A Card A Day Should Make Mom Feel Loved

I recently was at a OWH cardmaking party. During the party a woman shared she makes a card for her mother and father in law everyday and mails them. They don't live close to her and the reason she was doing it everyday was because she didn't know how much longer they would be around.

I thought that was a great idea. I started about 3 weeks ago sending a card a day to my mom. If you have been reading my blog regularly you would know my mom lives in Iowa so I don't see her very often. So I challenge you to send a card a day. It wouldn't need to be to a parent or even the same person everyday. Just think doing what you love to do to brighten someones day.

Here is the card I sent out today. Mom's 75th birthday is Monday so I wanted to be sure she received it in time.

The picture isn't that great. I didn't have my camera handy so I took it with my iPhone. I will try to take better pictures from now on.

If you take the challenge let me know so I can check out your cards.

So long for now.

Thank You Card

Hi everybody,

Thanks for stopping by today.
I have included a card today that I am sending to a new special friend. I hope you enjoy it.

With this picture you can see I used 5 layers of petals. 3 large size and two small sized.

I wanted to show you a close up of the flowers. I used the Cuttle Bug embossing folder Swiss Dots to add some texture to my flowers. If you notice over in the right hand corner of the pattern paper the flowers and leaves have dots so I thought this would be a great way of tying in the paper as well.

So what do you think?

You won't see anything more from me this week I am taking a trip to Canon Beach Conference Center on Friday. I hope it is nice weather that day so I can walk the beach.

Have a great weekend everyone.

OWH: The Chair

Here a cute little card that I am going to send to OWH. I used my Coptic markers to color the image. The background piece of paper is a wallpaper sample I received from a friend to see what I could do with it.
