Belated Mother's Day

Hi guys!

Long time, no type! Sorry about that. I've been wanting to share my Mother's Day cards with you forever, but I haven't been able to get my act together to upload the photos, let alone write about them! But check back again, I have bunches of projects in the queue to share with you all, including my Father's Day cards, which I'm really excited about! They turned out so good, if I do say so myself!

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day! Jimmy and the kids let me sleep in and they made me Monkey Bread and fruit salad for breakfast. It was the best breakfast ever because Jim told me that for the first time, both kids actively helped make it. That meant more to me than anything they could have bought me.

Now on to our belated project.... You'll see that I made it simple this year, but I really like how they turned out. I made five of them for all the mom's in my life, my own dear mother, my step-mom, my MIL, my step-MIL, and my SIL. Yup. My sister-in-law is expecting her first baby in August so this was her first Mother's Day!





Here's a close up of the biggest butterfly to show you that I added a dimentional to give it some lift.




Now hold on to your pants! I actually decorated the inside!! Really, I couldn't believe it either, but I'm kinda excited about it because it's my first non-Stampin' Up! set. This is from Papertrey Ink called Butterfly Dreams.



Recipe:


Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU!), Butterfly Dreams (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Taken With Teal, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black
Paper: Whisper White, Taken with Teal, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and a retired SU! DSP

I really enjoyed this layout and will likely use it again for other things.


Have a great one!
