JUST ONE MORE ...

Oh  here I am a few days  late, geesh ~ that seems to me  my new style.
.May I say, I am not happy  with this  new pattern in my life...lol

Here is one more  Mothers Day card...I ordered this pack of paper  , it is from SU  clearance of course...  But I did  get it with  the thought of using this particular  piece  on a card for my youngest daughter. Her love for purple lives on  : )
basic, yep,  what do you expect when you wait  until the last minute to make these cards...  another pattern I am not happy with  lol
 I did use a white gel pen to add  slashes on the purple layer of the butterfly  to add definition...   and a purple  rhinestone in the center of the butter fly...yep after  thoughts   lol
I did write a personal message  to her, as  both of my girls  are awesome mommies...    So I try to  be sure  I tell them that  as often as I can...
The card for my oldest daughter  was  simple too. I even used an imaged colored  by a special friend , just for me... I rarely do this, but it  was  a great choice to share with  her... Unfortunately, I failed to scan it in !...

Thanks for stopping by,  I am out side  in this beautiful  day, so  I have  fresh tea  brewed, come and sit  with me please...
Have a wonderful day, full of life's blessings .

And May is zipping right along....

      Hello,  how are all of you???  We are finally getting to enjoy some  nice  spring like weather...  Yippee
 In our  group that loves to create,  and share,  this  month  the theme was awesome.  Tea pots and  vintage... perfect together.
I only  have one card  made so far, it was the big challenge tho,  we were  instructed  to use ONLY  supplies we  received.
 We could  add a card  base, but no other paper or embellishments or stamps... I did a 4 1/4  x 4 1/4  square card

Then  I changed it  up  a  bit  to use it  for   a special  young  lady.I took off the  oval and added another oval that said with  love on Mothers;s  Day~ O know I scanned it in,  but  nope, I cannot find it...lol   
 She  just had her first  baby  on Thursday
She  has called  me GRANDMA for 25  years,  no blood, just lots of love . So  I am happy and proud to say, I am a great grandma  now~  I must say, that gets  some  looks  as  most  of  my friends  know  my  oldest grand daughter    is  15, and one 14...lol    by  my daughters  in  blood...  

Okay, while I had  the left overs out on the table, I decided to make a  thank you card  for a sweet  sweet  dear friend.  She is always  there  with  kind words and prayers.
I  made a  card on a base...Again a square  card, I just like  to  use square cards when I can...  
And my last  card  for today  was actually designed  by one of my daughters...We made these a while  back in one of her classes...    I decided it was perfect  to send   to the mom  of  Kayle ~ my special grand daughter ~  as this is  her first year  as a  grandma  on Mothers Day...  so playing dress up seemed to fit  nicely


Ok  now I still have 2 more Mother's Day cards to make,  but I wanted to  share  these  for now. Then I will be  working on  a graduation card  for my second oldest grand daughter ~ she  will be leaving  8 th grade   and  entering  High School ...wow  wow  wow  
So  be sure  to check  back  in a week or so,  to see what I come up with...She is  such a breath of fresh  air,  full of love   and  good stuff, I cannot even  attempt to think of what I may do for her...   

Til then,  enjoy  this spring weather,  and I will try to get my chair on the front porch  so you all can come sit   with me  and visit... 
Bye  Bye  now ...
