For My Mom ♥

Hello My Friends!  Today I bring you a card I made for my mom for Mother's Day.  I'm really trying to be ahead of things this year.  I have colored this gorgeous Spring Rain Tilda with Distress Inks and Markers.

I am using papers from Maja's Vintage Romance collection.  I really love this color combination of the purple, ivory and sage-y green.  

All of my die cuts are Magnolia DooHickey Dies.  I found the pretty butterflies on line and cut them by hand.

Distress Inks: Antique Linen, Black Soot, Bundled Sage, Iced Spruce, Scattered Straw, Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Weathered Wood, Worn Lipstick

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  I hope you have a great day and better tomorrows.

♥ Laura

Good Morning Friends!

Hope you have had a great week and a happy Easter.  

Last week for me was CRAZY!  My hubby flew my mom in for my birthday and it turned out to be non stop shopping and dining out.  We did a shrimp boil for Easter dinner (which was FANTASTIC btw), and then it was time for mom to fly back home on Monday.  I went straight from the airport to work.  By the time dinner time came, I had a fever and felt awful but I went to work the next day and Wednesday too.  I just had to call in sick Thursday and Friday but I am recovering nicely.  Unfortunately, I haven't gotten my friend Mick's card out in the post yet (previous post).  Sorry my darling, It will be on it's way tomorrow.  :(

I made this card for my father-in-law for his 88th birthday.  I so love the Magnolia Birthday Cake and Bunting dies from the DooHickey Club volume 5 collection.

Sorry about the wonky pictures.  I had to use my cell phone to take them since the rechargeable  batteries for my camera were dead.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have a great week, a wonderful day and better tomorrows.
