~ handmade birthday card #2 {for me}

 ok so here is the second {and I think} hilarious card 
my little brother made for me for my birthday

he has been making a habit for the past few years of locking himself away 
in my craft room and making people handmade cards

and last year he started a blog called cardsbycherylsbrother
but has yet to post anything on it

I think he secretly likes to quill because that is what he always goes for first
if you can't tell....the quilling on the top says HAPPY but he got tired after the second P

and he didn't want to use anything that he thought I would need 
so somewhere he found broken buttons and glued them on
{I could not believe he found broken buttons in my craft room but he did}


 and the inside of the card is just as interesting as the outside
he is getting very creative making us guess what the gifts are

 

and my guess was I am fallen down drunk under a tree
he said you got it....and whipped out a liquor store gift card
{I am thinking he has missed his calling with drawing}
 

I made him his own watermark too so I hope to see it on his blog someday
and of course he has his tag line on the back of the card
don't you just love this card from my little brother??

and did I mention he was 35...the cards just keep getting better
maybe he will make a post on his blog now

so this is just a lesson for everyone who thinks that they 
can't make a card for someone who is a cardie
because both of the handmade cards were the best gifts of all

thanks Cathy and Rich

  3. This is fantastic! How hilarious that the quilling kind of peters out, and the broken buttons are too funny. I kept wondering how old is this kid?! Then I saw his terrific handwriting and the gig was up. Yes, yes, he must blog... I would read it!

  9. This just made me laugh. So cute. With creativity like this I think your brother would make a great blogger. I'm picturing a 35 year old guy hiding in a craft room making this card and I now have a case of the giggles
