Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends out there!  We are heading out of town to have a late lunch with my MIL and the rest of the family.  So this is quick today..........My card has been a work in progress for several days and thus missed the deadline for the CR84FN challenge this past week.  :(  Anyway, I love how it turned out and wanted to share it here.  I did use the sketch from Mojo Monday for this card as well.  Lots of layers but kinda fun to do after all the CAS cards from my last posts!  This is for my MIL and she will LOVE it!  She recently showed me that she keeps all of them in a book.  This means the world to me! 

Here is the sketch: 

I finally broke out my new Verve goodies I ordered right after the release!  I am in love with this floral set and matching dies!  These dies are very easy to use especially with the little clear positioning tool that's included.  And did I mention that they come in their own little pouch?  Julee has thought of everything!

Happy Mother's Day!  I may be back later in the day with another post and to update my supply list!

I'm so grateful for you.....

I visited my LSS the other day and found they had a small area of MFT products there.  I was super excited as I had been eyeing some more of their Die-namics and Pure Innocence stamps. 

They even had the Sheltering Tree and Leaf Duo Die-namics....the one I was wanting! 

Whahoo.....I didn't have to pay shipping and it was a tad cheaper than the MFT store!

So I went in search of a card to CASE and found this beautiful card

by Melody on her blog A Paper Melody.  I didn't change very much except for the pattern papers on here!

I made this card for a very good friend of mine, Laurie, who shopped for me at CHA during her vacation with her hubby.  I am so grateful that she proxy shopped for me!  Thank you Laurie!

Well, she mentioned that she went to the MFT booth just to get the Rolled Flower die and they

were sold out!  So when I saw that my LSS had them......I went and bought her one as a thank you!

She got this card in the mail yesterday so I am safe to post it now!  LOL

This last photo actually shows where I stamped some text from PTI onto the blue DP

in Vintage Cream.  Like I said, I CASE'd this a lot if you look at Melody's card.

Thanks for taking a peek today!

Just for You

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend........I know I am!

These MFT dies were just staring me in the face so I broke them out and made this card.

I also used the Library Ledger paper from PTI.  Ummm.....can you say yum?  I am in LOVE with this paper collection.  The colors and patterns are just fabulous.

I found these embossing strips from Cuttlebug and I'm sure they are nothing new but I fell in love with them and thought they could add just the right touch to cards sometimes.  I used one of them on the side of the sentiment here.  I also used the sketch from Get Sketchy for this one.

Thanks for stopping by!

BOY

Hello and thank you so much for stopping by!  I have not used the Baby Button Bits set yet for an actual baby card except for one sentiment.  In need of a baby boy card, I thought it was a good time to put it to use!  Lots of Library Ledger papers and I used my favorite new die:  Dienamics banner die from MFT.

I didn't want to try to "color" the teddy bear so I did the easy thing......stamp and cut out!
