Happy Mother's Day



Hello fabulous blogland!  I've been going through withdrawal from my little crafty blog world addiction, funny how international vacations put a damper on hours of internet surfing and crafting. But, why not come back with a card that works for 4 challenges?  I've made a Mother's Day for my husband, wanted to make a masculine Mother's Day card, as he's the only boy out of 4 kids.  I have used this week's Play Date Cafe colors as my color inspiration and rotated the Skipping Stones Sketch.  I used paper scraps for this week's Make it Monday challenge and the Ribbon Carousel challenge is to use the sentiment Mother's Day in your card, and I've got some fabulous May Arts ribbon on the tag (thanks Jen).


And for those of you who keep asking for more Africa photos... here's a little video I put together from one of the game parks we visited in Botswana.

How clever to rotate the sketch- that tag alone is amazing and as part of the card- the effect is divine!
