Hey Sassy Pants, Happy Birthday! (STB 1)

Hello Delightful friends and family from a very wet and cold northern California!  Brrr, the wind off the ocean and the snow in the mountains makes for a very damp and cold afternoon!  Wish I could just stay in all day but duty calls!  Had to go pick up my grandson Jakob from school, then to the post office, later on it will be a trip to Costco!  Not looking forward to that at all.  In the meantime, I was able to play along with a new challenge site and get a birthday card finished up that I started last night.  Yeah!!
Here is the link to the new challenge blog (well, new to me) called Seize the Birthday.  And a fun sketch for this weeks challenge. In a nutshell, there are two sketches per month and the first week you make a feminine card, the second week a masculine card but they have to be birthday cards.  Be sure and head over there to get all the details!  I need to "beef" up my masculine card collection so this challenge sounds ideal for me!

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.  Galatians 2:20
