Welcome back after our little time off, hope you had a great Christmas and hoping for a happy, healthy 2012 for you!
Sassy Ann kicks off the new year with our Sassy Challenge, New Beginnings.
You might be wondering what Fireman John has to do with this theme…..well, my career college student son who changed his major 3 times, FINALLY graduated with his degree… Bachelor of Fine Arts! Woohooo, whistles, fireworks…… he is an awesome artist… BUT, he decided he wants to be a fireman!
He’s made it through the civil service test, physical test (placing in the top level), polygraph test, and interview…..now he’s just waiting to hear from the department some time this month!
Fireman John is one Cheryl drew at my request a while ago, little did I know I’d be using it for someone so special! *Edited* Cheryl now has this image up in the store here!!
He’s colored with Copics, edges sponged with Distress inks.
The base is stamped with a Winston Churchill quote from Never Give Up, Our Daily Bread designs.
For more fun,
see what the other gals did.

Dawn- I had to LOL at this one! My son-in-law did almost the same thing (law-enforcemet)! Great coloring-and I can't wait for the image to be available, as I have a good friend who is a fire fighter.
Awesome! Great to know what he really wants to do, congratulations to him!! Firemen/women are wonderful, courageous people. I am sure he will love this card Dawn, what a cutie patootie!! Great sentiment stamp for your background. Happy New Year Sassy friend! ~jeni :)
Perfect card, Dawn! I wish your DS much success...hope that he hears back soon about his new chosen career path.
