Yes, it's already time again for my annual Kenny birthday card for Laura- whose cubical at work is a shrine to Kenny, and she goes to every Kenny concert in the state! Really.
The inspiration is from this:
The bg sky was made by sponging over a torn paper towel in Barely Blue. The waves were cuttlebugged and torn, and the sand is, well- sandpaper. The adorable boot charm is from my sweet friend Pat (Kokirose) Thanks Pat, this is just what Kenny needed. The inside simply reads 'Happy Birthday' and the personal note reads- PAUL? Paul who? I don't know any PAUL! Lol, poor Paul, 2nd fiddle to Kenny!
Thanks for looking. Happy Birthday Laura! XXXOOO
Note to Perk:
Sue, no droolin'. Remember Mr. Coffee!!!!

Wow - I love this card and that boot is really something. I would never have thought of using sandpaper - that is a great idea!
I think the inside is a riot - I am sure she will cherish this card forever!

Kenny who? Ha, you know I don't do C&W, it make me sad. This card however is the bomb! I totally love all the cool things you did like the waves, who'da thought! And that 'sand' paper is such a good idea. Where do you get these ideas? No don't tell me, I want to believe you are just the creative genius I think you are. This is a totaly cool card.
I might have to click that link an see what all the fuss is about with 'Kenny". TFS LYMI IRL

Although Kenney is my least favorite CW singer, you have certainly done a beautiful job on this one. Your creativity is amazing! Laura sounds like a fun person and will be thrilled with this card! happy birthday Laura!
