the Beauty of a Mother's Love...♥The Shabby Tea Room♥

Have you seen the new Challenge Blog, The Shabby Tea Room?!! What a gorgeous shabby chic blog! Every week there will be new challenges issued. This week's inspiration photo reminded me of my Mom. She is a beautiful, loving person. I know I can count on her always! She is my true inspiration! I love you so much Mom! This card is for you! And, isn't this photo, the first ever challenge at the Shabby Tea Room, just beautiful! You have to use pink, cream, red, green and brown on the card.
I used some Flights of Fancy by Prima papers and chipboard as well as a pink crystal swirl. I also used some red gingham ribbon, a red heart pearl and a Melissa Frances Rub-On.Come and check out the Shabby Tea Room blog! It is sure to inspire you too!!

Have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Hugs...
