We're "All About Hearts" at Sassy Cheryl's!

Hey there, sassy friends!! It's time for another challenge at Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog! From now on . . . Challenges at Sassy Cheryl's will run for 2 weeks! That means more time to get something created and entered!! Wheet whoo!!

So, this week's hostess is my very talented friend and DT sister, Angie, who has chosen the theme . . .

"All about HEARTS"

Perfect . . . especially since Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Here's what I came up with . . .

This is the very, VERY first time I've created a card without a character!! Quite a departure for me . . . but I've had this image for like forever . . . and decided that it would make a lovely Birthday Card!! This image is in the "Backyard Flowers & Birds" digi set  . . . and is available HERE in the "Oldies but Goodies" section at Sassy Cheryl's Digis. Here's a side view . . . 

A peek at the inside . . .
