"In this clip we are going to talk about making a birthday card. Now when you have a birthday card to make you can go buy one at the store or you can make your own and I think that part of making your own is to make it personal. One way to make it it personal is to use your photo. You can use a photo of the person of you and the person that is having the birthday, maybe a photo from travels that you have had with the person or if you want to be funny you can use a funny photo of the person and add your own caption. You also want to include a special message. You can write your own message or you can find a passage that is meaningful maybe something that you know the person would appreciate, something from an author or poet or maybe it is just something that you know a quote that you have heard but something that has some personal connection between the two of you. I would stay away from clip art and stay away from trying to do too much. You don't want it to be overly chachi and have too much stuff on it. The important part is that you are going to make your own birthday card and it is to make it personal. That's the point. Even if it is funny it doesn't have to be sappy because you should make it personal. That's the point of making your own instead of buying one so have fun making a birthday card."
