Monday Theme Challenge: Mother's Day

So very excited to be a part of the Design Team for Pieces of Ali n' Me Challenges! I am on Team Monday. This weeks theme is Mother's Day. I made 2 cards for today's challenge. Basically they are the same just used different colors and card bases. For both I used my Slice with my Vintage Findings card. I cut multiple images in different colors. For the purple card I used a frosted plastic for the base, the inner part of the card is just white cardstock with glimmer mist on it

For the yellow card I used acetate for the base so you can see everything a little better.

Mother's day scrapbook

So I do NOT scrapbook. For me it just seems to take FOREVER. I like the instant gratification of cards and other papercrafts. Well 5 years ago I made a scrappbook for my mom with the intent of updating it every year. HAHA I finally updated it for my mom this year. When I saw the old pages I had done all I could say was "WOW I sure liked stickers" lol. Here are 6 out the 7 of the pages from this year. (the picture of Amanda's layout accidentally got deleted)

Mother's day cards

I created a few Mother's Day cards this year. This is one I made for my boss to give to his wife. I got the inspiration from a card Cheryl made in a class. I stamped the Happy Mother's day in pink, flowers are primas, velvet rickrack, and (you cant tell in the picture) glitter brads for the middle of the flowers.

This card I taught to some of the ladies at church. It was complicated to them but they turned out so nice. I LOVE transparency cards. I got this idea from Angela Sgro. She is one very talented lady! I also made her Hawaiian shirt card as a Father's day card. (I'll post a picture of it later). For this card the flower is on the outside held on with a flower brad and the dot paper is under the front cover being held on by green brads from the outside. I then put a piece of striped paper on the back.
