Happy Mother's Day


Hope everyone is having a great week so far.  I finally was able to do some crafting.  I'm getting better everyday with my grieving process and the crafting today was a big step.  My DH was my best  Judge when I was creating things.   I always was asking him and showing him what I had done.

This was even a harder challenge for me because of the project that I made was a Mother's day project.  I lost my mom 21 years ago.  My mother-n-law I lost 6 years ago.  She was my best friend.  I was her care giver for the last 9 weeks of her life.   Making this card was very soothing for me to be able to remember them both and that too know that My DH  is with both of them.

I'm going to post my card first,  then I will let you know below the post what cuts I used and the embossing.

 My card is a 5x7 card. The embossing if from Anna Griffin the Climbing Rose folder.  I just love her folders






The flowers are from the flower shoppe cart.   I love this cart for making small flowers. The ribbon and the white flowers were in my stash that I had gotten from M's a few months ago. The gems are from M's also.   The Happy Mother's Day stamp was also in my stash.  Not sure the name or where I had gotten it.  I'm entering this in the BBTB2 http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com  challenge for this week which is to make a Mother's Day Project.  I'm also entering this is the FCCB challenge also.   http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com

Thanks for looking and have a great day  Happy Early Mother's day everyone.  Cherish the time that you have with your mom's because one day they won't be there.  God will have taken them with him.

    Your card is beautiful. I was just browsing your blog and I want to say how sorry I am for the loss of your Dear Husband. Also, your new Grandson is a blessing.
