♥ Simon Says...Mother's Day/Special Girl ♥

This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is about that special woman/girl in your life! Just make a card for Mother's Day, a feminine birthday card, a bride-to-be, etc. As long as it's for a special lady, we want to see it!!


For this week's card, I used a beautiful clear stamp set by Crafty Secrets called 'Love You Mother'. Love the sweet images in this set including that fun "coupon". I will be giving this to the BEST mom in all of the world! Mine! She is the most unselfish, caring and loving person I have ever known. I have yet to meet one person who even comes close to being as wonderful as her. Love you so much Mom!!


I also used some beautiful papers from the new Echo Park Graceful 6x6 Paper Pad. (See my giveaway above!) Love the vintage feel they have!

And to finish off my card, I also used some Maya Arts Twill Ribbon, Liquid Pearls in White Opal, a Martha Stewart paper rose and a little gem on the crown.


Here is the inside of the card.



As always, Heidi will generously give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!



Have a super fabulous day!

Everyone who meets him just instantly falls in love with him. So special!! Both of my kids are the reason for my life.

Life...a wonderful journey!

♥ Shabby Colorful Confections ♥

Pastel colors....sweets...shabby...fun. That is the theme of this week's Shabby Tea Room...Colorful Confections! Just look at this 'sweet' inspiration photo! yummy. Just make any type creation using the colors aqua, pink, green and neutrals and you must also include a tag. It doesn't have to have a sweet confection on it, only if you want to! :)

I made a fun, little card with a wrapped lollipop on it. I just punched out a scalloped circle from some cardstock, added some swirls with a white opaque marker and then added some chunky pink glitter to it. I then hot glued a stick to the back and wrapped a piece of plastic around it, tying it with a bow and then adding my tag.

The papers are by Fancy Pants Designs, ticket by My Mind's Eye, trim by Prima. I also used some Liquid Pearls and a button.


The winner of this week's challenge will win 5 digi stamps of their choice from our lovely sponsor, Robyn's Fetish!


Don't forget to leave some love for the other Shabby Girls too! ;)
