This is my bazillionth try at making a card today. I wanted to use "You are my sunshine," because that phrase (song) has been stuck in my mind since the day my daughter was born. I sing it to her and she cringes! And it's very sunny but cold here.
I tried different colors, different sizes of writing, printing, stamped images, etc. but nothing looked right. Finally decided to make it CAS and give to my daughter when she gets home this afternoon. She'll roll her eyes, maybe hug me, and put the card somewhere she can see it every day.
At least my handwriting looks pretty decent!

Your write-up made me smile, I have a friend who had a much-wanted child after several miscarriages and a long gap between the next one - who used to sing "You are my sunshine" to the bump all through her pregnancy. I too hope your daughter treasures this as a card from the heart - and yes, your writing does look great.
I'm on my 5th attempt at cutting a screen divider card; I've made them loads of times before with no trouble, so I feel for your bazillion attempts.

That's such a great song and you translated it into an adorable card, love the layout and "scribbled" sun. I sang You are My Sunshine to my kids and now I'm singing it to my grandsons. Your daughter will treasure this, eye rolling or not ;)

Wonderful super sunny card. Great sentiment you added. I sure wish I could write this nicely. I tend to think my handwriting is more chicken scratch and so I try to not write often and especially if it is something that someone else has to read. Your handwriting is wonderful.
