning with all the fun, fabulous things we have planned for you today?!?! I hope you are as excited as we are about this, and we hope you love the images as much as we do!

The images will be available until Sunday evening, September 4th at 11:59pm (PDT). After that, in case you missed them, they will be added to the Sassy Studio Designs shop and available for purchase. Well, what are you waiting for, hike up the skirt on that ball gown and get hopping!!!

Sassy Christmas Challenge #6 - Non-Traditional Colors

PLEASE NOTE: This is our MONTHLY holiday challenge that requires use of a Sassy Studio Designs image!

It's September and for a lot of us that means our thoughts turn towards back to school. But SOME of us are already counting down the shopping days until Christmas! Yeah, you! You know who you are!

Before I get to this month's theme, I'd like to thank our entrants from August's "Let It Snow" challenge and announce our winner.....

Congratulations, Christine Garner!
This stunning card has won Christine 2 SSD images of her choice! Christine, please contact Sara at luvs2stamp71(at)att(dot)net to claim your prize!

This month we want to see some "Non-Traditional Colors" on your projects! Red and green are lovely, but we want to mix things up a bit! Pink, purple, orange, yellow... There's a whole rainbow of colors out there! Let's see what the design team has come up with for you:
