Mother's Day 2012

So I'm a bit late..but it's been nuts around here.

I made some Mother's Day Cards this year.  They are pretty similar..which if you remember, is my plan for all Mother's/Father's day type events where multiple people will be getting cards on the same day.

I made this one for my mother.

And this one for Jon's mother.  He helped choose the paper.

 

 Aren't my light tent pictures much more nicer than my other ones ;-)

I used my iRock to put the rhinestones on the flowers. 

 I kept the inside pretty blank for nice messages to our mamas.

I hope everyone has had a good week thus far..I'm hoping to get a start on Father's Day cards during this long weekend coming up..I've got a couple of other card related projects too.

Mother's Day 2011

It's going to be a Mother's Day Celebration here today.

It seems that my weekend schedule is always going to fall on Mother's Day, so I'm working today. But at least that spares me from the overcrowded restaurants filled with other people and their mothers.

I obviously made cards for my mother and my mother-in-law. I've decided to make my life easier that I will use the same supplies on the cards...look for this on Father's day too.

This one went to Jon's mother. He helped choose the paper. I like him to get involved for things that go to his family.

I decided to break out my new favorite tool, the iTop. Sort of like an iPod, but better. I made those brads, well not the tiny ones, but the ones that perfectly match the other paper. It's a pretty nifty tool..never again will I have to forgo brads because I don't have any that match.

I only have 1 mother's day stamp..so at least there was no decision making to be done.


This one went to my mother. Who doesn't really observe Mother's day, and who cheated and opened her card yesterday. Cheater.

I also used the iTop here for the center of the flowers. I used the iRock to place all the little pearls.

There's that stamp again. I just love this paper, it's perfect for all sorts of cards.

I hope everyone took the time today to appreciate their mother. I would be over at my mom's house pestering her right now except that I have to work...maybe later this week..

Mother's Day Cards 2010

Since we had Mother's Day a week early (both Jonathan and I have to work all weekend), I'll show you the cards I made for our mothers.

This one is for my mom. The paper is from SU! and when I saw it I thought of her.

Both cards are easel cards.

Here's the side..with terrible lighting..but not for much longer I hope.

This one is for Jonathan's mother. I used the Cricut to cut out the front part. He chose all the paper and the design, he did a pretty good job.

Both cards have this stamp. It's shiny because I embossed it. I used green ink and clear powder for his mom, white ink and green powder for my mom.

Here's a shot of the whole card.

Sorry I've been slacking, I didn't even get to make anything for National Scrapbook day! But in my defense we're 2 weeks from closing on our house and we've been packing like crazy.

Soon there will be more house pictures and I can create stuff in my very own scrap studio..I'm very excited!
