Easel Mother's Day

Good Morning Bloggers!

Happy Mother's Day to all those mom's out there and to all those moms who are no longer with us!

I'm back with another challenge and another card for you, today!  Today starts a new  challenge over at Catch The Bug!  Today's challenge is Anything Goes, so you can enter anything you've created! . What did you create for your mom for Mother's Day? We'd love to see it! We'd love to see anything and everything you've created! Remember, anything goes! Come on over to Catch The Bug and link up your fabulous projects and show them off! You have a whole week to enter, so if you havent created anything today, you still have time to play along with us! You could be one of our random winners and snatch up some awesome digi images from wonderful artist Jodie Mackrell, creator of Bugaboo Stamps!

My mother is no longer with me, but it is still a day to remember her.  Today's card is a Mother's Day card.  My card uses the image, Heel Accessories, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I just love easel cards! It's considered a fancy fold card, but is so easy to make!  This one is exceptionally easy, as its all one piece of cardstock, with multiple score lines.  This card folds flat and is easily mailed, so no special envelope is needed.  I have kept this card simple. I've only used pearls and ribbon, to embellish.  The pink ribbon is tied into a handmade bow. The sentiment is Hand Stamped and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches, by Stampin Up.

What a fun way to renew that creative energy, don't you think? Bounce on over to Catch The Bug to see all the Oldie But Goodie inspiration, this week!

Since Mother's Day is this weekend, I just had to go with another Mother's Day card.  Of course, I no longer have my mother with me, except in memories, but this card is in tribute to her. I love you, mom! I wanted to do a fancy fold, so I went with my old favorite, an easel card. My card uses the image oval roses, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The glittered paper is a scrap from my stash. I used gemstones to embellish. The sheer maroon ribbon, also from my stash, is tied into a handmade bow. the sentiment is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

Snow Us Your Favorite Holiday Treat

Welcome to Holiday Chaos Day # 5 at Catch The Bug! I hope you have been playing along with us, every day! You haven't?! Oh not, well, then get busy because you still have time to link up projects in the daily challenges! There are tons of awesome prizes to be had, as well as guest designer spots - So get busy link and creating!

Our Holiday Chaos theme, today, is to Show Us Your Favorite Holiday Treat, and create a project based on the recipe provided in today's post at Catch The Bug.  Be sure you run over and check it out to choose your favorite holiday treat from the list - Then create your project and link up to win!

Today is also Oldie But Goodie Thursday at Catch The Bug, so I'm using an older Bugaboo Stamps image to create my project today.

My favorite treat from our treat list, today, is Spiked Eggnog. For this treat, we've asked for projects using this recipe: Border Punch, Polka Dots, Glitter + Item of Choice - (Gemstones). I've used the image, Christmas Bear - Side Ornament, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. This card is made completely of scraps from my stash! Can you beleive it?!  I did an easel card, since I haven't made one in awhile. I just love fancy fold cards, don't you? I used a fancy border punch from Martha Stewart across the bottom of the card in two places.  The green polka dot sheer ribbon bow is handmade by me. I used three green gemstones down the top right corner.  The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 you and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches. I added glitter and sparkle to the fur on the hat on the teddy bear image.
