Happy Birthday to My Husband!

In honor of my husband's birthday today, I made him a card using the shirt fold technique. It was really quick and easy, but with a lot of wow factor. My husband is a fan of hawaiian shirts and loves turtles and low and behold I had a piece of scrapbook paper that had turtles all over it. I also incorporated some designer series paper and the tag punches for extra bling. I hope you enjoy it and Happy Birthday Charlie!!
