Happy Birthday Card - I CASED MYSELF!!!

My brother's birthday is coming up SOON and I actually have to get this in the mail TODAY!  So I decided to cut a few corners and CASE myself.  In Arkansas where I am from and where most my family still lives there hasn't hardly been any rain lately and deer season is rumored to possibly be canceled due to the dryness.  The HORROR!!  I think my dad and brother will need therapy if that happens!  Anyway, I figured for his birthday I would give him a big buck just in case he doesn't get to hunt for one.  I really doubt they will cancel it but still it is something I can rib him about. 

I have been asked what I put inside my cards.  I usually (almost always) leave them blank as far as sentiments or stamping.  I use that space to write a letter!  A lost art! 

Here is a link to my original card and a video tutorial I did with it:  Thank You Card - Animal Kingdom Cartridge - Video #9
