Sassy In The City - Fabulous Friends

Welcome Sassy crafters!  Today is a super exciting one.  We are celebrating reaching 700 members at the SSD Papercraft Planet Group with a Progressive Challenge featuring a fabulous new release of Sassy in the City images!  Participants will have two days to complete each challenge. Those who complete challenge #1 will receive the next image via e-mail. In order to earn image #3, you will have to participate in a second challenge, then a third challenge to claim image #4, the final image. There will be a winner selected from each of these challenges. There will be a final challenge for the GRAND prize. This challenge will close July 2nd.

Prizes:
Besides earning awesome freebies along the way, there will be a random winner drawn from each challenge's entrants for two SSD images of your choice! For those who make it to the last challenge.... At the end there will be a random drawing for one lucky winner who will receive 4 images from the upcoming July release before they hit the Sassy Studio Designs store! That winner will also be given the opportunity to be our guest new release designer and have a creation they make using one of those July images featured on the Sassy Studio Designs blog on release day! In addition, fans can win by commenting on the challenges! We will be drawing two random winners for a SSD image of choice just for leaving some love.

PCP Fun:
We'll have festivities there as well with trivia, more prizes, and chit chat.

 The first image available to everyone (for a limited time only though!) to start the progressive challenge is Charlotte.  Isn't she great?  For the first challenge, we want to see a creation focused on friendship.  I definitely have some Charlotte-esque traits, so I was excited to be able to work with her.  I knew for sure I wanted to paper piece her dress, and the first thing that came to mind was black and white polks dots.  Then I found the aqua paper with the little black bows (part of a stack at Michaels) and it just screamed Charlotte to me...it reminded me of Tiffany's signature box, and the bows are very demure and lady-like.  The rest of her is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped up.  Once again, I ran out of room on the front for the sentiment, so I turned into an easel card, so I could be sure to get the sentiment featured somehow.  I love this one.  And I definitely have a lot of shoes!
Week 212 - Sketch Saturday

Papers:  Recollections, and Stampin' Up cardstock
Embellies:  Recollections and WOC flowers.
Punches:  Corner punch

Whew!  I think I covered everything.  We are super excited to see what everyone does with these new releases.  Be sure to visit the SSD Papercraft Planet Group to join in the festivities, and don't forget to stop by Sassy Studio Designs blog to see what we have been up to for the month of June.  There have already been 4 mini releases that are avaialable in the SSD Shop.  Both Lindsay and the Design Team have been very busy!
Looking forward to the celebration and can't wait to see all the fantastic entries!
