Who's stressed

I made this for my oldest son's birthday, (OMG he'll be 28)  its an inside joke between us and he's going to love it! The sentiment is from Art Impressions but for this card I computer generated it since I needed it to be smaller and more compact. I was a little worried when I used crystal effects on the fish bowl, there was a LOT of liquid but it came out great but more importantly didn't curl!

Smelly Mondays

This giraffe just kills me he looks so ticked, sooo this is the sentiment I came up with to go with him. My son HATES getting up in the morning and Mondays are the worst so I thought this would be the perfect. The inside says "Stinky! Happy Birthday" 

I really like how the ribbon turned out. I originally used twine and decided the ribbon looked better. I've entered this into:
