♥ A Shabby Flower Cart ♥

Well...it is actually an Ice Cream Cart but I turned it into a Flower Cart! That is why this digi stamp by Louby Loo is so fun! You can customize it to whatever you like!
This card us for this week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room! This week's challenge is called "Ruffled Up!" It is to create a card/project with ruffles on it! How fun is that! As I mentioned before I used Louby Loo's Ice Cream Cart digi stamp, some Girls Paperie papers, Melissa Frances rub-on transfers, glitter, a mini wooden clothespin, hemp cord, mini roses and butterfly, liquid pearls, ribbon and of course lace ruffles!
Louby Loo is this week's prize sponsor! The winner will receive 3 digi stamps of their choice!

♥ Simon Says.... Paper Piecing or Piercing! ♥ { And my Winner!}

That is this week's challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog...paper piecing or piercing!
This week the DT got to play with My Favorite Things stamps. I used the "Baby Bump" set. I first stamped the image twice, cut out the entire image on one and only the shopping bags, boots and shirt on the other. I then colored them all in with some Copics and then adhered the bags, boots and shirt over the 1st image. I also used papers by Pink Paislee called Butterfly Garden, a paper doily, some Hero Arts lace trim and pearls, seam binding ribbon and some Martha Stewart glitter.

The random winner of this week's challenge will win a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Super store!


And...my winner of the $10 credit voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store from last week's 2nd Anniversary blog hop is...

♥ The Sweetest Story Ever Told.... ♥

...are the stories shared between mother and child. I love to hear stories from my Mom about when I was a child or even when my mom was a child. And that makes scrapbooking even more special too! Looking back at all those special memories
preserved forever...hearing all the wonderful stories behind the photos. Precious memories.
I made this Mother's Day card using this week's Mojo Monday sketch. This has to be one of my favorite sketches of all time! So fun and it can be used in many different ways.
I used papers by The Girls Paperie and Melissa Frances, Love Mail Creative Scraps by Crafty Secrets, a Studio G stamp, wooden heart, Maya Road chipboard alphas, natural twine, a Martha Stewart mini rose, glitter, trim and lots of mini pearls.

Here is the awesome sketch:

I am also entering this into the following challenges:

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge: Mum's the Word

I hope all of you, whether you are in the U.S. or not,  have a happy and wonderful Mother's Day this Sunday and always! Share some stories with your children this Mother's Day! They will be treasured by all for a lifetime! :)

Much love...
