Mother's Day 2012

Hi Everyone! Wow I am using the new blogger interface so it all seems brand new to me and I am not the best person for technical change lol.  Hope all you moms had a GREAT Mother's Day, I know I sure did.  I am finally posting the card I made for my two mothers.  I LOVE doilys so used them for the cards this year:

I have had this lovely rosebud paper from Paper Pizazz for a long time.  It is just beautiful and looks sweet with the doilies.  The Pink doily is from Cricut Cartridge-Mother's Day 2010.  The butterfly is from K&Company, my own sky blue seam binding ribbon, Agean Blue versamagic ink, some pearls rhinestones, my own verse in the Kiera font, and there you have it.   I am entering this in the following challenges:

Cricut Card Ch #107 - There's no other, like my mother

More Than Favors Wacky Wed #70 - Mothers

Use it Tuesday Ch#31 - all About Mom
