Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You!

Happy 4th of July! It is really hot here today and they are saying that it is going to stay in the 90's (feel like it's over 100) most of the week. I spent a lot of the morning working in the garden to try to help the plants hold up under such sun and heat. I hate when everything looks droopy.

I decided I needed a break inside in the AC so I finished up this card that a friend asked me to make for her grandson's birthday. She asked that it be bright and glittery, everything else was up to me. I had these ducks from Sassy Cheryl's digis that I love and thought they looked like they were celebrating so I put the words to Happy Birthday on the card like they are singing it. I used glitter DP and I also the green stripes on the second DP is also glittered. You can't see in the pic but the buttons on the bottom are also glitter buttons. I think I took care of bright and glittery, I wish it showed up more in my photo. I think he will laugh when he sees it!
