While my project isn't a traditional Mother's Day card, it is a card inspired by and for my mom! I've had so much fun chatting with her lately about raising kids and am finding out that Amelia is very much like I was at her age. My mom read a funny bit from her baby journal from when I was 7 months old and it said "likes to stand in the crib and scream at night." Oops… sorry, mom! :) Anyway, my mom loves to sew and quilt and I thought this was perfectly inspired by her!
I started off with a piece of ledger patterned paper which I stamped with a stitched heart stamp. I then took several different checked and polka-dot patterned background stamps to create the red squares and punched them out with a scallop punch. I layered some Scrabble piece chipboard letters on top of the little "quilt" squares and then stamped the "always" sentiment underneath. I think she will love it!
Off you go to Ceal's blog! Have a great day and thank you so much for visiting!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting to be a new Mom and talk to your Mom about your baby and she can tell you stories about when you were a baby I love it. Your card is perfect for your Mom and I'm sure she will love it Happy Mother's Day to you!
