Anyway, there's a brand new challenge at Saturated Canary and the theme this time is red, white and blue. I have used Krista's cute Basketball Boy to create this birthday card. It's always easier for me, as I think it is for many people, to make stuff for females so I like to challenge myself whenever I get a chance to make something for the guys in my life. My grandson turned 11 in May which was before I made this card but I made him a cute one with a football player on it. Since he plays football it was really more fitting for him anyway, though I just adore this cute little guy!
I {heart} all of the Saturated Canary images but I think this is my favorite boy. I'm not sure I succeeded but I tried to saturate the color on his uniform to make it resemble the shiny satin-like material often used in making such garments. I love the expression of concentration on his face as he shoots the hoop. I just KNOW he makes that basket! LOL
I used white paper and red ribbon to make the stripes on the card. I believe the paper is from DCWV's Summer Dreams stack. All of the lettering was done with stickers, except for the #1 on the inside, which was done with stamps.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Saturated Canary #20 - Red, White & Blue
Card Makin Mamas #48 - Color (Red, White & Blue)
Delicious Doodles #22 - 1,2,3 Recipe - 1 image, 2 kinds of bling (stars & circles), 3 ribbons (the red and white stripes) or 3 colors (red, white & blue)

Well, that's all I have for now. I hope you all enjoy your weekend and that you manage to sneak in some time to be creative. Until next time...
Happy crafting!
