Mother's ~Colour Create Week 16~

Hello Everyone I have been so busy on a project I have hardly had any time to do my challenges. I created this card for The challenge at Colour Create to use the colors sky blue, tan and ecru. The image is for inspiration. I had pulled this stamp set out to make a Mother's Day Card...but as things go didn't quite make it. I still wanted to make the card anyway.....I still think it would be a great card for a new mother. I used the stamp set from SU Maternal Instincts 2004. Colored with Gamsol Prismacolor. Layered using DCWV Nana's kids stack, Bazzill cardstock. Prima flowers, Fancy Pants straight pin, trims, rhinestones, and the Cricut used Storybook for the marquee on side, the flourish are Home Accents. Cuttlebug embossed. The inside reads God could not be everywhere, and so He created mothers. Such a great sentiment. TFL!!

Magical ~Chirper Challenge #15~

Hello Everyone!!! I was so happy to hear the news.....I am now a proud member of the DT for the Chirper Challenge. I was sooo EXCITED when I found out!! Yes, I was doing the happy dance!! Smiles!!!! The challenge was to use the sketch.....well when I saw it.......everyone knowing me I can't do simple....I was lost....(me thinking I could only use this exact sketch) oh no that is tooo much negative space for me.....panic time! Okay I can do this....let me see...oh yeah sunshine was also apart of the challenge. Then when I found the Fancy Pants pp I said this is it. I added a sun from Graphically Speaking, then Magical from Tink. The wings are Fancy
pants. The pic really is magical to me. This is my 20yo dd Alexis and my 9mon. baby Dusty. They are 19 years apart. The journaling reads: Alexis you and Dusty look so magical together. To be 19 years apart your love for each other grows daily. Even though you are away at college he gets so excited when he sees you. This bond will be forever magical, it will shine thru both of you. I love both of you, forever shine!! Mom My dd Alexis loves this pic!! TFL!!
