Another Mother's Day!

Happy Saturday!

I know, I know....another Mother's Day card!  I do have a few peeps that I give these cards too, not just "my" own Mom.

The Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge this week is to incorporate a household item.

Some participants used paper towels, nail polish, and even a pop-top was used as a buckle (genius!).


I wracked my brain and went on the hunt for something to use, and then decided to use staples to hold down my twine.

I added the embossing, flowers, and gold-pearls to finish it off.

I am also entering this creation for the April Verve Diva Dare to win $100 in Verve products, how cool!  The challenge is to use a butterfly or flower focal point.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Beautiful Mother's Day cards you have here! I think I better get busy on mine. And giving to other Mom's not just your own is a wonderful idea!
