Survival Tactics and a New Baby

Our theme for the House Mouse & Friends blog challenge was "New." The challenges are new, the blog is new, so our theme was new! I made this card (5 inches square) using a Happy Hopper for my main image. I stamped it in Basic Gray ink, and then watercolored using reinkers and an aqua brush. I outlined the whole image with Copic C-1.

The sentiment is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink. The little brad buttons are a cute addition for a baby card, although I do wish I had spaced them father apart. The large jumbo eyelet says "adore."

I am happy to announce that I survived my first Monday of teaching! You would think I am used to it by now, as this is my 27th year of teaching! I do love summer vacation, though, and it's always hard to go back to paying for everything I bought during the summer!

I am also having trouble getting the Random Number Generator to load properly in my laptop, so check back tomorrow morning for the blog candy winner and also for a fun new card with the SCS Color Challenge!
