Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's today!  Here is another card using the Because I care stamp set and the sentiment from All Holidays.

I used my markers to color the flower with Marina Mist and Always Artichoke and then added some Night of Navy to the edges of the flower to add a little more color.  The Designer papers are Elegant Soiree and To the Nines (clearance rack).
The base of the card is Marina Mist and I also used Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla.

It's Good to Dream

I made this page using a sketch from a challenge on Soul Scrappers.  I just love these papers and am so glad that we can still use them in My ditital studio! 

The designer series paper is from Botanical Gazette which is available in the Occasions mini catalog and also as an add on for My Digital Studio.

The top with some fun flowers.  I just used some scraps of 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain ribbon for the leaves and stuck them underneath the flowers with glue dots.

Supplies:
Play Date designer series paper
Old Olive, Real Red and Chocolate chip card stock
Brights buttons
5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain ribbon

I also made my own envelopes with the Sweet Stitches designer series paper because I didn't have
any the right size :)
