Birthday Bus

It is time for another The Three Musketeers post. We are ready to showcase the card we all created with the image that I sent for February--for Card #66!  That means we nearing the end of year #5--can you believe that?  All three of us sure have enjoyed the challenges every month and we hope that it continues for a long time!  Jeanette is up next for the March challenge.  Be sure to come back to see what we create!  

For our card this month, I sent out images from an Avery Elle called Birthday Bus!  It includes the great bus, the cake and presents on the top along with some fun sentiments. There are also dies to cut out all of the images--how great is that!  I cut out a couple of buses and left some whole, so Kelly and Jeanette could have some choices.

I loved coloring up this image with my Copic Markers. I layered it over some fun patterned paper from a Creative Memories package called Vacation.  I think it is perfect for this card with the bright, primary colors!  The birthday cake and presents are riding on top of the bus as it is full of some fun animals!  I hope you enjoy my card!

Here is the inside of my card with one of the sentiments:

Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards!  They may post today or tomorrow, so be sure to check out their blogs for their card!   As I mentioned, Jeanette is up for our March challenge, so please come back!

When Life Gives You Lemons

This is my card for the monthly themed swap that Terry is hosting on SCS.  Each month she will post a theme and we make cards using any stamp set we believe follows that thought. This is our ninth month and the theme for August is "Fruit Stand".  I inked up one of my favorite Penny Black stamps and colored it with my Copic Markers!

I hope Terry and the others swappers like my card this month too!  I cannot wait to see what our theme is for September and that will post on the 10th.
