My Mother's Day Card

I have been needing some inspiration to get started on my mother's day card for my mom. I finally found it! It is national scrapbooking day tomorrow and over at Crop Diva's Destination, they are celebrating starting today. Their first challenge was to use a color combination (see below). Then I saw this sketch below on Mojo Monday and it fit perfectly!

I found this cute little photo of an elephant and her mama on google, made it black and white and cut it out. Then used a sentiment that I stole from a card at walmart (hehe, no creativity). The inside says: "How else could I have turned out so great?" I know it is a funny card and sometimes you need sentimental, but this time I decided my mom needed a little pick me up, so I made it funny. She's been dealing with sick loved ones for a while now and it gets her down in the dumps, so hopefully this will brighten up her mother's day.

A Mother's Day Hummingbird Card

Hey Everyone! I have had a wonderful weekend. I really enjoyed my rainy scrapbooking weekend. It has done nothing but rain all week here (KY). Anyways, I got around to making this cute and elegant mother's day card. It features a digi stamp freebie from SquiggleFly. I colored it using colored pencils. Then I photo copied what I had colored. and cut out the image again. I layered them on this beautiful tulip patterened paper. I also photo copied some tulips and make them pop with pop dots. The bird's wings are curled slightly out for more of a 3D effect.

I also included a lovely, but short Hummingbird poem on the inside. I thought it fit just perfectly. Below this I will have some sort of lovely verse and phrase about Mother's Day.

A Mother's Day Card

Hello and Happy NSD to all! I am going to share with you a Mother's day card that I made for The Pink Stamper's challenge #4 in honor of NSD. First of all, don't think for a second that I was clever enough to come up with the captions. I saw them on one of Lindsay's cards over at the Frugal Crafter. I just decided to make my own card to give to my mother. The digi stamps are actually coloring pages that I found through google and shrank. You can download them here: Rooster & Hen.

The fancy borders that surround them were made by Paulo who is a member of the SCAL group on Yahoo. To download it, you'll need to register, go to files--SVG files--Frames--Romantic Frame.

The inside of the card has a smaller frame b/c it is actually what was left over from the cut of the front frame. If you'd like the digi stamps that I created for the captions, you can download them here: Rooster Crows & Hen Delivers.

A Funny Mother's Day Card

Well I wanted to make a mother's day card, but not the traditional kind. I wanted something funny and witty. I looked at this little girl forever and searched quotes online until finally as I had given up, this one just popped into my head.

I also used Lindsay's technique of creating your own double sided paper. It turned out quite nice. I really like the effect.
