Tonight I set out to design and complete my Mother's Day card. Well, I had a few ideas already in my head, the ribbon and colors were all set so I just needed to put it all together. I bought these 8 1/2 x11 inch envelopes in this awesome watermelon color at Marco Papers (love that place!) and that was the inspiration for the card- is that pathetic? I am telling you- the envelopes are so cool though. I used celery for the base of the card, a nice inspirational saying printed on white cardstock and embellished with primas. I had some cute Micheal's ribbon that had little flowers on it similar to the simple flower in Simply Said, in celery, turquoise and rust colors- it all fell together and I love the way it turned out. The picture is cute but it is definately better in real life and I hope when that huge envelope arrives my mother will enjoy it. 
And now I have told my boys that I expect the same from them (wink!). Now ladies, go and make those Mother's Day cards for that special mother of yours!
ps: I would so appreciate some comments or suggestions on what you would like to see on here. Lets me know someone is stopping in. (smile!)
Oh man it's Mother's Day this weekend. I didn't forget as much as I kept putting it off. oops
