"Missed your birthday, and that's no bull!"
"I'm one mad cow that I missed your birthday!"
"Forgot your birthday, but I have an excuse... I have mad cow!" (ref to Boston Legal TV series...)
...what would YOU have this card say?...
All stamps from the recent High Hopes release. LOVE them!! Stamped in Pitch Blank ink, by Ranger; colored with Copic markers.
Hi Anna, I didn't get to read them all so don't know if anyone suggested this: HAY!! No Bull, Missing your Birthday has made me Udderly MOO-dy.

How about "Oh Cow Patties! I missed the party!"
Very cute card!

I wish I had a cow friend with a past birthday to make a card for.

Here is the IMMEDIATE thing I thought of ~ good or back .......
"Birthday's Suck!"
Hehehehehe I adore this grumpy-looking cow :)
Posted by: Robb_eeie | February 19, 2009 at 01:49 PM
Cute card - I like all the ideas above me!
Posted by: Erika M | February 19, 2009 at 01:47 PM
Okay so for whatever reason, I didn't think of missing a birthday at all. I think it looks perfect for another person you may share a birthday with. Okay so there may not be a lot of need for that, but that's what I was thinking.
So I thought it would be cute to say something like, Don't feel like celebrating...without you. Hope your birthday is happy.
I don't know, maybe that's far too corny.
Sweet card though.

Anna! What a cute card!!
How about, "oh man, I missed the bus to your Birthday Party. I'm soooooo disappointed. Hope it was fun."
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
Posted by: Trena in Naperville | February 19, 2009 at 08:26 AM
All dressed up and nowhere to moo.
Posted by: Candy | February 19, 2009 at 08:24 AM
I love your sentiments and this grumpy cow! Fab coloring! Here are two corny messages:
'In such a stew,
I can't even moo.
Are you feeling blue,
Since I missed your do?
Inside: Happy Belated Birthday!'
'So sorry about moo-sing your birthday!'
Posted by: Shellie Daniel | February 19, 2009 at 08:09 AM
I'm a product of the 60s. I remember when everyone used the term, "Don't have a cow!" How about, "Don't have a cow! I'm ALWAYS late!" LOL! That's what everyone would expect from me. :)
Posted by: Karen L. | February 19, 2009 at 08:05 AM
How about, "I'm in UDDER shock that I missed the party"
Posted by: terriavidreader | February 19, 2009 at 07:53 AM
That is just the cutest card. This old farm girl isn't very good with puns but here goes:
Happy MooDay to you
Happy MooDay to you
Happy MooDay Dear Friend
Happy MooDay to you.
I'm having a cow because I forgot your birthday.
Hey big fella--what's in the box?
Posted by: Darlene L | February 19, 2009 at 07:31 AM
LOL My sentiments are not so "nice"...I think I'd be tempted to say
"Aw, Crap! I missed your birthday!"
Posted by: Shannan Teubner | February 19, 2009 at 07:22 AM
Sorry, just saw Jacque's after I posted.
Posted by: Kim Howard | February 19, 2009 at 06:56 AM
Beautiful card! How about: Sorry to be a party pooper, I missed your birthday!
Posted by: Kim Howard | February 19, 2009 at 06:55 AM
"oh Cud! I missed all the cake, didn't I?" :)
You have ALOT of great suggestions Anna!! Love this cute card, hope you find that just right saying. :)-Michelle W.

