My last post was a card for my Dad's birthday, and this one is the card I made for my Mom's. It suits her to a T. Her favourite colour is green (check) and her favourite season is spring (check). I had it all made but I glued the image layer down crooked and when I peeled it up, it ripped. To make matters worse, it was an image I had been given a long time ago to practice on - only one I had. So I headed down to the new Scrapbook store in town to buy that same stamp, which was old and (of course) not in stock. I bought another stamp (also very cute) by the same company and brought it home to find it was a little bigger than my brown layer. I didn't want to redo the brown layer, and possibly tear the background paper, and I didn't want to go back to the store. It's only been open a week and I've been there 4 times ~ they know me by name *yikes*. So finally a little lightbulb came on and I had a look around
Di's Digi Downloads and of course I found the perfect image (plus 4 others).
The sentiment is from a set of stamps I won from the
JustWordz All About Babies Blog Hop. I can't wait to play with them some more. There are 69 stamps on the
JustWordz Everyday Sentiments set that I received, words and parts of words that you piece together to make up your own phrases. Cool, huh?

Cardstock: Paper Trey Ink, Bazzill, Copic XpressItPP: 3 Bugs in a Rug Savannah
Stamps: Just Words Everyday Sentiments (Happy Birthday)
Ink: VersaMagic Jumbo Java, Copics
Punch: EK Success
Ribbon: Offray
Other: Button, gemstones (unknown) , white poster paint Sharpie, Ranger Glossy Accents, Mermaid Stickles, and Frosted Lace Stickles
