Boys, Boys, & More Boys at Sassy Cheryl's!

Happy Tuesday, my sweet (er, or should I say "Sassy") friends! Are you having the most fabulous June so far? We've had a bit of rain here in Richmond, Virginia . . . and now everything is so, so green!! Although not officially quite yet, I do believe Summer has arrived! OK . . . enough on the weather . . . it's time for another fun challenge at Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog?!!  But first a little reminder . . .

Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog is having a Design Team Call!!
Find complete details HERE!

Now . . . onto this week's challenge!! Our very own talented and "sassilicious" Miz Judy is hostess this week . . . and she'd like to see cards and projects that are . . .

For the Guys/Boys!

Well, well, well . . . I am probably the worst when it comes to making "boy" cards! I am really all about girly and embellished with flowers and jewels! But, what the heck . . . boys need a chance to be showcased too, I guess! hehe! So, here ya go . . . 
It's Max!! I just love him (even though he is kind of a boy! hehe!) This handsome little skateboarder is called "Grip it & Rip it Max." He's available in Sassy Cheryl's online store HERE. And, if you prefer "girls," this image is also available in a "Maddie" version HERE. Although Maddie is certainly more of a "tomboy" in this image, she's awfully cute too!! Here's a close-up of little Max . . .
I made this card for our only grandson, Brody, who will be 9 years old in August. He lives in Arizona (far too many miles away from Virginia . . . and I miss my little buddy bunches and bunches!! So I decided to make this card for him . . . undoubtedly a gift card will find it's way inside the envelope! hehe! Here's a pic of our handsome little Brody (he is definitely my son's "mini me"!) . . .
Now I know I'm biased, but I sure do think he's a handsome little guy!! Gotta love those sunglasses!! OK . . . back to my card . . . here's a bit of a side view . . .
