Cupcake Thank You

Hubby turned 50 (yikes!) yesterday. Since he spent the weekend running a Scout event, we thought it would be nice to surprise him. So last night we sang happy birthday, did old man kind of things, and had cupcakes......all 400 of them.
I made thank you cards for everyone that helped with hubby's cupcakes. Loved that I was able to use stuff I had on hand! I also learned 2 things making this card: 1. use tape across the back so the string doesn't tear through your paper, and 2. a little ribbon glue will secure your knot.
Also....this card was based on 2 cards/sketches found on Nancy Thomas' blog. She does amazing cards!
