Mother's Day 2014

Happy Mother's Day!  I made a card for my mom last week so I can mail it out to her.  I used one of my favorite Graphic 45 paper collection:  A Ladies Diary.  The banner tag, doily, and stamped/die cut flower are made from Papertrey Ink. 

I stamped the inside as well and added a border sticker.

I used Sketch#98 from Cardabilities:

Thanks for stopping by!

A Ladies Diary Card

I made a card for a coworker who retired last month.  I wanted to make it extra special for her.  I used Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary paper and stickers to create the easel card:

The stamps are from Papertrey Ink: Simply Jane, Calendar Basics, and Celebrations stamp set and coordinating die.  I also used I Am Roses flowers, added doilies, lace trim, string, pearl flourish, and ivory ribbon.

The sticker tag on the bottom is what holds the easel card up.  I added a little chipboard piece behind it to prop it up.

I made a pocket on the inside of the card to hold a couple of journaling cards for us coworkers to sign.  It will also be a place to put our gift card for her.
