m.o.m.

Happy Friday, all!

I have a mother's day card to share with you today:

When you pull back the zipper, it says "I am grateful for you."

Or something like that.

I forget exactly.

hee hee.

I used a zipper die-cut panel (that the super-sweet Cara sent me, since I don't have the die myself), and stamped the small flower from "pretty peonies" in versamark ink.  I then die-cut the bird (a Memory Box die) above the zipper line.  The word M-O-M (from Paper Smooches' "Pretty Momma" set) fit perfectly onto the zipper.

I felt like the card needed a little something extra, but I didn't want to cover up any of the pretty peonies, so I created a vellum flag to hang in the corner.  I used my crop-a-dile to punch 2 holes and tied a soft bow with some white yarn before wrapping it around my striped patterned paper.

I hope you like it as much as I do!


ps, our final kid-party is this Saturday (I've almost survived party season!)  Thank goodness Maia is too small to have friends, so we'll just be inviting our families to eat milk & cookies.  I hope to share some yummy pictures with you on Monday!
