Oh Mother Earth!!

Hiya & Happy Wednesday & Happy Earth Day too!! I'm feeling a bit better today--my spring allergies are just in high gear right now! I wish my sinuses liked spring as much as I do, hee hee--nothing like a sinus migraine to bring ya down! Thanks for all the well wishes though! Busy day today--projects to finish, birthday presents to buy, vet visit for both of my pups & then taking my daughter to get her hair cut after school. Hopefully the weather cooperates so I don't have to run around in the rain--hate that! Doin' anything special for Earth Day? I'm counting my new veggie garden & 10 new trees we ordered as my contribution this week!! So I've made a flowery card to celebrate the day...

Well, Mother's Day is coming around the corner real soon so I thought I'd work on some fun ideas & projects to get your mojo, mojo-in!! My poor hubby gets slammed this time of year cuz' its our daughters birthday on Saturday (13--eekkkk), my birthday on May 3rd & then Mother's Day the following week, LOL! This year I'll be in Vegas for my birthday so he's kinda off the hook, hee hee! Anyhow....



My project today uses one of my favorite Magnolia's "Tilda w/ Lilacs" & the coordinating "Lilac" stamp available HERE at Magnolia-licious! My flowers today are not lilacs okay--I wanted to make them yellow & that's the beauty of being the creator, hee hee! :o) I based my project which is a Mother's Day card & matching bookmark-- around this yummy dp by Daisy D's--so cheery & bright and paired it with both PTI & Coredinations cs. I got the idea for the bookmark from my friend (and DT sistah) Aud, when she had made one for a challenge a bit ago & I just adored it! Stop by her blog to see her fabulous designs & her take on the bookmark--she's going to do a tutorial on it soon on the Follow Your Heart blog!

I colored Tilda w/ Copics and then added Flower Soft & stickles to the image--I used 2 colors of yellow Flower Soft (lemon & sunshine yellow). The sentiment is from PTI's "Mother" set. I used my favorite Swiss Dots CB folder to emboss my cs--wish CB would come out with some new embossing folders soon!

And here is the fun bookmark--it slips right over your page in your book! Such a fun & pretty gift to give. I know I'll be making lots of these--my son already requested a "boy" one!! This set is for sale on my Etsy shop for anyone interested (on sidebar).

Hope you enjoyed these projects today & I'll see ya back here tomorrow! Have a great Wednesday!

hugz,
