♥ Celebrate Mom ♥

This week's challenge over at the City Crafter blog is to "Celebrate Good Times". It is to use a banner or the word "Party" on your card. So with Mother's Day right around the corner, I thought I would make another card to celebrate Mom. After all, without her, we wouldn't be here! ;)

I used some Creative Scraps, Love Mail from Crafty Secrets as well as some Girls Paperie papers, Maya Road chipboard mini banners, punched butterflies, satin ribbon and trim, pearls, a Bazzill button (isn't it pretty!), and a Melissa Frances key and rub-on transfers.

I also used the following challenge(s):

♥ Flutterby Wednesday: Buttons and Bows (and a butterfly)
♥ Frosted Designs: use Bling
♥ Paper Pretties: Bring on the Bling
♥ Paper Romance: Bling
♥ Papercraft Star: Card Recipe

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!

That is this week's theme at The Shabby Tea Room! Buttons and Bows! And our Prize Sponsor is The Cutting Cafe. Love her stuff! A few weeks ago I made a candy shaped card for my niece's Sweet 16. I purchased the Candy Shaped Card set from the Cutting Cafe and I loved it so much, I decided to make another one for this week's challenge. These cards are so fun to make!
