Happy Birthday, Brad

My son will be 34 on the 3rd of July.  He was born at 11:45pm and the dr asked me if i wanted to wait (after spending the day laboring) 15 minutes to have a baby born on the 4th...i said "NO"...of course i said that emotionally, i was laboring (no shots). :)  He was born 10lbs 3oz...so that was why i labored a bit longer...I lost 27lbs right after...:) 

Oh so why did i say all of that?  i made this gift bag for his birthday gift card:
 I did use a card sketch for this bag from Skipping Stones Design (i rotated it vertically and left the banner horizontal):

Copics used:
skin- YR000, 00, R20, 24
hair- E41, 31, 34
shirt- R24, 39
shorts- C3, CB
shoes- C1, 5, 7





Challenges:
Magnolia Down Under- Decorate a Paper Bag
Skipping Stones Design- Sketch
Tilda's Town- Time to Celebrate!

  2. I'm not sure why anyone tries to joke with women in labour - I mean, really? It could be completely hilarious & we'd still try to hurt them. Do you still get the feeling every birthday of "omygosh, how did you get so big??" My mom still says she blinked.
    I love the banner, and the soccer ball! Too cool.

  6. Happy Birthday to your Son, I wouldn't have waited either - 15 minutes of extra labor would seem like forever. Well done card - colored sooooo well.
