Dream Valley Challenge 52 - Mother's Day

Hiya,

And Happy Mother's Day to all those mums out there! Especially my own :-)

Dream Valley's challenge this fortnight is all about Mother's Day so I thought I'd share one of the three mother's day cards I made (because I also have a step-mum and a mother-in-law!) I've made good use of this stamp by LOTV.....

A close-up of the image.....

Hopefully, I'll have a bit of pampering later on but right now life continues as normal with Sunday swimming lessons and a friend's birthday party to take the kids to, oh, and a Sunday roast to cook... :-) I'm not sure any Mother's Day will ever be completely for the Mums! We're far too busy :-)

Please pop over to Dream Valley to see the rest of the Mother's Day inspiration from the DT!

Love 'n' hugs,

Another Mother's Day Card....

Hiya!

It's about time I posted some more of my cards on here! I'm falling well behind - I've made plenty but I never seem to have the time to post them on my blog at the moment.... All busy, busy, busy :-)

This is another Mother's Day card - this one is for Paul's Mom, soon to be my Mother-in-law (and I couldn't ask for a nice one either!). I've used my lovely new LOTV stamp (thank you, Clare!) and my lovely new Joys Crafts heart die. Lucky me :-)

A close up of the image.....

I did the "Mum" bit by sponging some blue ink through the outline left by a peel off!

Dream Valley Challenge 27 - Mother's Day

Hiya!

It's time for another challenge from Dream Valley.  This time we would like to see what you are making for Mother's Day.

I've used my lovely new stamp Teddy for Mum from LOTV that I bought with the voucher I got for Christmas from  the beautiful and talented Clare. Thank you very much, Chicken! You'll be able to see the other goodies I bought in the near future....

I still haven't quite got over my recent paper piecing bug so here's some more :-) I coloured the shine on the balloons with a white gel pen. And then I had some fun with a make-up sponge and some ink to do the sky....

The sentiment is another from Sentiments 4 You....

I also used:

Papers - Papermania Henbury Lane

Promarkers

Nesties

Recycled cake ribbon

Crealies leaf die

Flowers from stash

Challenges:

CRAFT - Mother's Day

CES challenges - Flower frenzy

Crafty Ribbons - Celebrate your Mum

Let's Ink It Up - Show us your flowers
