Ok, so I'm going to tell you about this card in what I'll call *mothermark* fashion. For those of you who aren't familiar with *mothermark* here on SCS, you gotta look her up...she shares one hilarious account of her stamping adventures after another...guaranteed to make you fall off your chair (or in my case, one of those exercise balls!) laughing.
Ok, here goes:
1. This card is for my MIL's birthday this week, and guess how old she is going to be...you guessed it--65 years young.
2. That brings me to my next point: my MIL is an *original*, thus the rounded tab stating such. She's also a kid at heart, something my DH either inherited or learned from her...he makes me laugh every day! (Oh gosh, now I'm tearing up thinking about it..on to the next point!).
3. My MIL, I'll call her *Carol*, {hearts} Tab, you know, the soda in the pink passion can that was all the rage in the 70's?!
4. For her 65th birthday, we're doing gifts in quantities of, you guessed it, 65 things....so, our gift will consist of *65* cans of Tab (which I have yet to purchase)!
5. I thought, well why not google Tab and see what images I can come up with...someone had created this perfect collage, and whala...instant designer papah!
6. I wanted to keep with the *black* theme with touches of *Tab pink*, or as we'd call it, Pink Passion, and this is the end result!
Thanks for putting up with my story and Happy Birthday *Carol*!

This is great, i was like that looks just like the original tab carton, so had to look at the detail.. I remember it well. I use to like it. was the first diet pop i ever drank and had to learn to drink it with ice to get past the taste, now only diet. LOL!! Thanks so much for sharing.. what a hoot, let us know if you find some.. may want some too. She will love this!
