Pull Card Forgetful Elephant - QKR

I'm joining the Die Cuttin Diva's #268 Challenge ( Anything Goes) and it is my 2nd entry to the QKR Challenge #193: birthday theme.  I need to replenish my stack of birthday cards.  This cutie is Forgetful Birthday.  I used PS and copics for coloring, Pull Charm die set by Elizabeth Craft, brad, ribbon, eyelet, made my own balloon string on Cameo and Lil Inker balloon die.

Never Forget Your Birthday

I pretty much cased Connie's card at QKR.  I think I will add a string bow on the tail as well.  This is CAS...as about CAS as you can get, but I think it turned out to be a fun card I would be happy to send to anyone.  I tried to keep it gender neutral. If I send to a girl, I'll paint the toes pink..haha

I'm joining QKR's Challenge #193 with theme being "birthday".  Boy, can never have too many of those cards stock piled. Elephant at QKR.

Mercy mercy me....the older you get the faster each year goes by.  When you were young, you couldn't wait to grow up.  Be careful what you wish for..lol

We are down to the final 2 days of celebrating Bugaboo Stamps 2nd birthday.  It's been fun and I've managed to catch up on making birthday cards I so desperately needed.  I chose Critter Balloons - Elephant and made a die cut out of her/him.  The challenge today: birthday theme and follow the sketch below.

Head over to Catch The Bug and see how others interpreted the sketch.

STOMP OUT Breast Cancer

When I saw this wonderful Bugaboo Stamps image of the Paisley Elephant,  I thought about "squishing grapes" and "stomping mad"!  See how my crazy mind works when I see things?!  I try to make the card "unisex". I sited this past Saturday about men having breast cancer too.  So my card represents "stomping out cancer" and "squish weekly" (self-breast exam) because early detection can really help.

And the quest to post a card every other day with this theme continues through Oct. 14 at LINK UP FOR PINK. Please join me.
