Birthday Boys

Happy Saturday Everyone,

I have been up to my ears in Christmas cards lately so this mornings craft session was a much needed break. This morning I have 2 cards to show you. My mom asked me if I could make her a few cards to give to my brothers for their birthdays.
(I know  - December birthdays - uggg)

So here is what I came up with :

This first one is for my brother, Eli.

I used the challenge from A Sketch For You To Try

This week they wanted for us to pick a fave sketch from the past and run with it. I chose this sketch  :



And my favorite detail on the card :

I love these large grommets but I don't use them very often because I have to pull out a few tools and take the card outside to wack it on the hard concrete...

they are just kind of fussy. But I do love them!!

And for my other brother, I used the sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges

(a bit tweeked)

My brother is quite the handy man and just helped my parents reno their kitchen so I know this card will be a hit.

Here's a close-up of the Copic coloring

Okay well, we are off to the Disney On Ice and then on to my husband's mom's house to visit a new edition to our family.

(My husband's cousin just had their first baby, and we haven't met her yet, so I'm so excited - love babies) Gotta run,

Have a great weekend.
