Another Birthday?

Hey there. Me again with my second post today.
I'm sharing a birthday card for a family friend who is addicted to punny/funny stuff. I used a Scribbles frog digi called Carl Fretted and colored him with Promarkers. Before printing him out, I framed him and added the sentiments in PSE. The patterned papers are Basic Grey Color Me Silly. I've ink-distressed the edges with some black Vera Magic Chalk ink.
 
I used this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my A2 layout design.
For the inside I composed and framed the sentiment in PSE before printing out.
A piece of the BG sheet of frogs on the back (which is why I used this Basic Grey collection).
A final look at this humorous card.

And here's a slice of the grapefruit pie that Honey made me because I'd never heard of it before and wanted to try it. It's a refreshing experience. The filling is a combination of whipped cream, marshmallows and toasted shredded coconut. He used THIS recipe. 

That's all for me this time. Take care and thanks for visiting!

This is hilarious. I laughed when I read the sentiment. I have a very old version of PS, but have heard PSE is easier, but limited. I like how you created the sentiment and the card.

What a toadily fun card - did you get my pun? Sorry lol! Your colouring is great and I love that addition on the back too. Thanks for playing along with us at The Male Room challenge

Aimeslee, what a fun birthday card... your family must be a lively group! I like how you chose your frog background to be the same theme as your main panel, but a contrasting color. Even the back of your card is a happy place!! Thank you for sharing your card and sense of humor with us at The Male Room for our "animal" themed challenge!!! -Donna

Oh I just love this frog. He makes a great centerpiece of your card. And I think you need to pat yourself on the back for having such a talented hubby. That pie looks amazing. Hope it was a good Wednesday. hugs-Erika

What a great fun card and a recipe bonus. I have printed out the recipe. I am wondering what other fruit can be substituted. I am a big fan of rhubarb.
