It's SO Blue

This week the theme for the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog is BLUE. Well, that worked for me. I needed birthday card for my younger daughter whose turning 42 on Thursday(this doesn't mean I'm getting old though).

For this card, I chose this image called Sassy Sally and Her Oversized Birthday Cake. When we SKYPED with our daughter and our grandson tonight, we saw her birthday cake. It was a Star Wars 6" cake with 10 cupcakes(seems the cakes are always to please the grandson and not the parent). It certainly wasn't as beautiful a cake as Sally has prepared. She is colored with Prisma Color and Faber-Castell pencils, blended with Gamsol.

The papers are from the Serenity, a digital kit from Just So Scrappy 2. Susanna Boyd's newletter from PaperCraft Planet showed a digital card creating chevrons made with squares. Well, you all know me, I'm not going to cut anything with a pair a scissors, if I can use my Cameo to cut and that's exactly what I did.

Are you surprised that I beat my usual 3:30 on Monday afternoon posting? I want you all to know, that I passed up cleaning house to make my card. Now aren't you all impressed? Guess that's what I'll be doing at 3:30 on Monday.

  2. Hey Miss Shirley! house cleaning can always wait with there is fun crafting to do! this is beautiful! love your sweet design and amazing coloring with the pencils.. I am thinking that you must like the pencils-- just a weeee bit:) cause you are using them a lot more.. good for you. you have the best of both worlds with pencils and copics.
    We have very cold this morning, just around 28* Heavy frost everywhere.. guess winter isn't over.. even though yesterday was very warm.
    Your sweet daughter is going to love this adorable sassy card from her Awesome Mom!
    So happy that you had some time to get sassy with us in our Blues challenge this week!

  7. Do you know what the definition of house work? Housework, an obtrusive interuption to the pleasures of the creative process. Non-productive nuisance and a royal pain in the patoody, Please avoid it at all costs.

    Your mittens and hat look so comfy and warm. Enjoy them.

    Happy Birthday DD.
