Sassy Studio Designs 2nd FAN-tastic Blog Hop

Welcome to Sassy Studio Designs 2nd FAN-tastic fan-inspired Release. If you got here from Kim's blog you are on the right track (the full hop list is below for reference).

For this blog hop, we were asked to post our favorite and least favorite tool. My most favorite tool to use is my Cuttlebug. I use it for embossing and die cutting. I just love it and use it all the time. My least favorite tool is my McGill Daisy Punches. I bought these because I wanted to be able to make a layered daisy, but these punches do not work well with card stock. I have to put all my weight down on these punches to cut through card stock. It is very annoying.

Leave a comment on the Sassy Studio Designs Blog Hop Post telling us what your most/least favorite tool is and you will have a chance to win 3 of the brand new images. There will also be 2 prizes for 1 new image each to be drawn at random from the comments left on all the DT blogs. You never know which blog will have the winners, so make sure you leave comments on everyone's blogs.

Here is the card I created using the new FAN-tastic fan-inspired image Wednesday Sara Addams (isn't she cute):


Paper: Real Red, Whisper White Card Stock and Ghostly Greetings Designer Series Paper
Stamps: Sassy Studio Designs - Wednesday Sara Addams Digital Image
Markers: Blush Blossom, Real Red, Basic Gray, Basic Black, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip and Silver Glitter Pen
Accessories: Large Oval Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Basic Jumbo Grommets - Basic Black and Mini Glue Dots
