I found out about a new way to make a splash for people celebrating significant birthdays - make them a Candy Bar Card! My friend Angie at Chocolate Candy Mall described how to make these to me awhile ago, and today I made one for a friend who was turning 60. That's a significant birthday! I took this one with me to our dinner out with our friend and people seemed to find it quite amusing :)
If you would like to see how I made this, I have written the instructions out over at PaperCraftCentral. Let me know if you make one of these, OK? I'd love to see how you use your chocolate bars!
And if you cannot read what I have written on the card, here are the words I used:
"Dear Bob
We know you need a BOOST now the CRUNCH(ie) has come and you have reached that (cherry)RIPE old age of 60, so here’s some advice. Take some TIME OUT to DREAM. Go on PICNICS with the (Turkish)DELIGHTful love of your life. Be (cara)MELLOW and try not to FLAKE when out with friends.
Happy Birthday to our OLD FAVOURITE friend. Have a CADBURY DAIRY MILK CHOCOLATE day!
Love from your pseudo sibling and his wife, Colin & Susan XXX"
See, DH and Bob look so much alike people mistake them for brothers. That's why I call them the Pseudo Siblings! LoL!

What a marvelous idea. I may just have to go sort through some of our leftover Halloween candy to see if any is appropriately named to be used in a card like this.
Thanks for sharing!
