Sassy & Sexy SSD Release Hop

***blog candy alert***

Oh how I love this ball and chain on the bride to be!  🙂  I had to make a ball and chain stick pin to go with it!!  Oh, Guess what!!  I am giving away some blog candy to one of my commenters from this post.  What is the blog candy?  A 50% off coupon (no order minimums or maximums) to my stick pin store over at Etsy!  Just mention that you are interested in receiving 50% off  and I will add your name to my drawing (all are welcome including all DT’s who are commenting).  You don’t have to become a follower and you don’t have to post this candy on your blog (but I’d love it if you did)!  All you will have to do is mention someplace in your comment that you are interested in receiving a 50% off coupon.  I will post the winner’s name on July 4th here on my blog!  😀  If you don’t want to wait until July 4th to see if you won I have a coupon code for 10% off (good until July 4th) put sassyhop10 in the coupon code.

Okay, about my card and this fun hop we are having…I am not your final stop for this hop, if you just happened across my posting please be sure to start over at the Sassy Studio Designs main blog page so you can start from the beginning.  We are releasing two images this weekend (Bachelorette Sassy and Final Fling Sassy).  To win both all you need to do is share your favorite Bachelorette memory on the main blog site.  You are welcome to share with me there too, but the one that will really count will be on the main site!  Wanna hear my Bachelorette memory?  At my shower I had my Grandma, Mom, some ladies from church…you get the picture, right?  So I open one of the packages and what was in it?  The first thing I pull out was a jar of Marachino cherries, then whipped cream, then hand cuffs, then a book…not just any book; The Joy Of Sex.  Well, that was an interesting gift to open in front of all those “mature” ladies…I was so embarrassed!  And I am not one who is easily embarrassed (this was my second husband for pitty sake, and I have almost literally been there done that) but in front of my Grandma?  Yep, okay, that was my story!  LOL

Here is my card.  I used some two sided DP from a Stampin’ Up set, a sentiment I created and will share here with you today, some fun lace and pearl sprigs (isn’t that what they are called?) I found in the wedding section of Hobby Lobby, a couple carnations, and my stick pins.  I followed the sketch from The Sweetest Thing.  I added a solid green across the middle that I embossed and two ribbons to match.  I had a blast making the stick pin with the ball and chain.  Oh fun fun!

I had to glitter her up with some Stickles and add some Glossy Accents to the ball and cuff.  I think I saw these shoes at Bakers Shoe Store in the mall…  LOL

Here is the sentiment I created for her – just click on it to make it full sized then right click and select “save as”.

Thanks for looking!  Don’t forget to let me know if you would be interested in winning the 50% off coupon! 🙂  Now be sure to head on over to Rebecca‘s blog to see what she has done with one of these two beauties!
