Sassy Salutations #1

Sassy Salutations has 6 different greetings in a really zany font, I used it on a card I shared a few weeks ago.  This stamp set has been available for a few years and although it was on my wish list it never made it into my shopping basket!  Once it did end up in my shopping basket I played around with it and made a card for each of the greetings. This week I am going to share them with you.

I had an honorary aunt, she was my Mum’s best friend, who had known me since I was about 6 years old, I always called  her Aunt as a sign of love and respect and continued to do so even into my mid 50’s when we lost her.

She used to have an expression she called ‘footeling’ which basically was doing something without a clear direction or purpose….. but simply to do!

So …………………… I was footeling around with some of the new In-colors card, inks and punches the other day and came up with this card………..

Patriotic…… Happy Birthday

This is a card for the fellas in our lives.  I usually struggle to make ‘guy-type’ cards and I don’t think I am alone in that.  But I set myself a challenge a couple of months ago to do a class featuring 4 different designs of cards for our men-folk.  Quite unconsciously this ended up as red, white and blue and since we shall be celebrating July 4th later this week I thought it was a perfect time to share.
