Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I started my day being woken up with doggy kisses from Amber and then I spent the day with my mom :) 

Here is the card I made for her this morning - yes, I'm a last minute girl and work better under pressure LOL!

I used the London Market Project Pantry kit and the Make It Amazing stamp set from Taylored Expressions. Aren't the papers so pretty! I knew they would make a wonderful card for my mom.  

I am entering the card in several challenges:

Clean & Simple Stamping #190

Tuesday Throwdown #97 - Motherly Love

Celebrate the Occasion #62 - Mother's Day

Raise the Bar #104 - Mother's Day 

Stamptacular Sunday #163 - Butterfly Kisses

Here's a pic I had my hubby take of us after we got back from shopping and lunch :)

Open Challenge this week @ FBW!

It's Wednesday...and this is the only card I've made this week.  {sigh - think my mojo flew off to cooler weather}

We have an open challenge this week for Flutter By Wednesdays - just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. I sat down with no plan last night but I think I pulled it together okay. I was going to add more colors to the card but I really liked the cream, green & black combo once I started gluing things down. Please click HERE to enter your creation at FBW!

Other challenges I incorporated
Deep Ocean Challenge #4 - Ribbons
Everybody Art #151 - Dots
Stamps R Us - Through the Garden Gate
Once Stitch at a Time #71 - Flowers
PaperPlay Challenges #28 - Things with Wings

Card Recipe
Stamps - Poppy Collage by Memory Box
Paper - Hometown Summer by Pink Paislee, misc. cardstock
Ink - Bamboo Leaves by Memento
Other - Martha Stewart butterfly punch, Recollections pearls, Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot

Thank you for fluttering by today!! Hopefully I'll be able to get more done to share soon!

FBW #148 - Buttons & Bows

Happy Wednesday!

I am so excited to bring you a new Flutter By Wednesday challenge - did you know that we had over 200 entries last week - woohoo!! Can we top that this week? I bet you'd like to know the challenge before answering that question right? lol

We'd like to see Buttons AND Bows on your card/project this week (must have both!) along with a butterfly, fairy or angel.  I had so much fun putting my card together! I started by picking out my stamps first - some newer ones from Memory Box ~ Leaf Print Butterfly and Vintage Record Sheet. Then I was going to use some Memory Box paper but I couldn't find it and decided to break open my Pink Paislee Queen Bee 6x6 pad that has been collecting dust for quite some time. In my blog hopping over the past few weeks I have seen a lot of layered embellishments and incorporated a button & bow in one for my card.  I really like how it turned out!  The sentiment is from the Verve Kind Words set.
