hope my mom doesn’t mind … but i’m sharing her card with you!

Happy_mothers_day_card

this was basically scraps from the last layout i did. and i got 3 mother’s day cards out of it. the other cards had a rubon sentiment … but i liked the look of these tiny letter stickers better. i’m a big fan of using the metal rims on their own … but for some reason i found this scrap piece of hambly screenprint and thought it would be cool. not so cool to punch the circle out … but i figured it out. lol! and the thread … i’m in love with the thread lately. i have this huge jar full of it … and i might as well start leaving it out on my island because i’m always digging in it!

as for my day. i’m not feeling good. which stinks. as soon as i posted late last night … i started feeling sick. as in tummy-sick. which didn’t surprise me … because i had a daycare kid get sick her last week. i love that they share so nicely with me! was up for a few hours … and finally managed to get some sleep. i was semi-ok this morning … but by lunchtime wasn’t feeling good again. i took a good nap … while the girls watched tv and wondered when i would get up to make them lunch. lol! i could hear them the entire time … you’d think they can’t fend for themselves. lol! i did get out to finish up some yardwork … and have some laundry going. fun stuff, right? joe’s awake now though … so he’s taking care of dinner … not that i’m really that hungry. and got some yummy chocolates and some starbucks giftcards … and some fun new scrapbook stuff that i can’t wait to play with. so i’m just going to take it easy the rest of the night … and hopefully, i’ll be feeling back to normal by the morning.

hope you all had a nice mother’s day!

    I’m sorry you’re not feeling well! Hope you feel OK tomorrow. Hope you took advantage of getting some rest…
    Gorgeous card laura! Love pink and greeen! That floss looks almost like the MS baker’s twine.
    I made my mother’s day cards in January and left my mother-in-law’s card on my counter and went to dinner with no card!

    I am still sick too…sinus infection and the wind here isn’t helping it much. But I just napped on and off all day so it wasn’t too bad. Hope you have a great week.

    Hope you’re feeling better really soon. We’ve had that tummy thing in our house recently. Thankfully, it is short-lived! So, your card is great, and you said you made THREE. Do you have a spare to give to MY mom? I got her two Cricut carts, but I am SO NOT a card maker, and I didn’t even buy her a card, and she LOVES cards. I won’t even see her til this Sat., so belated is not an issue! JK, I can probably find one at WalMart for 50%-off by now! LOL
