A Special Card for a Special Mom

Welcome!

I'm here to share with you today a new challenge over at Unstampabelles.  

It's a simple challenge with a simple twist...

"Paper Based Creation for Someone Special...

with the twist of blogging about why 

they are special to you..."

This month we are happy to be sponsored by our very own Beth...

...who will be awarding one lucky winner a Stamp'n Up prize!
How fabulous is that!

I knew right away that I wanted to create a Mother's Day Card for my very special mom!

My mom is also one of my very best friends.  She has always been there for me and always backs me up no matter what the situation.  She is an awesome Nana to my children and dotes on them like any Grandmother should!  My mom laughs with me, cries with me and is always there for advice.  She has always been my biggest cheerleader!

My mom is one of the very few people that I have always been able to count on in life.  

I have been extremely blessed to have been given the mom I have.  

So, here's the special Mother's Day Card that I created for her...

I've used an SVG Cuts cutting file, a Heartfelt Creations floral die, and a Memory Box swirl die.  I love the different tiers to this card.  

So, think of someone special in your life...male or female, and get creating a special something for them.  Then, don't forget to blog about why they're special to you so that we can read all about it when you link up with us at Unstampabelles.  

A few quick points to keep in mind...your creation must be paper based, you are not allowed to use stamps of any sort (rubber or digi) on your creation.  Don't worry, it's easier than it sounds.

Oh, and one final thought...

"Hey mom, I know you've read this and the card won't be a surpise!  LOL

Happy Mother's Day"

You're the best!

Until next time...

An Angelic Kinda Day

Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening...depending on where you are visiting from!

Another Friday is upon us...and it's the first Friday in May!  So hard to believe how the time is flying!

Since it's Friday, you know what that means...a new challenge over at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long!

And, it's your favorite kinda challenge...

"Anything Goes"

Easy, peasy!

We are excited to once again be sponsored by Eureka Stamps!

Be sure to check the CSAYL blog to see what kind of prize they are offering to one lucky winner!

I had the pleasure of playing with the digi stamp "Christmas Angel". 

Here's a look at what I did with her...

I just could not refrain from getting her all sparkled up!  I've used tons of different colored Stickles!

She has been colored with my Spectrum Noirs!  I've used two different patterned papers and sealed them off with some washi tape and some bling.  The joy die cut is a Memory Box die! 

Not too detailed...but I really wanted the angel to "sparkle" and be the main attraction.  

Hope you've been inspired to created a Christmas card today...just think, that's one less that you have to do in the busy season!

Until next time...
