Welcome to the Sassy Studio Designs FANtastic blog hop. It's been a while but anything worth having is worth waiting on. Sorry about the late posting but this darn new format from Blogger is very screwy. I scheduled this post to go live at 3:00 AM EST and what happened? Absolutely nothing. Luckily I'm up early this morning and decided to check on how the hop was going. And now, on to the show!
You should have arrived here from Mary's blog. If you didn't, you might want to do a little backtracking. Just click on the link and you'll be there in a flash. If you didn't start at SSD you'll need to start there to get all the info on how to win free images. At the end of this post is a list of all the DT and their blogs. You'll want to visit each and everyone to experience the awesomeness of the entire Sassy Studio Design Team!
So without further ado...I'd like you to meet "Renaissance Sassy."
I colored "Renaissance Sassy" with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. I fussy cut and popped her up with pop dots. The base is Kraft cardstock and layered with various papers from my stash. The printed paper is Close To My Heart. I used some distressing techniques as well as decorative colored pearls also from my stash. The flowers and leaves were cut with the Close To My Heart "Art Philosophy" cartridge and my Cricut. The branches were made using a Martha Stewart branch punch. I also used one of my favorite Nestabilites die cuts. The sentiment is from TLC Creations.
As a part of this hop the DT was asked to share our favorite and least favorite crafting tool. Well I can immediatlye say that my least favorite tool is those darn goofy scissors with the different edges. I absolutely hate them. I couldn't get a decent continuous cut with them if my life depended on it. As a matter of fact I think I've thrown them away.
My favorite crafting tool are rubberbands. That's right, plain 'ol ordinary rubber bands. I have them everywhere and on everything. So what am I using them for? First I love my Tim Holtz Distress Inks but those tops are the most ill-fitting of any ink pads I've ever seen. I rubberband them together in "3's" and it's perfect. Another thing I use them for are my Nestabilities. I keep my Nestabilities in a small photo album and keep the album together with what else? A rubberband. I keep my groups of Prismacolor pencils together with rubberbands as well. I could go on and on but you get the idea. Probably not what you're expecting as a crafting tool but it works for me and I subscribe to the "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" school!
BTW be sure to join us tonight on the party blog for a chat with the design team! The party starts at 7pm PDT (10pm EDT). Hope to "see" you there!
From here, your next stop should be to Rebecca's blog. She's "got skills" and you won't want to miss her stop!
