Finally managed to get back with my second post for today,I was going to do another post but I've combined the two as it's getting later in the day and I've got some things I need to finish this evening.....
This card is for our new challenge over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge,it's my turn to host and I would love to see.....
Celebrate your Mum
Could be for Grandmother/Godmother or any one who's been like a Mum to you.....
(Mother's day in UK 18th March 2012)
We have a gorgeous selection of these ribbons for the winner.....
And believe me they are even more beautiful in real life.....
I've used the cute owl digi from Pink Gem Designs coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers....The papers are from Raspberry Road called Posey and I've inked all the edges....The card and pearls are from my stash...
The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and the flowers are from Mulberry Crafts.....
Little look at the inside.....
Please take a look at the rest of the teams gorgeous cards.....
Now you know I said I was doing something yesterday and would tell you about it today...Well when I started my blog one of the first people I followed was the lovely Lorraine over at Lorraines Loft and she was one of the first people to leave me a comment and I've followed her ever since...I never ever thought I would get to meet her,but yesterday I did we spent some time together in Oxford and I just knew she would be as lovely in person as she is on her blog,and I wasn't wrong...I had such a lovely time so thank you so much Lorraine,I'm looking forward to the next time......
Anyway as I had such a lovely time and was so excited to meet Lorraine,I'm going to spread a bit of my happiness and do a small surprise candy so all you need to do is leave a comment on this post and I'll get my lovely Mum to pick a winner on Saturday.....
See you tomorrow....

Hi Mandy! So glad to hear you got a chance to meet one of your blog buddies! It sounds like you both had a good time. :)
This is such a cute card with the slightly overwhelmed looking mum! I always admire how you lay out the elements on your cards and combine your colors. Everything works together so well! I still need to make a Mother's Day card so thank you for the inspiration!

Hi Mandy, your card is gorgeous as always! It kinda reminds me of, me! I have a girl and a boy and I was almost as big around as I was tall then...lost a little weight since then, hehehe!!! I lost my Mom in July to breast cancer, but I celebrate her every day, she was and still is the best Mom ever!!! Thanks for helping me to remember that, and the chance for the lovely ribbon!
