Yesterday a friend asked me for a humorous 75th birthday card for her brother-in-law. But she threw in a weird twist where she wanted me to somehow incorporate "my other brother Daryl" into it (did you all watch Newhart?). I don't know the story behind this, but what a challenge. I searched my Evernote database for "birthday humor" and found my new records stamps from Avery Elle and the records sentiments from MFT. Haven't been used yet, so perfect for Lisa's (mom's) challenge. I have been doing this challenge myself regularly for about a year and a half now with no end in sight. Anyway, my solution to the Daryl challenge was to make this 45 "Happy Birthday" by Daryl & Daryl. I think I'm so funny. I made a cut file for my ScanNCut to make a record player arm, so I could turn my card into a record player.

What a clever girl you are, Jen, and how satisfying to check off all the boxes when creating a personalized card. That record player arm rocks. Avery Elle should have contacted you first before they manufactured this cool set.

You covered all the bases here, and it sure wasn't easy! Well done!

What a fun card, Jen! Great card. The other day, I found in my studio a 78 rpm that isn’t mine....perhaps my sons. It’s Queen and called A Night at the Opera. Has to be my sons......Never know what might be found here in this room....

WOW what a great set....I love this.. I can so relate to being an oldie but a goodie. And no need to explain the Daryl and Daryl reference...got it. A fantastic card for your friend to give.
