Mother's Day, Dotties' World and an Easel

Happy Mother's Day to all mum's reading this and especially to my Mum (who probably won't see this post), but who I'll be seeing later.

Last week's challenge on Dottie's World was to create either a bright or pastel card. This card is as pastel as I could get. I used a charmed download (as required) from the sugar and spice collection, which I coloured using my pastel brush markers. The card itself is an easel card suggested to me by my friend Hayley, simply decorated thanks to my friend Jane's suggestion.

Thanks for looking. Take care. Love and hugs, Sarah xoxoxo

Mums & Girlfriends

It's challenge time again on Crafty Muse and this is what Sammi said:

"This time we would like to make something for a mother... yours or someone elses... (It's Mother's Day in the UK on 22 March)

OR

you could make a card for a friend (but it must be for a female) :) "

Here's my card. The wording is from elegant wordart.

Mother's Day Crafting

I've been busy crafting for Mother's Day (bet you hadn't guessed that, had you? LOL). My card for her is already on my blog. I had a K & Co Magnetic Pad Set and decide that I would make it and give to her.My mum is my best friend. When we're together we do loads of things including shopping, playing games, ten-pin bowling, having fun and a laugh, so I decided to make mum a tag book. I cut the pages by hand and used a book-ring to hold it together. To decorate it, I used K & Co Bailey Classic 6 x 6 pad, beige ribbon from my stash, Heidi Grace Cherrywood Lane flowers, E-Z rub-ons, flower metal embellishment, doll's house backgammon set (mum and my favourite game and we usually have 'best of 3') and wooden scrabble tiles (kindly given to me).

David had asked me to make a card for him to give my mum. I used papers from shabbyprincess.com, pale green card stock, a flower from Gardeners Delight on my Xyron Personal Cutting System and a peel-off sentiment.

Mum has a little dog called Daisy and this is their first Mother's Day together. Using my Xyron Personal Cutting System, I made this card from Daisy. I stamped inside using paw print and woof mini stamps.

My Mum

I made this card for Mother's Day and didn't realise until I'd finished it that it fits with Karen's sketch challenge. I must like this sketch LOL I used urban kiwi download papers from shabby princess, and covered the background paper with vellum held on by Dovecraft square neutral brads. I stamped floral images (free with a magazine) using Stazon onto shrink plastic and held in place with Dovecraft round neutral brads. E-Z rub-ons for the sentiments and black satin ribbon from stash.
