You will be pleased to know that I have broken into a brand new pack of papers!!! The time seemed right, and I tried to keep the cards similar while being different ...
My Mum's card:
and my Mother in Law's card (she is very particular that it isn't Mother's Day but Mothering Sunday, and on this day you just can't argue with her!):
Both cards are made using "Hampstead" papers and embellishments, and both feature birds! I didn't have the right size card blanks, so made my own, but my cream card was a little thin, so I also decorated the inside of the cards, mainly to strengthen up the card but I think it really added a little special touch ...
I had a lovely Mother's Day too. I received some lovely gifts and cards, and although Alex was working all day, I got to spend some time with my Mum. We visited a garden centre and came home and planted the new plants, and my lovely hubby cooked the roast dinner all on his own!

Lovely cards, Love the Mother's Day one and the Mothering Sunday one!! Happy Mothering Monday to you from a happy Grandmothering person!
ReplyDeleteThanks Val!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least my MIL's insistence on calling the day by its old fashioned name means that it is easy to differentiate between my two cards!!!
