It's Only A Number!



Welcome to the joint hop with Corrosive Challenge!  The challenge is "It's Only A Number".  We were to create a birthday-related card but it had to have a number or numbers on it!  Lindsay created several brand new '80s themed images for this joint challenge...Smurfette, Rainbow Brite, Jazzercise, Flashdance, Daphne and Velma from Scooby Doo, Jessica Rabbit and Strawberry Shortcake. Lindsay did a fabulous job recreating these iconic images!  What fun...and what memories these images bring back to those of us who remember the 80s!

You should have arrived here from my sassy little bro, Greg's blog.  If not, go back to the Sassy Studio Designs blog to start at the beginning!  You don't want to miss anything!  On both the SSD blog and the Corrosive Challeng blog, there will be 5 trivia questions.  One winner from each will be chosen to win four (4) of the new SSD images.  There will also be one random winner chosen from each blog to win an image, AND there will be a challege listed on the Corrosive blog for you to play along!  Every entry into the challenge will receive a freebie from SSD, and the winner of the challenge will win a prize of ALL of these new 80s images!  So, make sure to comment on each blog along the way and make sure to play along with the challenge.  We can't wait to see what you create!!

My card is made using Daphne from Scooby Doo.  Hope you like her!



Your next stop on your 80s journey is Adina's blog. I know you'll love what she's created!!
Here is the entire blog hop list just in case you get lost along the way!

What's Up? Design D.I.V.A.S. OBG Blog Hop!

I was lucky enough to be invited to join the Design D.I.V.A.S. group on Facebook. We are 75 of THE most talented stampers and I am honored to be among such talent! The group has decided that on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, we will have a blog hop. I love blog hops and this one should be lots of fun- 36 blogs to check out! You should have arrived here from Gina Lindsay's blog. If you didn't, start here so you don't miss anything exciting!!!

The theme is "Oldies But Goodies". If you're like me, I buy stamps, papers, and embellishments, and then many sit unused. For this swap, we are to create a project- a card, a 3-D item, a scrapbook layout, etc.- using stamping supplies that are at least 6-months old. I have so many stamps that have never seen ink, packs of designer paper that are unopened, and a plethora of ribbon that could use some love...and that made it really hard for me to decide which unloved items to use! But, after much deliberation, here is what I came up with:

I bought this stamp set, Sew Pretty, from Gina K, a long time ago...I had never used it for a card, even though I love it. I also bought the "Nook and Pantry" patterned paper from Basic Grey, nearly a year ago. I admit, I'm a paper hoarder. I buy pretty paper and then can't seem to bring myself to cut into it! This card is 5-1/4" square. Cardstock used: SU's Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla. Patterned paper: Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry. Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black. Embellishments: Light green Dew Drops, yellow flower from Petaloo, green satin ribbon from Offray, Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon from SU. Accessories: SU's medium and scalloped oval punches, pop dots, Copic markers- E47, RV02, G31, E21, ZOTS glue dots, Alene's Jewel-It glue.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you've enjoyed my "Oldies But Goodies" card. Your next stop on the hop is Sandy H.'s blog. Wait till you see what she has in store for you!

Sherrod Studio Sneak Peek # 2

So, are you ready for more??? Here are a couple more sneak peeks using the “All Hallow’s Eve” set scheduled for release on August 13th. I am LOVING these fabulous Halloween images!!!
The first card uses the cute witchy-girl. It is a 5-1/4” square card. The card base is SU’s Basic Black with a layer of Green Galore and Cast-a-Spell DSP. The image is stamped on GP110 white CS using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics. The main image is popped up on dimensionals. The brads are from Reflections and the wide orange grosgrain ribbon is from Offray.
This second card I just LOVE! I guess it’s the bright colors that I love- along with a very cool bubbling cauldron image! The card base is SU Basic Black. I cut strips of Pumpkin Pie, Green Galore and Eggplant Envy and embossed them using 3 different Cuttlebug embossing folders- Spider Web, Bubbles and D’Vine Swirls. The cauldron image is stamped on GP110 white using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with…all together now…Copic Markers! The “Hocus Pocus” image is punched out using the small oval punch and popped up on dimensional. The really cool sheer plaid Halloween ribbon is from Michael’s and the purple and green brads are Reflections.

I hope that you’re enjoying these sneak peeks! Remember, these stamp sets will be available for purchase at http://www.sherrodstudio.com/ starting Thursday, August 13th! Don’t forget to check out the Sherrod Studio Design Team members’ blogs for even more fun peeks!! There’s more to come - and tomorrow we’ll talk “turkey”!!

Sherrod Studio SNEAK PEEK # 1

It’s blog hop time!! Sherrod Studio will be releasing 3 brand spanking new stamp sets on August 13th, so from August 10th through the 13th we’ll be giving you some sneak peeks at what Sherrod Studio has in store! Make sure to stop by Sherrod Studio’s blog (http://sherrodstudio.blogspot.com/) for a chance to win!

The set that I’m giving you a peek at today is called “All Hallow’s Eve”. Included in this set there is a cute witchy-girl on a broom, a scraggily cat, a haunted house, a bubbling cauldron, and a whole bunch of sentiments.

The first card is using the cute witchy-girl. The base card is SU Basic Black. The patterned paper is some I found in the $1.00 bin at Michael’s and is by Colorböc. The image is stamped onto GP110 white CS using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used my SU Basic Black marker fine tip to doodle around the edge of the image (to match the doodle design in the patterned paper). The flowers are Primas and the cool green and white striped brads are Reflections. Isn’t she jus t adorable?!?

The second card for today is made using the haunted house image from the All Hallow’s Eve set. The image is stamped onto GP110 white CS using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I chose not to color the image- I thought being black and white gave it a spookier look, and just sponged black ink along the edges of the image panel. Again, the card base is SU Basic Black, layered with Pumpkin Pie and Cast-a-Spell DSP (I just LOVE that DSP!) The black and green organdy ribbons are from Offray.

My last card for today uses the scraggily cat image. The card is 4 x 8-1/2”. I punched out a 1-3/8” circle in a scrap piece of paper, then used that as a “stencil” to sponge the moon onto GP110 white cardstock using SU’s Summer Sun ink. Then I stamped the cat using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it using my Copic W-3 marker. I then stamped “Happy Haunting”, which is actually 2 separate stamps and sponged around the edges of the image using Basic Black ink. Then I paper punched along the edges. The purple brads are from Reflections. The flowers are Primas. All papers are SU (Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Green Galore and 2 different patterns of Cast-a-Spell DSP) except for the white which is GP110. (Sorry if this picture is a little blurry- Blogger doesn't seem to like this size card!) EDIT: Looks like Blogger REALLY doesn't like this size card- it's cut part of it off...

Make sure to stop back by again tomorrow for more sneak peeks!! And while you’re at it, make sure to stop by the Sherrod Studio’s Design Team members’ blogs for more peeks at what’s in store!!
