Cards in Envy: Motherly Love

Happy May Day!  I'm actually a little happy that our very rainy April is behind us and I'm looking forward to sunnier days.  I'm also looking forward to seeing your wonderful cards for the latest Cards in Envy Challenge starting today called "Motherly Love."  Create a card, any size but flat enough to fit in an envy, that focuses on Moms.  It doesn't have to be a Mother's Day card.  It could be a birthday, thank you, love you, etc.

I did go with a Mother's Day card for a Super Mom for my DT inspiration:

We hope you'll play along with us and show a Mom some love.  Please stop by the other DT members blogs for more wonderful inspiration and leave them some love too!  Thanks for stopping by ~ have a great week! 

W2CB: 4 Pieces of Pie for 5 People

Hi All!

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day and at Words 2 Craft By we'd like to continue honoring all Moms all month long!  Our theme this month is inspired by the following definition of motherhood from Tenneva Jordan :

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, 

promptly announces she never did care for pie.

You don't need a special day to thank your Mom or tell her you love her, right?  Please join us for our latest challenge.  The winning card/project this month will be asked to join us as a guest I-Teamer PLUS receive a $10 gift certificate to My Favorite Things!  Come play with us!

CASology: Mom

Long time, no play!  I've missed some great Cue Cards over the past few weeks due to some family medical issues.  All's well now and on the mend, so I headed out to the She-Shed for some crafty time!

This week's Cue Card over at CASology is MOM and I wanted to play!

Although my Mom has passed, I always try to make a Mother's Day card for my DIL.  She is a great Mom to my special little grandson!

I stamped a tiny polka dot background to ground the stitched heart die cut.  The sentiment is heat embossed with white detail embossing powder and a little polka dot flower and black upholstery thread finished it off. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