:D Love the card Anna!
Posted by: Sandra MacLean | February 19, 2009 at 06:26 AM
I'm not very good at funny sayings but here's my go at it -
*I'm at an udder loss as to how I missed your birthday. Hope it was a fun and mooo-ving celebration!*
Posted by: Cindy H. | February 19, 2009 at 06:05 AM
Oh too cute! How about "Oh Moo I missed your Birthday!"... oh I'm so bad at this :)
Posted by: pegg | February 19, 2009 at 06:02 AM
mooove that mouse out of the barn or the gift stays with me!!!!!!
Posted by: MaryAnn Grove | February 19, 2009 at 05:57 AM
My first thought was, "It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to", but that sweet creature isn't really crying, so how about "Herd it was your birthday, sorry I missed the party, either way, I have that song stuck in my head for the day now...lol!!! Fantastic coloring Anna! It's a sensational card! Thanks for sharing with us! :D
Posted by: Kimberly Gajewski | February 19, 2009 at 05:50 AM
I like the first sentiment :)
But I think this card is so wonderful, it fits without a sentiment.
Greetings, DANA

Posted by: Linda | February 19, 2009 at 05:36 AM
I just love puns, so I have three suggestions:
1. I'm udderly disappointed that I missed your Birthday.
2. I had a cow when I realized I missed your Birthday.
3. It's downright Bull that I missed your Birthday.
This was fun. =)

Posted by: Jean C. (naturecoastcrafter) | February 19, 2009 at 05:10 AM
you have some funny followers! LOL! Great card. The first thought since it's sitting was "I'm bummed I missed your bd", then I thought "I'm 'moo'd' (mad) I missed your bd"
Posted by: Debbie Fisher | February 19, 2009 at 04:52 AM
Oh Cowpatty, I missed your birthday!!!
Very cute card.

Posted by: Kandi Kwirant | February 19, 2009 at 04:47 AM
I LOVE any cow stamps! Thanks for *enabling* me. LOL I think another possible saying could be something like "I'm udderly sorry I missed your birthday."
Posted by: Janet S | February 19, 2009 at 04:24 AM
I like your first saying, and the saying on the first post best.
I like your Copic coloring more than most. I see you have shading. There are only a few out there who are still doing watercolor, I hope you don't fall too in love with your Copics, I still like WC better! I would be sad if I couldn't see your brilliant wc art anymore!!
Posted by: Carla Mayfield | February 19, 2009 at 04:23 AM
No Pouttin" about it!! I Missed your Day! Sorry...

Posted by: Cris Z | February 19, 2009 at 04:00 AM
Holy Cow I missed your birthday!
I don't know but I use Holy Cow quite often with my kids so it seemed like the perfect sentiment ;)

"Cow can I have missed your birthday?"
Personally I prefer your reference to mad cow. "Brilliant" (I loved BL).
Posted by: Gabriela | February 19, 2009 at 02:21 AM
"It's your birthday? Bullcrap!! You look moooo-valous!"
(Can I say that?)
"You look great, I look like a heifer - Happy Birthday!"
"From one heifer to another - Happy Birthday!"
"HEY you!!!!" (Get it? Hey=Hay!) "Happy Birthday"
It's late, I get goofy when I'm sleepy.

"Party Pooper" I don't know why...but he sure does look like one! lol
Love you card as always and your colouring is exquisite! I especially love the bright red DP.
Hugs,

Posted by: Kim Teasdale | February 18, 2009 at 10:54 PM
I feel like an udder moo-ron to forget your birthday. Like a nincowpoop. But there's too much at steak for you to not forgive me. So, I'm sending you this card, hoping you won't roast me for missing it. I'll let you tease me though, I can take the ribbing. I wouldn't be calf the person I say I am if I didn't. Sigh... I know you've herd me say this before, but I'll say it again; I n-heifer want to live without moo.
Posted by: Crissy | February 18, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Hello Anna, I love the cow he looks like she is grumpy and I love the present next to her.

"It's my party and I'll pout if I want to."
Posted by: Jeanne S | February 18, 2009 at 09:07 PM
What a creative way to use this stamp (love it, BTW)!
I have a goofy sense of humor sometimes:
"I must have cow-nted the days wrong - I missed your birthday by a hoof! Hope your day was mooving!"
Posted by: Cheri Howard | February 18, 2009 at 09:04 PM
This is so me and I'm always told something to the effective of..."It's not a party without the party pooper!" Parties are so not my thing, but I love this card! TFS!
