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...

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"

Life is Good! Enjoy!

Hi!  Glad you could stop by for a visit today!
As I sit here scheduling this post to go live, it's a foggy, rainy, soggy day here in Manitoba, Canada!
We've had 3 days of this in a row, and some sunshine would be great!  

I'm back today with a new {Pin}spirational challenge...and the picture we have for you makes me hope the sun will come out and gives me a hope that spring must be lurking for us around the corner...

Let's take a look...

 

Isn't it gorgeous!!!!
I'm so ready to be working in my flower beds and to be going on bike rides!

We have a wonderful bunch of sponsors for you today...


 
 
 

 

Be sure to check the {Pin}spirational Challenge blog for all the fabulous prizes being offered!

Awhile back while browsing the SVG Cuts store, I came across a fabulous cutting file that included a bicycle shaped card.  I just couldn't pass it up!  I knew it was perfect for this challenge!

Let's take a peek...


I chose to go with softer and muted tones even though the {pin}spirational photo is more vibrant.  
I just think it's the most adorable card!  I decided to add two sentiment stickers to the card because they just summed up how I always feel when I go on a bike ride and play among my flowers!

I'm interested to see what inspires you this challenge round.  
Be sure to link up you creations so I can stop by your little spot in blogland for a visit!

Until next time...

Let's Get Into Shape...

Hello!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
Don't worry, I'm not here with a fitness or exercise plan as my post title might lead you to believe!

I'm back today with the new challenge over at the Unstampabelles....where your challenge is to create a paper craft that does not involve any stamps!  And, of course we always have a twist.  This months twist is to include at least 3 geometric shapes in your creation.  Don't worry, once you get down to it it's really not as hard as it seems.

We have a wonderful sponsor this month...

...who is offering one lucky prize winner a $15 discount coupon!

I came across a cute cutting file for my Silhouette Cameo over at My ScrapChick which I just knew I had to own!  I had this challenge sitting in the far back of my mind, just wondering what I could create....so the first thing I did was to start counting shapes!  LOL

Here's the creation...we'll run through the various shapes in just a minute...


Isn't that just the cutest easel card!  I had so much fun working with it...thinking about spring and wishing it was coming a little faster.

Now, as you can see we have a variety of circles and scalloped circles on this project.  Then there's all the rectangles in the fence, and let's not overlook the elongated oval which acts as the card stop and the tiny triangles for the birdies beak!  See...not so hard when you start looking for the shapes.
I must admit that I started looking through my stamp collection when I suddenly remembered that I couldn't use any stamps!  LOL.  I rummaged through my tiny stack of rub ons and came up empty handed there as well...so my own handwriting and sentiment it was!  I do believe this is the first time I have even handwritten a sentiment on one of my cards...I always think it just doesn't look as put together as when I stamp or use a digi sentiment.  But, I have to admit that the handwriting sorta suits this card! 

So, now it's your turn.  You have one month to play along!
I can hardly wait to see how your card "shapes" up!

Until next time...
