Simply The Best...

Simply the best is such a fitting title for today's post, because I have some of THE. BEST. news to share with you! I am sooooo excited to tell you that I was chosen to be part of the design team for Pink Cat Studio. OMG. There are no words. Seriously. Did you see the other DT members? I feel like people look at the list and automatically start singing, "one of these things is not like the others..." when they get to my name. lmbo! Ok, so maybe it's not quite that drastic, but you know what I mean, right?

Here's the DT list for 2009:

*big ol' goofy happy dance*

(we're talking the "running man" here, people! *snort*)

I can't wait to show you their A.DOR.A.BLE. new releases just in time for Valentine's Day. You'll love them. I promise.

And speaking of new releases, check out this cute set from Artistic Outpost. I saw this and a few other new releases posted on my friend Debby's blog this morning, and wouldn't you know it... I just HAD to pop over to AO and buy the dang thing. I hate it when that happens, but I think I've mentioned before that I'm a sucker for a retro image.



Finally, I have another Bellaholics Anonymous sketch challenge to share with you! Here is the sketch for this month:


And here is my take on it:

This card caused me nothing but grief tonight. UGH. I had the whole card almost done, and was sitting there with my crimson copic marker doing a little outlining on the cape. I started telling my dh about something, and looked down to see that the damn marker was DRIPPING on my image! WTH?! I was soooooo ticked. It wouldn't have been so bad if I actually owned the stamp, but I don't. I received two images of it from a swap I was in awhile back, and now they are both gone. I had to cut one out to piece it over the other, and had to color in a little darker under her arm than I would have liked to to compensate. I would have just started a different card, but I just didn't have the time tonight and I knew I wouldn't be getting back to my stamping room until late Saturday, so this had to suffice. I hate it when that happens.

Anyhow, if you play along with the sketch, be sure to link your creation up here for a chance to win a little prize from me!
Happy Stamping!
Sarah

Sarah, congratulations on the DT position!! Thats awesome news!! I love your bella card! Love your sketch too!! Might have to give that a try! Your colors look great! That's so weird that your marker was dripping! I hate it when I ruin an stamped image I don't have many of. I'm a lot more likely to mess up an image when I don't own the stamp, lol.

Lise Roy said...

Congratulations!!!
I am so excited to be on the team with you.
Your cards are gorgeous!

Holly Young said...

Sarah I can tell how excited you are, and it is really wonderful news for you. I'm not surprised a bit though because you make such wonderfully cute things and I can't wait to see what you come up with for Valentine's Day.
This card is adorable! I've had one of my copics bleed out on me too. They say it's a change in air pressure that does that, and if you remove the caps and let your pen sit a minute it will fix it.

Alysabeth said...

I'm SSSSOOOO happy for I get SSSSSSOOOO much from your blog and think you'll do them proud.

I'm a little upset too though, because I was planning on applying and had my application all drawn up. I had the deadlines recorded as Dec. 19th and Jan 3rd for the announcment????????

I guess I missed an update changing them! POOP.

Dani said...

Heather Schlatter said...

Wow Sarah look at you I had to scroll down thru your comments for like 10 minutes before I got to where I could leave one!!!! ha ha

Well I can not promise I will not do another challenging challenge some time, but it will be a long time because 1 out of the 2 Challenges a month will be issued by the DT and the other one will be issued by a Pink Cat Group Member, and since I just took my turn it should be awhile before it is my turn again. So you can rest for awhile!!! LOL.

love those stamps you got and love the Bella Card. I used that stamp in May for my Teacher Appriciation cards and I used our SU wheel with all the stars and then I printed out My Teacher.... My Hero... on SU card stock and punched them out with the Large Star Punch and did some faux sewing Then I took our retired SU simply scrappin set and used the frame that says cut above the rest and put the teachers picture in it too.

I love this Bella you can use her for so many things!

I love your whole card. You do wondeful work and I really look forward to getting to know you more this next year!!!!

Congrats again girl keep on doing that messy old Happy Dance!!!!

Heather
