Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you are all having a lovely Mother's Day and being spoilt or spoiling your own mum. I saw my mum yesterday and also my lil nephew who is very cute and still very dinky xxx

My lovely friend Tams asked me to make her some Mother's Day cards as she has recently had an op on her back and hasn't been able to make anything herself. I was very flattered to be asked but then had a minor heart attack when she asked for 7 cards!!! After calming down I had a trawl of my stash and started to plan some possible cards using different images and colours so I could provide a selection of cards. This is what I came up with...



The next 2 cards are a bit different from my usual style, no images...

I sent another card also to make up the 7 but this is one I had made previously and just added a sentiment. I hope Tams liked them, she said she did but I am always nervous when making cards for others and even more so when the recipient crafts herself!!!

Supplies:
Images - Magnolia & hAnglar & stAnglar candy win from the lovely Mandy x coloured with Promarkers; LOTV cute squares
Papers - Hopscotch by Basic Grey; Pixie by Memory Box; Back to Basics II by Dovecraft; Craftwork Cards
Sentiments - Girly Curly by Pink Petticoat; Craftwork Cards
Card candy - Craftwork Cards
Flowers - Flat are Primas; Crafty Emma's Store; Wild Orchid Crafts & candy win from the lovely Bev x
Pearls - The Hobby House
Buttons - stash
Ribbons and lace - stash
Tools - various Nestabilities, Martha Stewart Zig Zag punch

    OMG---7 cards! How wonderful. A great reason to craft! These are all fantabulous!! Each unique in their own way. I'm partial to Tilda, but the hAnglars are a close second and the other cards are simply WONDERFUL!!
