Happy Mother's Day!

Aren't I lucky....being Canadian and living in Scotland I get to celebrate Mother's Day twice...one in March and one today!!! It gives my boys a backup if they've forgotten the first one lol.

I love my mom...she's the best. We are great friends and we always have a laugh. I woke to a text message from my sister last Monday saying mom had taken unwell at church and was taken by ambulance to the hospital but was later released. My mom is NEVER ill apart from the odd cold and the usual ailments that comes with age so it was a bit of a shock and being so far away, worrying. I was preparing myself for booking a flight home but thought if I showed up she'd think she was going to pop her clogs which thankfully wasn't the case lol. When I finally got to speak to mom she sounded great and was a relief. She does suffer from an extra couple of heart beats and she'd been doing extra volunteer work (dad has put his foot down and told her she's to put herself first for a change and banned her for the time being lol). Although she had tests recently and got the all clear the hospital want her to go for more. 

My sister took this picture after she brought mom home from the hospital. It was reassuring to see mom looking so well and I hope I look this good when I'm 75!!

I made my mom a card but can't show it to you just yet ;-D But I do have a card I made for Sadie...some of you know she's like a surrogate mom to me. I hope you like it.

I've used Hydrangea digital image from Floral Delight 3. I've coloured it with my Copics and cut it out in a Hexagon Nestie to match my MFT Mini Chicken Wire die. I cut out 2 different pp's and made a pretty pattern for a background. Twine, a button and a bit of glitter finished it off. 

Don't forget we have a new release on Tuesday. The DT have been super busy creating up a storm and there will be lots of prizes so we hope you'll join us on the 13th :-D

I hope you're having a great Mother's Day and being spoiled!

Oops...It's Tuesday - WOW midway reminder

LOL...I don't know about you but when there's a long weekend I get all my days mixed up. I thought today was Monday!!

I hope you have recovered from your chocolate coma and are raring to go. 

I've used the gorgeous Wild Flowers from the Floral Delight 3 collection... I {heart} this image. I wanted the image to be the main focal point and kept it more than simple! I printed Wild Flowers onto a large piece of white card stock, coloured it with my Copics, stamped the sentiment, rounded the bottom corners and stuck it to the front of the card blank with foam pads. I then added Glossy Accents to the ladybugs and glitter to the flowers. 

I carried the Wild Flowers through to the inside without colour.

I haven't seen the wee man since Saturday night and I have missed him terribly but I can't be greedy lol. I got a call earlier today from Nic asking if I could look after Coen for a couple of hours while they gutted their place. Ummm....yes please!!!! I think they'll be here by 3:30 so I'm going to try and make a card before he comes. Just to remind you what he looks like (lol...as if you could forget with all the photos I post!)

He looks sooooo cute and loves my ladybug pillow!

Happy Tuesday and I hope you join in our WOW challenge this week.

This image makes me happy hence the sentiment. My grandpa had an apple tree in in his back yard and we used to go over to his house and pick the apples. They were rosy red, crunchy and oh so sweet. This image reminds me of those happy days munching on the apples from his tree :-D
