Happy Mother’s Day

Hello there and Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the Outline Floral Mom die along with a sentiment from one of the Sentiment Strips printables. Check out the video to see how I created this project HERE.

SSS-Outline Floral Mom

Today my family surprised my mom and I with a very special Mother’s Day lunch. The kids cleaned the house and decorated the dining room. They bought flowers, cookies and brownies from Panera. You can see my messy craft station in the background. It’s never clean. That’s a big roll of foam tape leaning up against the clock in case you were wondering. It’s pretty much a hot mess. I’m so thankful for my mom and that we can spend this day with her. Have I ever told you that my mom was the one who got me into card making? She invited me to a Stampin’ Up party. Yep, the rest is history!

Part of the feast was a huge tray of McDonalds french fries. They knocked it outta the park, I tell ya!!! I was in heaven. They get me. Also, this is my Target cardigan that I wear just about every single day of my life. If you’ve every watched my videos you’ve probably seen it. It’s like my security blanket.

I’m so thankful for this crazy crew of mine who made me a momma. They keep my days and my heart extremely full at all times.

Thank you so much for stopping by my little old blog time and time again and for your many encouraging words. Sending hugs to you today❤️

Grid Play Rainbow

Hi there! Just popping’ in to share this project that is over on the Simon Says Stamp blog today. I had some fun playing with the Grid Play products and created this colorful circle pattern.

Celebrate Women Blog Hop

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Celebrate Women Blog Hop.

SSS-Good Job Mama

My project features the Good Job Mama stamp set designed by the one and only Cathy Zielske. The sentiments in this set really hit home for me and I chose to use eight of them because I just couldn’t choose one.

SSS-Good Job Mama

I trimmed several sentiment strips out of solid colored cardstock and embossed the sentiments in white as well as the large sentiment on the slate background panel.

For All Moms Limited Edition Card Kit

Hi there! Popping in to share a couple of projects from the latest For All Moms-Limited Edition Mother’s Day 2019 Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Limited Edition Mother's Day 2019 Card Kit

My first project features the adorable Coffee Love die.

SSS-Coffee Love & For All Moms

I created a circular window frame using one of the Nested Circle dies and matted the coffee cup with Soft Navy cardstock and Echo Park pattern paper. The sentiment is from the For All Moms stamp set.

This next card uses the Bouquet of Roses stencil included in the kit. I blended distress oxide inks for the color and then die cut the panel with one of the Stitched Rectangle dies.

SSS-Bouquet of Roses & For All Moms

I popped the panel onto a Cotton Candy card base. The sentiment is also from For All Moms with a few sequins from the Classy sequin mix included in the kit.
