Happy Mother's Day

Today is a day we thank our Mother's for all they have done for us.  All the sacrifices, the tears and hard work they have gone through to bring us were we are today!!

I am sad today, because I can not go see my Mom or my Son.

Well, my poor car finally decided that over 200,000 miles was just enough.  So to find a "new to me" car, the saga begins.  I really HATE car shopping!! 

Anyway.... back to our female role model that taught us what to do and not to do to get through each day.... And bring us to where we are today.

Can you see it??

Here is a closer picture..

using the new Fancy Foil Designer Vellum you are able to create a "window" to see the inside.

Happy Mother's Day, Ladies!!

Using the gold bakers twine you can actually "pull" out the gold and it looks like thread.

Note the notches on the sides to hold the twine in place.

    

This card is definitely one you can mail.

Dontcha, just love the little gold hearts??

I know this looks like the one from stamp camp, right??  To be honest I received a store bought card for my birthday and it had a vellum overlay.  This is what inspired this card.

Yes, I did, using the new Heart punch from the itty bitty pack.  That acts as a way to open the front.

Using the hearts from the My Mother set to add a design to the background.

Mom, I love you!! 

I hope everyone is treated like 1 in a million today!!

Have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Ohh wait, I almost forgot!

Paper Pumpkin ... Feb '14

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO GET YOUR

FREE MARKERS!!

  Today's post is using Feb '14 Paper Pumpkin.  

The gift bags!! I LOVE them, they are better then ANY store bought bag!!

**WARNING.... WARNING** I made this one my own right from the get go.

The seam binding ribbon is not thick enough to just knot at each end so... making the ribbon a little longer and tying them together you are able to use any ribbon you want. 

You can even stamp on the bags..the Flowering Flourishes worked perfectly.  Adding my favorite punch, petite petal and a candy dot you get a great flower.  The pearls added just a little more pretty.

Sneaky right??

The lace ribbon and flower are from the Artisan Embellishment Kit that is available on the Clearance Rack.

The gold baker's twine goes beautifully with the gold glimmer paper used on the back of the "welcome" circle.  The clothes pin comes with the Paper Pumpkin kit, but I could have used gold ones here too (in the occasions catalog).  

This bag is special for me because I have a new niece due any minute... Remember my little butterfly girl?? She is getting a sister..

Seeing as the card was made prior to receiving this Paper Pumpkin I used the same colors and a few of the same elements to match.  SSssshhhh, don't tell Mindy!!

Okay enough teasing here is how it turned out...

 

Just beautiful!! Perfect for that new little girl!!

Well, I hope you are enjoying your weekend and have a Great day getting Crafty!!
