Mother's Day Part 3

I hope that you all got to enjoy some time with family and loved ones.  I got to spend the day surrounded by fam, first half of the day was with all the Hubster's fam with some super delicious food.  Came home and got to spend some QT with the Hubster and take a much needed nap.  Then my sisters and parents came over for dinner at my house for Mother's day (that way Mom didn't have to worry about cooking OR cleaning!!).  It was so fun to be in the kitchen with my sisters.  Steaks, corn, mashed taters, and sweet potato casserole were all delish! 

It was so good to spend so much time with both sides of the families.  It was definitely refreshing to be surrounded by so much love.

So finally I bring you part three of the Mother's Day cards.  I really enjoyed this card.  I hope you like it too.

Now that Mother's Day has come and gone, it's on to Dad's and Grads!!  Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!!

Mother's Day Part 2

Hello Crafters!!

Just got done browsing some of the National Scrapbook Day posts, and it definitely looks like a blast!  I unfortunately have too many errands to run today, otherwise I would have definitely jumped right in.  But even though I've been running around like a mad man, I still wanted to bring you part 2 of my Mother's Day cards. 

I love the background pattern on this paper, with the pink and green flowers, but it's hard to incorporate into cards because the pattern is so spread out.  I remembered I had the green background and mini pink flower paper from those spring inspired cards and I knew it would go well with this pattern.



I didn't want the inside to be too busy, so I kept it simple with some gems in the upper left corner.  Since I did a bunch of these cards, the gem colors vary between green, pink, and red. 

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend, and have a fabulous Mother's Day tomorrow!!

Keep on craftin :]

Mother's Day Part 1

So, as I'm sure you could imagine with all the recent baby talk...  I had A LOT of mommas to make cards for this year.  I was super excited to use this rose paper, because it's pink, and sparkly, and very pretty. 

I really really love the way this card turned out.  It's elegant and pretty.  You can't really tell in the pictures, but the "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment is rasied with pop dots to give it some dimension.

I definitely want to post some of the other cards I did, but I'm going to see little Amelia and her mommy tomorrow, so my next post might have to be postponed a bit.

Happy crafting!
