Have a Truly Amazing Birthday


SOS #167: Don't Crimp My Style

  

It's hubby's birthday this week and he's reached the big 60.  I told him this morning I was making his card today and he sorta hinted it wasn't necessary but...you know me - for a special birthday like this I couldn't let it pass (I know he'll love it, look at it once and it'll go in a box), so I didn't spend a lot of time on it.  I saw at Shopping our Stash SOS#167 they wanted crimped card or corrugated so I tore up one of his beer carton boxes and was surprised to see mini corrugated, I roughly stamped the happy birthday background stamp over it and  stuck a piece of red corrugated behind it and mounted my sentiment across that.  I had bought this huge 60 badge so  decided to use it on the card (hope it comes off so he can wear allllll day).  How easy was that!!! So I'm posting it to Seize the Birthday (it's not black and white but it might inspire someone else to tear up a cardboard box.  Thanks for taking a peek Robyn
