Princess Party Woot Woot!!

After my Cricut Cake arrived, my daughters 4th Birthday soon followed. SSOO to execute my justification of buying my little luxury, I tried to match the Princess Cake with the invitations I made. I will post a picture of the invitations soon.

This cake was a lot of work and took me HOURS longer to finish then it should have. I learned so much about fondant vs. sugar paste and why, no matter how long you wait, fondant doesn't dry stiff like sugar paste does. The initial castle pieces slumped. It was FUNNY!! Turns out those folks who get paid to professionally do cakes definitely earn every cent. If you EVER think "HEY let's DIY a Princess Party" it looks easy enough!! Take my adivce.. DO NOT EVER SEE THIS THOUGHT THROUGH! I probably spent 10 times what it would have cost me otherwise HAHAHAHA.

And on that note.. my blog will be full of these kinds of projects. I promise LOL.

Under Construction

Thank you so much for your patience while I get this blog up and running.

I've always posted my crafts and cards on my Facebook page but I needed a larger forum. Between the pictures of my family and activities, my Facebook profile and picture albums are getting very large. I want to purge them in an attempt to make sure I have everything saved. I have gotten into the habit of posting the pics instead of saving them and getting them printed. Bad!!! Very Bad!!!!

If Facebook or Snapfish EVER shutdown... the last 10 years or so of my family history is wiped clean.

I will be updating and posting past projects, to get caught up, over the next several days. Please continue to check back to see what I am up to and what I've done.

Thanks again for stopping by!!

This is my very first card. It's a little primitive. When I made this, my supplies were limited. Also, my Cricut had just been delivered and I had NO CLUE how to use it.

Welcome!!

Well Hey Yall!!

Welcome to my Sassy Page!!! I look forward to you joining me on my adventures in paper and glue.

I am a new scrapper. I was bit by the Cricut Bug Jan 2011 and have been in a craft tizzy ever since. I needed a place to post all my wonderful (at least I think so) creations as I learn to navigate my creativity.

My first picture upload will be substantial since I've been busy for the last 8 months. After I get started, I will try to post at least 2 - 3 times a week. depends on how cooperative the Pygmy's are. The better they behave, the more I can craft and post. Funny how that works huh?


OK uploads in progress... I will check in later.

Creative Process

When I get in the zone this is what my creative process looks like. I do not have a dedicated craft room so my dining room does double duty. It's not bad to craft in the dining room. However, that is not the case when I'm right in the middle of something and the juices are flowing, then I have to clean up for dinner.
