Just part of a Triathalon

My youngest son loves to compete in triathlons even though he does not have time to get much practice in these days.  They start with a swim - then a bike ride -  and finally a run to the finish line.  I was amazed the first time I saw everyone start out in the water - and then to see most of them cross the finish line - it was awesome!

So I thought I would use this great digital image from Just Inklined for his birthday card.  I have colored the image with copics.  The background is a picture that I took of the sky from our backyard, catching only the tops of the trees,  I added a strip of black cardstock at the bottom of the card for the road. Put some Rangers Glossy Accents on the water bottles, added a sentiment and it was done!

Had a few computer problems so first post in a long time.  I had someone lined up to fix the problem and then after about five days, he told me he was too busy to do it - I won't be calling on that business again!

A Wild Skateboarder

I love Kenny K's images they always have that wide eyed full of life look.  I have colored the image with copics, using glossy accents on the helmet and the skateboard wheels.  The white board DP is from My Mind's Eye and the red is from Colorbok.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva.

I thought I would add a close up of his face:

Had a wonderful visit for the last 3 days with my brother from Halifax, joined by my brother from Barrie and his wife on Monday and my sister from Omeemee and my daughter and four of my grandchildren on Tuesday.  Just like a mini family reunion - lots of fun.

Back to School Science

Another grandson having a birthday and going to a new school.  He loves science, so I though this card would be perfect for him.  He has always entered something in the science fairs at school through the years and has done very well.  He would like to be a surgeon.

This digital image and the top sentiment are both from Simply Betty.  I printed the bottom sentiment from my computer.  I used copics to color the image and added some Rangers glossy accents to the beaker he is holding in his hand.  The DP is from K and Company.
