Birthday Buttons

Time for Tammy's Scrapin' Corner Challenge #47, Buttons.  I chose this really cute Bugaboo image, Theodore's Birthday Sign, available here.  This was such a simple, fun card to do.  It's good to get back to basics once in a while. The papers and buttons are from my stash.  I colored the image with Copics.

Copics:  B12, B13, C0, C7, E30, E31, E33, G05, R11, R20, R24, R27, Y15, Y17, YR68

Birthday Dragon

Exciting news!  I'm a guest designer this month for Eureka Stamps.  I was recently introduced to their stamps and I can honestly say I love what they have available.  This cute image is a digi called "Birthday Dragon,"  and it's available here  The papers are from my stash.  I colored the image with Copics.  I have not been very good about saving the color numbers lately.  It needed some embellishment so I freehand cut some balloons from the papers and outlined them with black marker and connected them together with wire.

Going Fishing

This weekend has been quite a challenge for me.  I injured my knee two weeks ago and it's been gradually healing, that is until Friday.  Somehow I injured it again and I'm in serious pain.  I think I tore a muscle or tendon below the kneecap.  This time I'm going to go to a specialist.  Hopefully, I can get this thing healed, finally.  Walking is extremely difficult and I have to go back to work tomorrow.  That should be interesting.  I just plan on locking myself up in my office for the day.  I'll have to lug along the cane, knee brace, Advil and ice pad.  Should make for a nice day.

It's time for challenge #45 at Tammy's Scrapin' Corner.  This week's challenge is to make a Manly Card.  Our sponsor this week is QKR Stampede.  I used this great digi called "Going Fishing," available here  I've had these metal tags for a while and never knew what to use them for.  This one "capture life's moments"  seemed ideal for this card.  The papers are from my stash and I colored the image with Copics.  ..
