Happy Mother's Day

So I wish a very Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!! Today is a day for you to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labors the other 364 days a year!! I hope that each of you gets to spend some time today doing what you love best and that you get to feel pampered and special for at least some part of today!

I am very sorry for going MIA for so long! I have been working on a couple of personal projects. Our son is graduating from Keene High in just over a month. I have been working on a scrapbook for him and I also stamped the graduation announcements.

If you are one of the people that don't like Sock Monkey you may want to skip down a bit and check out the birthday cards below.

A few weeks ago we had a birthday card class where the participants created 10 birthday cards for all types of birthday recipients including kids, men, and ladies. I shared a couple of the cards the last time I posted. We made a couple cards using the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set. We also used Eastern Blooms, Embrace Life and Branch Out to create other cards for this class.

This is the card we made using Embrace Life. It was stamped in Stazon ink on vellum and then we used the stylus on the back of the image to rub the flowers which turns the vellum white.

I love this card! What a great guy card, right? We used the Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP. This month Stampin' UP! has a great special on all the Designer Series Paper including the Specialty Paper and also the textured cardstock.
