You are my Sunshine

Happy Monday everyone!  So the challenge this week at Squigglefly is to create a song theme card.  This cute song below popped right into my head.  I am sure many of you know the chorus.  "You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me Happy, when skies are grey.  You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away." 
But, do you know how many artists have recorded this song?  I must confess, I just think of this song as some children's song, esp recalling it from a TV commercial.  But this song has been recorded by a number of famous muscians including--Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Rickie Nelson, Ray Charles, Gene Autry, Copeland, Bob Dylan, Donnie Osmond, Ann Murray, Doris Day, Carlie Simon, Elisabeth Mitchell and SO many more!! It is the State Song of Louisiana!  I am using a beautiful stamp from artist Cheryl Alger called You are my Sunshine.
Be sure and drop by the Squigglefly Challenge blog this week and create a card to play along.  Just come up with a fun song and make a cute card to go with it.  If you use any Squigglefly stamp, you are eligible to win a prize!

Project Materials:  Cardstock (Bazzill Bling, Neenah);  DigiStamps (Squigglefly); Die Cuts (Spellbinders Nestabilities; Sizzix); Flowers (Prima, Hobby Lobby);  Suns (Jesse James); Ink (Colorbox Chalk);  Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue Dots, Glue All, Ribbon Glue); Color (Copic Markers);
