Cheers!!

Hello my friends ...

How is your day going?  

Mine didn't start out all that great but it's beginning to look up a bit!

Are you aware of the Progressive Challenge that the Sassy Studio Group has over at Paper Craft Planet (PCP)?  Jackie's been doing it for a few months now and I'm thrilled to say I've found made the time to play on each round.  This month you can choose either one of these 'Sassy' images to create with ...

OH NO!  I forgot one important factor!  The THEME ... which is OCTOBERFEST!
Guess it's back to the coloring board for me!!!

Lager Pin Up Sassy

Cheers Sassy

I chose "Cheers Sassy" and not only made one card ... but two!

LOL ... imagine that!

I chose "Cheers Sassy" so I could perch her on a variety of things.  My first card could be used for Valentine's Day ... a Birthday ... or even an Anniversary card since I have her perched on a heart.

 This card was quite simple to create once the coloring and fussy cutting were done!  Some background paper and two dies are all that are used on this creation.

Recipe:
Paper:  White cs, Pink cs, Black cs,  DCWV Valentine Sparkle 12x12 dp (RAK from friend 3 yrs ago)
Accessories: Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Fiskars swivel craft knife, Memory Box #98373 Whimsical Flourish, Memory Box #98479 Heart Ensemble

My second card was equally easy!  I was going to add more sparkle or snow but then thought that perhaps a military wife might want to purchase it to send to her hubby who is overseas as a Christmas card and I know they have to be cautious of sparkly cards.  (keeping the 2 craft shows I have coming up in mind when creating these days).

Doesn't she look festive in her Christmas colors!!  

For my 'snowy' fence, I actually die cut two fences (one white/one brown) with my Cheery Lynn Designs B123 Victorian Picket Fence and cut the top row (pickets) off.  Then by 'offsetting' them it gives the illusion of snow.  

(Figured this out accidentally ... don't you love when that happens, LOL.)

My background paper on this one is as OLD AS THE HILLS!  It is from the DCWV Winter Mat Stack.  Again my coloring was done with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cutting with my trusty Fiskars Swivel Craft Knife.    The sentiment is a Verses Rubber Stamp.

Let's see if I can find a few other challenges to share these creations with:
