Throwback Thursday Challenge! - Episode 60

I think Emma's Challenges at My Creative Time are my one of favorites out there. One of the reasons is that I know that for a fact there is always a new one on Thursday (which is Great!) and its not limited to the cartridge she picks for that week she does allow for you to use another cartridge as long as it isnt a New Release and you stick with the theme. Well this week the theme was Animal... Well I decided to a Birthday Card for a friend of mine. For the past year he has really dedicated himself to working out and he is looking great. Well we alway kid around and tell him that he is a GYM BUNNY... That is all he does Eat, Sleep & Workout. I did use a different card technique this time and i made an easel card... I love it. Here it is:
