Happy Birthday Ambros

My friend Ann has a boy named Ambros, his birthday is first week of May, but since this card is going all the way to Germany, I guess it is time to post it now. 
(I hope Ann is not reading my blog)



Ambros can slide the button from left to right, I think it is kind of fun, oops, I forgot Ambros is turning 16, he was still a little boy when I last saw him few years ago in Grafing, Germany, LOL! Anyway, boys are boys, he will still have fun with this one (I think....)



I am linking this card to the challenge over at

the theme for this week is "Boys dig it"

I think I spent 3 days on and off on this layout, LOL!
