♥ Sorry for no posts lately ♥

Hi there! I just wanted to stop in to say why I haven't posted anything lately. My mom passed away on May 4th. I have not been in a blogging or crafty mood, to say the least. My mom was my best friend, my biggest cheerleader, my shoulder to cry on and the most AMAZING Mom, anyone could ever have. She would literally give the shirt off her back for anyone. Her family, daughters and especially her grandchildren meant everything to her. If she helped you with something, she made you feel like you did it all your own. I am heartbroken, to say the least. I miss her tremendously.

Losing my unborn child in March was already devastating to our family but this is a pain like I've never felt before. She was only 67 and was way too young to go. But I know that God has bigger plans for her and like they say, "The good die young."

I love you Mom and miss you. I'm so happy that you are now in a better place with no more pain.

                                             
Love and hold your family tight. You never know when it may be the last time you do.

I will be back soon.

much love....

♥ Some of my favorite Prima creations! ♥

Do you love Prima products as much as I do? I pretty much use at least 1 Prima product every time I craft! I can't get enough of them! Love the vintage look of their papers and ephemera and the flowers are just gorgeous! So I wanted to show some of my favorite Prima cards over the past couple of years.

This card was made using Prima's 6x6 Butterfly Pape Pack, Manifest Epiphany Flowers, one of their zipper pulls, Finnabair Butterfly 3 Wood Stamp and the Finnabair Scale Wood Stamp.

This card was made using papers from their Printery line and some of their gorgeous lace trim.

This one was made using some of Prima's Bella Rouge papers, flowers and a Prima crystal heart.

This card was made using Prima Finnabair papers, Opuscule and Bulbe Flowers and the "brick wall" is from one of the Prima flowers packaging! ;)

This was made with more of Prima's Printery line papers (love them!) and a Prima Spool Button.

And lastly, this one was just posted earlier for Shimmerz. (See previous post!) I made a background using some tissue paper and paints and one of the Alphabet cards by Prima, some of their flowers, wooden clock and some Salvage District Wood Icons.

It was hard to narrow down some of my favorite Prima creations but these ones are definitely my favorite ones. :)

Hope you have a lovely weekend!
