Mother's Day is fast approaching
















Mother's Day is the one holiday that always seems to get away from me.  I'm not sure if it's because all the kids' spring activities are starting up and I'm just getting into the groove with them.  Or it's because I sudddenly have a ton more things to do around the house, more specifically in the yard.  But I'd say more often than not, I'm scrambling to get cards made and sent. 

But not this year!  I was determined to get ahead of the curve and by gosh, I've done it!  This is for my mom who love purple.  Simple, but effective I think.  Taking a note from Nichole's book I added a strip of ScorTape and dusted it with glitter.  Subtle but bling-y.  Toss in a few pearls and rhinestones and voila!  A card fit for any mom. 

PTI stamps and ink.  Bazzill bling cardstock and SU Top Note die and glitter. 

I even bought stamps today so I'm going to address this and clip it to my calendar so I'm sure to mail it.  :-)
