HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BONI!!!!

Hello and welcome to a SURPRISE BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP for our fearless leader, BONI!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BONI!!!!

For my project today, I used the Technique Junkie Newsletter and the technique called Camoflauge from the October/ November 2008 newsletter.


My card today uses Harold Hammock. Harold is taking it easy in his hammock resting and relaxing for Boni's birthday!


I used Baja Breeze, White and Not Quite Navy card stock.  I also used Copic Markers to color this image in! The accessories were Dew Drops, Velvety ribbon is retired from SU.
