This week's challenge is sponsored by the wonderful and fabulous 

Sassy Studio Designs 

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 2 years now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born!  It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep

Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

Before I present my project, I would like to present a fabulous guest designer...Haidee at Created2Bunique is here and this is what she has to say...

Hello creative friends, my name is Haidee from created2Bunique. I am excited to be here for Lisa and this incredible opportunity I was given. I am mother of two boys, married to a SUPER FANTASTIC man  and full-time executive secretary. I have scrap-booked/crafted for over 13 years. I have just started to make greeting cards in the last  year. I was created to be unique by God and that is so true I am unique.lol! 

My ideas come from out of no where and I work best at last minute projects. 

I have learned that what I like 'least" everyone 'likes' most. Creating with my hands has been such a great enjoyment that I spend much of my time in my playroom a.k.a. scrapbook-room. 

I never turn down a challenge with crafts and never turn down a good sale, hehehe. I enjoy sharing my creative ideas- rather it's big or small  

Please enjoy the following projects...

Aren't her cards just super cute?!  Please make sure you visit Haidee's blog today and say hello.

My blog will have a lot of different projects.  I have cards, gift card holders, food and much more.  I have surprise blog candy so make sure you comment on each day.
