A card for my MOM...

How does the saying go? 

"Anyone can be a Mother, but it's only a special few that deserve to be called Mom." 

I may have tripped on those words a bit... but all in all my mother has most definitely earned the title "Mom."  She's the best!  

Here is a card that I made for her earlier this week... and am just now getting around to posting it.  Let's just say that days and hours and minutes all seem to be running together lately.  :)

My whole card is made from products with Stampin' Up... with the exception of the image itself  being from Digi Darla's.  

I followed the sketch from  FMS 136 - Freshly Made Sketches.  Whew... made the cut-off for their challenge.  Ends Monday at 12:00 noon.

I also used the colors from The Paper Players - PP195

But... their challenge closed on Friday.  Missed this one.  :(

But... they are now having a "CLEAN and SIMPLE Floral" challenge. 

Yay!!!

The Paper Players - PP196

Challenge ends Friday May 23rd at 12:00 noon.  

And last but not least... the Frosted Designs Friday challenge is...

A Mother's Day Mood Board.

You have until Wednesday the 21st for this one. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  

Hoppier Days ahead for you... - DDC 58 and FMS 81

Good morning!  I'm here to share with you the newest challenge over at DIGI DARLA'S!!  Our theme this week is...

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

Show us your flowers, trees, veggies... basically anything that GROWS in a garden.  

Well in my case, I couldn't resist using this adorable image called "FROGGY SHOWERS."  It's one of Digi' Darla's New Releases this month.  The mushroom umbrella definitely depicts the growth of ugly mushrooms in our garden.  That's what we get with all of our rain.  

Besides the Digi Darla image, all of my products used are from Stampin' Up.  SU Markers and Cardstock in Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade and Baja Breeze and a few other colors used to color the digi image,  Floral District DSP,  Lucky Limeade organza ribbon, flower buttons, clouds embossing folder and PROUD MOMENT... I came up with the sentiment all on my own.  I've seen the word "Hoppier" used with Frogs and Bunnys... but added the rest myself.  

I am also entering my card over at Freshly Made Sketches # 81 where they are all about clean and simple.  Just gotta remind myself to walk away.  :)

I flipped their sketch.  

 

Thanks for taking a look!  Have a great day!!

DDC #43 meets FMS #66 - "Tidings of Comfort and Joy" Card

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!  Today is the start of the very next challenge over at Digi Darla's.

The theme of the challenge is...

Peace on Earth plus use Ribbon

I chose to use the image from Digi Darla called "Blessing from Heaven."  I thought it looked "Peaceful."  Any new Mom could tell you that!!  I have a good friend that just had a baby a few weeks ago and I have yet to meet the new little one.  

I also had a little help from the Ladies over at Freshly Made Sketches 66 for their Clean and Simple sketch here...

I hope you all find some time for yourself this week and come on over and join us at Digi Darla's.  You have until Saturday 12/29 to play along.  

The rules have changed a bit.  You can use any image you would like for a chance to win!!  If you happen to use a Digi Darla image, you simple get 2 entries for your chance to win.  Easy and fun!!

Check out all of the details HERE.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday filled week!!
