New Releases, Blog hop and Challenge

Hello everyone! Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends! Hope you're enjoying Canada's birthday! We're heading out later on to the fairgrounds to see what's going on!!

But till then, it's PARTY TIME and RELEASE DAY at Sassy Studio Designs! This is my first official release since being chosen for the design team! I'm so excited about this one! It's SO pretty! Lindsay has designed some amazing wedding images! All the design team members are posting their wedding photos too! :D Check out mine below! That was almost six years ago!! (In September!)

We're having another blog hop to celebrate today's release. If you want to get your hands on the new images, head over to the store. Or you can play along with the challenges today to win free images! (You can click on the logo above too and it will take you to the store!)

We're doing a scavenger hunt again...you need to hop to all the DT's blogs and see their amazing projects and find the hidden words! You should see what the new team has come up with!
At each of the blogs you will get a keyword. You will need to go around your house a gather all of these items and take a picture of them and email them to Lindsay. 1 random winner will be selected of all the entries with all the images that winner will get any 3 SSD images of their choosing. (Your secret word from me is CAKE or CAKE TOPPER!)

I can finally tell! Cardabilities Reveal

Here's my sketch for this month's reveal at Cardabilities! This is my second last one! My term is up at the end of June!! Karan's having a design team call for the next term and today is the last day to get your applications in!

I used two stamps from TSB (The Stamping Boutique)...and put them together. This will probably be a Father's Day card for my dad or Grandpa from the kids!

Thanks for checking out my blog today! OH, and I have some other news but I need to wait for the okay to say what it is!!! ;0) I'm very excited about it though!

Digital Stamping on Candles??

Can this be done??

I'm here to say yes it can!!

So I decided to try out for the Sassy Studio Design Team Call...(I'm trying not to bite my nails waiting for the results!!)...so I thought I'd step out of the box and create something "different"!

We were given a freebie to create something for the call (I believe it's still posted there if you're interested in grabbing it!)...

1. I printed off the image and then traced it onto the tissue paper
2. I then took my Copics and coloured the tissue paper.
3. I made sure to have some cardstock underneath...it does "leak" through!!!
4. So, next you need to cut it as close to the image as you can
5. Using your embossing gun, slowly melt the wax a little to adhere the tissue paper to it
6. It will obviously melt the wax on the candle so just smooth it out as you go or roll it on the table...make sure it won't stick to your surface!

And VOILA! Here is my candle:

I'll keep you posted on the results!
