Sassy Saturday Spotlight

Happy Sassy Saturday!  Look at this gorgeous card I found by Caz of PAC Handmade Charity Cards:

She used the Carrie Sassy image from the Sassy in the City collection.  I just love the punched borders and the colors, and the Eiffel Tower is beautiful!  What a fun, fun sentiment, too...SO perfect for Carrie!

Caz, please email me at stampinlikecrazee@yahoo.com and I will send you a Sassy Saturday badge for your  blog.

Please remember to email me photos of your creations using SSD images.  You never know when you might find yourself in the spotlight!!!

Have a sassy week!
Hugs!!

Fabulous Freebie Friday

It's the most wonderful time of the year....  Back to School!  lol  My small man is too young yet but I know plenty of parents who are doing the proverbial happy dance, especially if you're a stay-at-homer!  Does this mean you'll be able to clean the house and run errands in record time?  Maybe.  But does it mean more crafting time?  Definitely!  And we're here to help you along with our Fabulous Freebie Friday on Paper Craft Planet!  Want a little hint at what today's 24 hour image is?  Here's a peek:

 But you'll have to head over and visit the PCP group for the rest!  Be sure to leave some love for the Fabettes and for our wonderful owner/artist Lindsay, who generously offers one of her gorgeous images for free each week.  There's a new challenge starting today too! And who doesn't want a chance to win more Sassy digis, right?  But remember that the FFF image is only for 24 hours beginning at 5am PDT/8am EDT. So what are you waiting for?  :)

Have an awesome weekend and Happy Labor Day to everyone in the U.S.!

Dare to be Sassy Thursday #140

Hi everyone and welcome to DTBST#140. We have a fun challenge for you this week. It's our monthly Christmas challenge, this month base your card or project on your favorite Christmas carol. 

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 of your choice.

There is some extra incentive for using a SSD image, you get to enter twice. So if you use one, make sure you link to your blog post and the second link can just be to your blog (it won't let you link to the same post twice). After your name, please put SSD, so we know why you are linking twice!

Before you check out what the talented DT has created, lets take a minute to congratulate our winner of DTBST#139. Congrats Asha! You've won 2 SSD images. Please contact me at kcurry71(at)gmail(dot)com with your choices. Check out Asha's cool star shaped card below, you can see the inside on her blog.

First Pop Up Sale Ever!

Hello All so I thought I would do something a little special. It's been a while since I've done many specials. I know the last few releases I have tried to offer the collection at a discounted price for the 1st few weeks it has been in the store because I know sometimes you can't decide, you want them all, so why not give you a little cut in the price. But that is a little limiting since it is only for the new release So I promise to try and do some POP UP SALES from time to time to show my love and appreciation for all of you and the support you have given me. 

So this will be our first POP UP SALE!

Buy any 5 images from our store this weekend and get this Captain Hook Honey for FREE! I will count all purchased images from Friday and Saturday towards it too, to be fair.

This offer is only good for another 48 hours so it will end at midnight PST (California time) Monday August 27th 2012. This Honey will not be put in the store until the 2nd collection of villains are released! Which may not be until October!  So you don't need to email me, how this will work is on Tuesday I will review all paypal transactions and automatically email you your freebie if you purchased 5 SSD images withing the 4 day qualifying period
