Top 3 Pick at Animal Friends Challenge
Coffee of the Day - Vanilla Cupcake
Today we have a birthday in the house, so of course I had to make a card to celebrate! :)
My son just loves squirrels, he has ever since he was a very little boy. we used to go to the park to feed them back when it was just the 2 of us, so that tells you just how long his love of them goes back! :)
so it seemed appropriate to make him a squirrel birthday card as he turns 26. gosh, those years have certainly flown by! sigh..... I am so proud of the man he has become! :) pardon my proud momma moment.
I used a Sandra Caldwell image and did my best to take the 'angry' out of him. ;) I just don't have any other little squirrel images in my collection, as hard as that is to believe. papers are from the Basic Grey Vivienne collection. The card base is another of Tammy's adorable card templates from her Shape EZ store on Etsy. trims are from my stash and buttons are vintage. sticks for the acorn top are from my yard! grins! leaf dies are by Tim Holtz.
the inside of the card reads, "We are nuts about you! Happy Birthday!" :) yes, I am goofy that way....
Hope your week is off to a great start! :)
