Anything Goes When the Game is Stump the Boss

The Sassy Cheryls Challenge Blog is playing Stump the Boss this week with Sassy Cheryl. How you say, well this week Cheryl has to put a DT name to the cards created by the group. We'll know on Tuesday how she did, but since I know these girls to be as sneaky as Cheryl herself, I'm betting on the DT stumping her(I love you Cheryl, but I remember last year). At any rate since they're trying to stump her, the challenge this week for a free SC image in a random drawing is ANYTHING GOES!!!! That works for me!

For my card, I've chosen this image from the Sassy Cheryl's Digi Store called Going To See the Star. I imagine this Little Girl has heard the story of the Christ Child and the Star that led the Wisemen and is on a journey of her own. She's colored with Copics. I have always loved this image and though Cheryl has a ton of new images(some of which I own), I had to use this one.

The papers are from a digital kit from Pickleberry Pop by Designs from CRK. The Sketch I used is this week's Clean and Simple Sketch. Finally the sentiment, I simply typed in Word and printed it out.

Pink with an Inspiration

Now knowing how I love the color Pink, it does not make me happy to know that I've been so busy this past month with getting ready for my Fall Camp Taz and a visit from our daughter and MonkeyMoo, that I have not participated in the first 3 Pink Challenges on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. I can positively report that the girls have had their annual squeezing though and that's a really good thing.  This week's challenge had as an added addition to the Pink an inspirational picture provided by the Sassy Miss Dawn. This is the picture that she posted.

I loved the shapes of the plates as well as the colors, so I decided to use the plates and the colors for my inspiration. First off, my task was to duplicate the shape of the smaller plates. Using a die cut shape from Penny Duncan Creations and doing some overlaying and cutting to create the small plate shape. The papers were all out of my scrap box and that's a REALLY good thing.

I had printed out 5 images to choose from for my card, but none of them was right for the plate shape. If you're focusing on plates, then you have to do food. It's a given.  I used this image called Birthday Cake Desire(and don't we all desire a good piece of cake). I've colored it with lots of Copics(see my SMT post if you don't beleive me). Sassy Cheryl has been on a roll of creating new images so be sure to come and check them out to the Sassy Cheryls Digi Store. She also has a store for colored images called Sassy Cheryls Illustrations for those times when you don't have time to color or you need to produce multiple cards.

The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Stampabilities stamped on more scrap paper, glued to a toothpick and stuck under the image.

I think I met the challenge and am more than happy with the results.
