S'mores Birthday

I have a friend who loves s'mores.  We were on vacation when her birthday rolled around, and I was not prepared by having a card already made!  I had seen a really cute card made with the s'mores image from SU's Under The Stars, but once I got home, I couldn't find the sample.  (I need to thank my stampin' buddy Shawn for stamping the images for me, as I don't have this stamp set either!!)  SO of course, Last-Minute LeAnne that I am, I rushed to make this one the morning that we were to get together for the day:

It is not nearly as cute as the one I saw; when I have more "leisure" time (LOL) I will search again in my favs file to see if I can find it.  Anyway, this was quite simple using a retired birthday sentiment and some computer-generated words for the inside:

When I asked my husband if he knew what the picture was on the front, he said, "An ice cream sandwich?"  Men.

I love this card. Now I am curious to see if you can find your original inspiration and what you can work from there!

This is really fun, LeAnne! I think you did a great job, even if it wasn't what you first had in mind... (sometimes the best card happen that way!) It reminds me that birthday cards that aren't literally a cupcake, cake, etc. are REALLY GREAT! Thanks for MORE wonderful inspiration!
