Baby shower cards

I hope everyone had a great week! It's been busy, but a good one. The weather has been absolutely beautiful!

I made some cards for a co-worker's baby shower we had. I made two because I couldn't decide what to do. I wasn't too sure what exactly I should make for a shower, so I just went with what I thought was cute! That's what I usually do - even if it's not always what would be proper etiquette or however you say it, I go with the cutsie stuff or what I like. Sometimes my tastes are different! But that's okay - God made us all unique : )

Happy Mother's Day a wee bit late!

I had a beautiful mother's day!! We had the best time ever. My husband and our two kiddos went to Barren Lake and scouted out three campgrounds. We played, we ate and we had the best time ever. The lake was soo peaceful and one of the greatest parts was watching the squirrels and the chipmunks. They were EVERYWHERE and they really weren't too afraid of us. They were fun! I love spending time with my family and it was great to be outdoors - especially by a lake! You know that saying that goes something like, "you remind me of your mom" or something along those lines... I know there's a few others out there.... well, I hope I do remind people of my mom. I am more like her every day and wouldn't change it. I

The only thing that would have made this Mother's day better would be if we could have spent the day with our mom's. My mom lives WAY far away - somewhere near 2,400 miles away and because of the distance, we weren't together. But I thought of her all day, as I do every single day and I am so honored to be her daughter. Mama, if you read this - I LOVE YOU and I miss you!!!! There's distance, but I am so blessed that I am able to pick up the phone and hear her voice whenever we want to. My husband's mom, my mother-in-law passed away almost 4 years ago. Her birthday was Saturday and we used to celebrate her birthday and mother's day together with my son's birthday which was Friday. We always had a cookout with the whole family and there's not a day that goes by we don't miss her. She was the best mother-in-law a person could ask for and we were so very blessed to have had her all the time we did. WHEW, before I can't stop the tears, here's my card I made for my mom. She loves house mouse and so I made her a house mouse mother's day card. It's not a typical "mother's day" card, but it was made just for her. I hope you guys like it!!

My first card I made was so very simple. I wanted it to be simple in style and quick to make. That's why I chose the stamps I did. They were from two kits of the month - August and March. You can view them here, and here.


flower and sentiment stamped on Beckett Expression Radiance cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Patterned paper by The paper studio. Ribbon was received in a ribbon exchange. Lyra pencils, gamsol & stickles.

My next card is just a fun card. My family loves to camp and when I saw the little camper stamp from the August kotm, I knew I had to have it! I also used the rainbow/cloud stamp from the March kotm. I cut off the rainbow after I stamped it so I could have only the cloud. The "saying" is also from the August kotm. You can view the kits here, and here.

images were stamped on Beckett Expression Radiance cardstock. The Base of the card is Bazzill. Patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket, Mr. Campy collection; and COLORBOK. Image colored with lyra pencils & gamsol.
