Happy Mother's Day

Everyday is Mother's Day, but on the second Sunday of May, it's the official Mother's Day. So here, here to all the mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, nieces, girlfriends and all women in general. We all play the role!

Here is a quick and easy Mother's Day card. I recently purchased the the large oval Nestabilities. I like those a lot though I think I want the small ones as well because the nesting is tighter/thinner. I hope that makes sense.

I ended up giving this card away to a friend. Love that.

A Mother's Day Card

Papertrey Ink is having a Blog Hop on Friday (4.25); check out their site for the details. So they provided potential participants w/a pdf sample of their new paper Father Knows Best. It's a nice set of patterned papers.

So although I was not selected for the Blog Hop, I am still posting my card. Funny how I used the Father Knows Best line to produce a Mother's Day card, huh? I printed the paper on creme colored cardstock. Oh, and I guess this is a bit of a hybrid card. I created the sentiment in Photoshop.

2008 - the year of being published

So CARDS Mag and Scrapbook Trends have submission deadlines this weekend; and off I went to make some cards.

You know I like the cards, but I love the pix. If they were any richer, you'd be able to taste it.






Thanks for looking.
