Mother's Day Made Easy

So. I have been wanting to make a Mother's Day card, right? But I didn't want to go too overboard. And, even though, I just made 2 on Friday at my SU! Demonstrators house...I just wasn't "feeling" them, the way I had hoped. I guess they weren't personal enough for me. So I really wanted to make another one or two. Here's how my "thinking" process sometimes goes:

I was at JoAnn's looking for some red embossing powder and I found this paper from Die Cuts with a View and thought I just HAD to make a Mother's Day card with it, so that part really worked out. I bought 4 pieces of paper. The DCWAV paper, a Polka Dot paper that matched it perfectly, a textured green paper, and a shimmer pink paper. And, ALL of it on sale. Perfect! I even found a pretty "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment stamp there for 40% off. Then, since I still needed that red embossing powder, I asked my boyfriend to take me to Michael's (which he did, reluctantly), but while I was there I found ribbon that matched perfectly. Woo-hoo!

Here's the result:



and the inside:



I'm giving this one to Eddy to give to his mom since it says "Madre" on it. :)

Happy early Mother's Day to all of you moms out there.
