Today while walking the aisles at Target and browsing the birthday cards I *almost, almost* bought one for a special birthday tomorrow. But, I still can't do it, although I have to admit those talking cards are pretty funny! (but pricey!) Brett picked out a funny card for her, but I came home and put this together quickly before the birthday girl gets home from a tournament.I altered a Unity Stamp Company sentiment and substituted a Cuttlebug Red Tag Alpha "US" where it formally said "them." Bold colors, October Afternoon patterned papers, and a big ole button atop wide ribbon make this a pretty striking card for a 17 year old.
Finished card is 4.5" x 6.25"
Now to clean the evidence left behind!

Stunning colors! Love that you altered the stamp!
Great card, Val - Happy Birthday to Morgan!
This is fantastic! I am so glad that you didn't buy one,either. I almost bought one yesterday, too, but when you are a cardmaker, it just doesn't seem natural. I also thought that the recipient might feel un-loved because I hadn't taken the time to make something special. I am sure that Morgan will know how loved she is because of this! I love the bold design!
What a FUN card!! I Love the graphic stripe of the ribbon with the button.
LOVE this, Val! Clean and fun!
love it Val- great colors and great layout!
