Lets hear it for Mums!

I can't believe the year is going so quickly and on March 11th in the UK it will be Mother's Day. I think it is so important that we honour the mothers in our lives and remember those that are no longer with us. Sadly one of my best friends passed away last year and I will be thinking of her and also of her son this year.

I am very lucky to still have my Mum here and also a Mum myself. I always look forward to the thoughtful gifts my son chooses  - although they are usually always pink and sparkly!!

I am sharing a Mother's Day card here I made for my Mum to give her Mum who is 97!

I am entering them in the following challenges:

Lets Craft and Create - Anything Goes + Mother's Day

Dies R Us - Pastel Colours

Paper Creators - All About Mum

Fab N Funky - Mother's Day

Try It On Tuesday - Mum's The Word

A Day for Mothers

I do hope those who celebrate it had a lovely Mother's Day yesterday. The weather here in the South of England was beautiful, so we had a lovely family meal by the sea. We also took our new pup who was so well behaved!

Anyway I finally got round to making a card for my own Mum which I can now share with you.

Being short of time I turned to my Tilda papercraft stash. It is so pretty I tend to look at rather than use it!! I used a base card and various decoupaged diecuts. The sentiment was made using individual letter stickers. I'm glad to say that Mum was very pleased with it!

I am also going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Glitter and Sparkle - Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day

I hope all the Mums out there are being made to feel very special on Mother's Day and of course thinking of the mothers that are no longer with us.

I made so many Mother's Day cards over the last few weeks, but finally got round to making a special one for my own Mum!

I love Joanna Sheen's Holly Pond Hill CD and the lovely artwork by Susan Wheeler. So I made this card using printed sheets and the additional decoupage. I finished the card with ribbon and roses.

For Mum!

Firstly apologies for neglecting my blog what with half term being in the middle of February the time flew by!

A few months ago I bought a mini Cricut machine which I am slowly getting to grips with. I thought I would share one of the cards I made using the machine.I used a printed card blank as the base and added paper flowers to decorate. 

I have some other Mother's Day cards to share with you later in the week!

I am entering this card into the following challenges :
