"Clean & Simple"
What the what?! Everyone knows that I don't do Clean & Simple. In fact, when I mentioned to my husband that I'd chosen "CAS" for this week's theme, he just rolled his eyes! See? Even he knows!! So . . . after several hours of trial and error, here's what I came up with . . .
What I want to know is this . . . does "Clean & Simple" mean that the card LOOKS "clean & simple"? Or does it mean that it was "simple" to make? "Cuz I think this card looks CAS . . . but it sure wasn't simple to make!! hehe! I've discovered that strategically placed embellies can hide a multitude of "goofs"! LOL! OK . . . enough blethering . . . do you recognize this cutie patootie?
Why, it's Sassy Sally, of course!! And she's pretending she's "The Cat in the Hat"! Maybe that's why Sassy Cheryl named this image "Sassy Sally Plays Dr. Seuss"! You can find her HERE at Sassy Cheryl's Digis. Don'tcha just love that sentiment? That's me for sure . . . in fact, I seem to be "I'm growing older . . . but not up!" Bwahahaha! Here's a side view, sort of . . .
