Happy Mother's Day

 To all those that will be celebrating tomorrow, I wish you a very Happy Mother's day!  My cardmaking group had a Mother's day card exchange, this is the card I made for the lady who I had to send to.

Since my Mother or Mother in law are no longer with us and this card was part of the Diamond dots kit I got, I thought I might as well join the exchange.

I am sharing today's card with Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Make it colorful.

bright hopes

 Today I am using more stickers that I bought for my junk journals that I thought would work nicely with this film strip die, trying to come up with more ideas for the guy cards I need for birthdays :) I thought the tickets looked a little bare so I stamped the dragonfly and cut with a matching die and colored him adding a little sparkle pen to the wings, adding the sentiment across the filmstrip.

• Amazon sticker pack

Sending warm thoughts

 I was in need of another sympathy card, I went with my vintage roses papers and ephemera that come in the paper pack, adding a stamped sentiment to the postcard, and a doily from my stash. I popped up some of the items with foam tape

Cherish Happy Memories

 I went with a mixed media/collage type card for our son in law. I need to use more of the pastes I have bought before they dry up, I used it through a script stencil, I like how this has a shimmer to it, you will be able to see it on the close up picture better.  The sentiment is from a vellum pack of sentiments, I tore it and then inked around the edges. Used another of my wooden pieces, this time a clock. Some washi tape and one of Tim's labels that I stamped on.

• Crafter's square - Wooden Clock
• Ciabella - Engine of the Future 12x12 paper
• Crafter's workshop - Mini Believe Script Stencil
• Solar Paste - Crocodile Tears (through the stencil)
• JoAnns - Vellum Quotes & Sentiments (torn and inked)
• Tim Holtz - French Design tape and Vintage Label

Sending you hugs

 We have a new young family that started attending our church this past year and her little girl had to have surgery. Our Pastor asked if I could make her a card. I had no idea what to do, so I just started looking through all my stamp sets and I came across this stamp that I thought would work for her. I was a bit intimidated since I have not colored anything but white people and had no idea if I even had colors that would work for her but I ended up being happy with how it turned out. The sentiments in the stamp set with her didn't work well so I found a stamp sentiment from another set to use. 

I stamped her out twice the second time with some post it note so I could mask her off to add in the grass and sky. The tree, cat and bird are all die cuts.

• Hot off the press - Janie's Girls stamp set, masked to add background, colored w/markers
• Simon Says stamps - You got this sentiment stamp
• My Favorite things - Cloud stencil W/tumble glass ink
• CRS Tapestry - Grass blades stamp
• Memory Bos - Bare Sapling, Grove leaves and Flying bird dies
• Impression Obsession - Cat die from pattern paper

I would like to share my card with Simon Says Monday Challenge 4 legged Friends
