Sit back and Relax...

Who could forget 'NANNA' on Mother's Day...?
After all, without her, none of us would be here, so I made my nanna a card too. Sadly I didn't get around to making my other nanny a card as well as I only decided to do one today and I wouldn't have enough time to post it to her so maybe I will send her a belated Mother's Day Card or just a card to make her smile and say 'hello'. I'll make her a nice one either way, whatever the occasion.

Feathered Lady

My mum loves anything from Art Deco, to Charleston girls. So I thought I would make this card for her. The stamped image in unknown I'm afraid as I bought it from Ebay and it was unmounted and untitled. But it's fab and I love it. The image is a woman wearing a feathered stole or boa, something like that, or the feathers are attached to her dress, it's hard to tell, but I always cut the image and thread different coloured feathers through where the 'stole' should be. I usually coordinate them with whichever colour I decide to colour the dress. I added a little glitter to the bottom of the dress to add a little 'glamour' and a satin printed ribbon. The printed phrase in the bottom right of the card says: 'Mother. The woman who cradled you as an infant, held your hand as a child, and as an adult, she let you go.'

Happy Mother's Day, Mummy

Sweet Lavender

This is my Mother-in-Law, Gwen's, Mother's Day card. She loves lilac (as does Shaz) and this cute little spray is from Penny Black. Mounted the white paper onto lilac card then onto gray with a snazzy cut edging. Added a lovely lilac satin bow and a little phrase which says: 'To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world". I hope she likes it.

Don't you think it makes all the difference to your photos when you photograph something in direct sunshine rather than with a flash!!! Sunshine...bring it on!
