Husband Kit Birthday Card

Here is what I would have received from my husband last week for my birthday:
You will notice this year he added a nice new touch to his yearly birthday banner...that lovely purple duct tape.  Really brightens the banner up...don't you think?

Now this is what I received in addition to the beautiful banner thanks to my good friend Joyce Mehrberg of Cards by the Sea who supplied Warren with a "husband" kit full of cards for just about every occasion.  Warren didn't even have to go to the store to buy me a card...he just opened up the big, fat envelope and chose the card...he did write a little funny note inside, but given it was about my age...I think I will leave that to your imagination!

Joyce outdid herself with this one...love the stitched elements and the bright, colorful flowers.  I know that Warren and I are both going to be enjoying this kit for years to come!  Thank you Joyce, this was so much nicer than my paper towel/duct tape banner!

My hubby thinks that the paper towel card is the best Cathy! So glad that Warren was able to give you the pretty card from Joyce! Happy Bday once again! xoxo

I like the banner! It's more than I have ever gotten. So happy that you are enjoying the fruits of your husband kit. I have to say that it is a bit of a thrill to see my cards on your blog--almost like being a little bit famous. And, since I don't remember what I sent you, it is a pleasant surprise as well.

I love the card but think I'm a little glad he didn't stop the tradition!! and purple tape is just what it needed.

Well, let's give him some credit for the fun banner! And he did REMEMBER to get a card out of the envelope - right??!! Happy B'day Cathy!

Too funny...a paper towel banner, how sweet and thoughtful, right? And that card is just perfect!

I love it! I know you HAD to SMILE when you saw that little banner waiting for you. At least he remembered and yes! he is a clever boy too. So smart of him to have his personal card maker Joyce keep him out of hot water! Great post!

Well at least it's purple duct tape and not the usual gray :) I think your friend Joyce is such a sweetie for providing your hubby with some wonderful cards for you! Happy Birthday!

Lol! Well it's more effort than what my husband makes! I even made him buy one of my cards off me once, sign it and give it back! Lucky husband having a heap of cards done by Joyce
