Here are three Mother’s Day cards for three very special ladies.

This first one is for my dear mother-in-law.  She likes warm colors, and they suit her.  Lotti is such a kind and wonderful woman.  Love her.

The die cut oval is popped up with foam tape.  The image has been subtly shaded with Copics, and the flowers and leaf have been fussy cut and adhered with glue dots.

This next card is for one of my daughters-in-law.  She LOVES purple so, of course, there had to be some purple used here.   Kimber really has her hands full right now with three little preschoolers!  Thank you for being such a good mom to those sweet grandkids of mine!

Added lots of rhinestone for lots of bling.  And for a little extra depth, the white die cut doily is popped up with foam tape.

This last card is for another daughter-in-law.  She is the mommy to three of my granddaughters.  Jenna keeps the girls (and their dad!  heheh) active and having fun.

I had so much fun making this card using my new flower punch with matching image.  Yup, lots more blingy rhinestones and pearls and a popped up image here, too.

All three cards are being entered into the two following challenges:

Simon Says “Spring Flowers” and
Sister Act Card Challenge “Challenge #56”

Hoping all those moms out there today have a wonderful and relaxing day!
Happy Mother’s Day!

I can hardly believe that my grandson is a year old!  Here is his card for the big day.

The monkey is a cupcake topper that was saved from a baby shower I attended a couple of month’s ago.  A small cut was made in the cardstock, and the little stem was inserted and taped down on the underside to hold it in place.

CAS on Sunday is having a fun “Sparkle and Shimmer” challenge to use glitter.  This card is playing along in the challenge, as this ever so dazzling designer paper has lots of sparkle already built-in.

There are a couple of other challenges, too, that Little Monkey is playing in.  They are the Papertake Weekly Challenge “Anything Goes” and the Simon Says Monday Challenge “Five”.  The “five” things I chose to create this card are: Paper, Stamp Set, Ink, Monkey Topper and Rope Twine.

Happy Birthday, Little Monkey!
