Think Pink for Mother's Day

I hope the moms out there are feeling like queens today! My only "child" is Molly the Maltese, and she is really testing my patience today. Woof.

I made two cards for Mother's Day--one for my fabulous mom and one for my awesome mother in law. I'm so blessed to have both of these ladies in my life!

I used Teresa Collins paper from the Bebe Chic Girl collection for both cards. For my mom's card, I came up with the theme of Queen for the Day since the paper has these fabulous crowns on it. While my mom was here helping me scrapbook, she was trying to put a tiara dimensional sticker on every page so it seemed even more fitting to put it on her card.  :)

I used the Damask Decor cartridge, but instead of putting the pattern on the cover I switched it up and put it on the inside. Boom, I just blew your mind. The letters are from the Blackletter cartridge. The tiara (resting on the "q") is from Jolee's Boutique I believe.

Card for "Mom Penny"

For my mother in law's card, I used one of the card kits from Teresa Collins, which is adorned with a damask print and chandeliers. <3 Man, that thing made it SO EASY, I feel like a bit of a Mom Day Cheater!

The cover sentiment -- The Best Things In Life Aren't Things -- is totally my mother in law. She'd much rather have a latte with you for a couple hours at Starbucks over an elaborate gift. I cut the sentiment out of one of the Teresa Collins papers, and then backed it with DCWV glitter paper cut with my Mostly Memories circle (and oval) cutter. I like how the glitter is a bit of a paradox to the sentiment.

I stamped the inside with my new Inkadinkado chandelier stamp. The mom sentiments are a clear stamp set from Studio G. I got it from a local craft outlet store.

We celebrated "Mom Penny" yesterday by attempting to take her on a boat ride that wasn't running yet this season (oops), followed by the back of plan of a bus ride that took all too long (double oops) and eventually made it to our destination of a nice lunch (linner?) of shrimp tacos on the beach. We ran into our Starbucks barista while waiting for the bus, and he was kind enough to leave us two free "Mother's Day" drinks so we treated Mom Penny and her husband, David, to an afternoon iced latte. Yay!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day weekend! This month brings many birthdays so check back for some new cards, going up soon!

cheers,
