Today is the day we celebrate and honor those wonderful women who gave birth to us, nurtured us, raised us, and smacked us upside the head when needed.
To say I love my mom is an understatement. She's just the bee's knees. How on earth did I get so lucky? And, how on earth did that saying ever come to be? I mean, bee's knees aren't exactly spectacular things. Heck, I don't even know if they even have knees. But I guess "bee's knees" sounds a whole lot better than, say, "wasp's thoraces" or "ant's antennae".
I digress (as per usual).
I am blessed to have 2 moms. One here, and one in Florida. Florida mom is really my DH Jonathan's mom...but now she's my mom too. So there.
Of course I made their cards.
Here they are.
Florida Mom's Card
(aka Jonathan's mom)
the inside sentiment reads:
Mothers hold their child's hand for a moment, and their heart for a lifetime.
Texas Mom's Card
(aka MY mom)
the inside sentiment reads:
A mom's hug lasts long after she lets go.
I know what you're thinking...O M G...there is no coloring on these.
That's right. I'm sort of anti-coloring at the moment. I'm more into "simple" cards.
I was inspired to make these from cards I've seen on Pinterest...so I can't even claim them as my own design. Though, I did draw and hand-paper piece the second one. The background of the second one was made using my new embossing folder from Elizabeth Craft called "Swirly Curves". I really like it. It looks very organic...like splashing water or falling petals.
For my next post...I'll tempt you with the FaBuLoUs meal that my husband and I made for my mom...complete with recipes. So, be sure to check back! Just look what's on the menu!
