Another one of those "special" birthdays...

I know, every birthday is special as long as we're around to celebrate it.  But some birthdays are just more special than others.  You know, those milestone birthdays...
We recently celebrated my Dad's 65th birthday in style...the entire family spent it together on a Vacation Houseboat on Shuswap Lake in BC.

Since 65 is one of those "special" birthdays, I really wanted to make my Dad a great cake, but it would have been too hard to take it on the 3 day road trip we took just getting to the lake.  So I made him this special card instead:


Some of you may recall seeing others like this that I've made. 
I have made several of these Birthday Year cards books for family members. 
I have a full tutorial with pics for you on THIS POST.

Here are the inside pages,
click the pics to enlarge them if you're interested in reading the text.  Some of these trivia tidbits were really interesting to research:)





Thanks for not un-following me as I have been a very lazy blogger this summer!
