A Gift For MOM

Good morning it is school vacation week here so I have this week off! Did you ever notice how fast vacation weeks pass by so quickly compared to work weeks. There are only 4 days left before we go back and I haven't even made a dent in my list of things that need to be done this week. I have gotten a lot of coloring finished. This cutie is one of the new releases from Sew Many Stamps that I was lucky enough to win. I love everyone of them especially the little boy and girl, they are so adorable.

I made this card following the sketch for the Sew Many Challenge this week and along with the sketch the theme is mother so I made a Mother's Day card. I used my favorite color blue as the main color. I accented the letters with my Rubber Stamp Tapestry mini flower set. The one thing I couldn't capture was all the sparkle, all the flowers on the image and the letters have Star Dust Stickles on them so the card really sparkles IRL. This card is simple compared to a lot of the cards I do but I am really happy with it.

Here are some other challenges that this card fits

Sew Many Challenge #11-A really cute sketch with a mother theme this week!

Dare You to Digi Stamp Challenge DU2DS35-this challenge is to use metal, I used a metal heart charm on my card.

Practical Scrappers Challenge-This challenge id floss, fiber and ribbon. The first two I hardly ever use but I live for ribbon (especially polka dotted).

ABC Challenge-S is for SPARKLE. Love this because I would sparkle everything if I could!

Totally Gorguss Challenge #26-Charming is the challenge. I love to use charms so I picked a double heart for a child and mother's heart together.

When You Gotta Go..., Going Grey With Scrap-Creations Challenge #5

Good Morning everyone. I hope your weather is as wonderful as it is here in New England! I just love everything about Springtime. This card is for the first challenge of April, Challenge #5 at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. The theme for this week is SEW CUTE, create a card or project using a cute stamp or digi image!

Our wonderful sponsor this week is

Sew Many Stamps!

They have absolutely adorable digital images that are wonderful to create with and the ladies couldn't be nicer or more helpful over there. All of the DT cards that were created this week used a Sew Many digi that was graciously donated to each of us by Sew Many and they are offering a great prize to the winner of this week's challenge so be sure to pull out your cutest stamp and play along with us, just remember to use Basic Grey paper on your creation.

I created an easel card this week because I just learned how to make them and it was so much fun I decided to make one for our challenge! This image made me laugh when I first saw it and thought of the comforts of home! I thought the image should look 3D so I popped up just the top half of the image after I cut it out. I also added two different colors of Flower Soft, green grass and citrus, to the ground to give the image some dimension. It took a couple of tries to get the wood to look weathered but I am happy with it.

Please look at what our wonderful DTs created that are SEW CUTE!
