Today we are to be inspired by memories for our cards. Memories reminded me of this funny sentiment. The inside says "Come to think of it, at our age it's good to remember anything at all." I also simply had to recycle one of my aunt's old cards for this. Think about how many memories there are in the forty plus years of cards she gave me. And what all the birthday cards remind me of is birthday parties at my Gram's house. We used to have birthday parties for everyone in the family--usually combined into months like "February birthdays", etc. The only months we didn't have any birthdays to celebrate were May and August. But we'd all get together on a Sunday night and order pizza and then we'd all sit around in the living room and presents/cards would get opened. The funniest cards would get passed around the room for everyone to read. This one probably got passed around...
I thought this was a fun image for my card and it was all orange, so bonus, my favorite color! I used SC137, but everything I used on my card ended up too big. First I die cut the image, then I stamped the first part of the sentiment and mounted it on some of the orange card. Then I took a big blank part of the orange card and embossed it with my music EF. But it's covered up so you can't see it. Anyway, I carried the music theme through with some little music note stamps.

What great family memories and good times having birthday months. And even choosing to celebrate on the two off months. Great card, and will bring lots of laughs.
