Winner Day!!! And Mothers Day revisited

What a fantastic Mothers Day I had yesterday. There really is nothing better than those handmade creations from you little artists. The love they have shines through and I wanted to share with you all my little "haul".

Our sweetheart son is 6 years old and loves to create, so when I received breakfast in bed, he was beyond excited to give me his gifts. I definitely did the happy cry and this little boy knows how to make that happen a whole LOT!!!And our little ray of sunshine sweetpie daughter made beaded necklaces for mommy. She was so super proud that she did them all by her self. So here is my little Mothers Day smile fest for all of you.

Mothers Day is one of my absolute favorite days of the year. Being a mom is a blessing and there is nothing better than being told how much you are loved.

And then we all went on a family honeymoon to Las Vegas! I loveeeeeeee your card! GORGEOUS colors! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Queen for a Day and news to share

Hello Everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. My husband and I went on an impromptu trip stateside for a short getaway. Always nice to spend some quality time with each other. I also received some great news this weekend as well. Frances at Hearts in Touch has offered me a design team position and I am just thrilled to the max to accept. Hearts in Touch has some absolutely beautiful stamps and a bunch of new silhouette series plates that are to die for. Make sure you go on over and take a look at the Hearts in Touch blog too. The prices are wonderful and Frances is as sweet as they come.


Today I put together a few challenges for this card. Firstly it is this weeks Card Patterns challenge and I combined it with StampTV's color challenge White, Black and 1 other color. I chose a deep Merlot and It looks pretty regal to me.

I've had these links of pearls for a while now and this is the first time I've been inspired to use them. I figured that if it's fit for a queen, it better have jewels and pearls right? Although I changed the sketch up a wee bit, you can still see the elements of the design. For the image at the top of the card, I sponged 2 different colors to the Heidi Swapp damask stamp then cut it out with the nesties. purdy ain't she?

Well that is all for today. I hope you all really enjoyed this one. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think and how you are enjoying my blog or any tips. I'm always open for suggestions.
