Napping with Daisies

Napping with daisies?  Really?

Well, no not really... I am just continuing the theme of "Long Winter's Nap" that I started yesterday, but with images from A Day for Daisies.

If you didn't know, Mother's Day is this Sunday (May 11, 2014).  There is a little time left.

Last Mother's Day was when I first started using A Day for Daisies images.  The images were perfect for something special that tied me to my mom.  You can see this card on this post.

The May release is full of great images appropriate for Mother's Day.

My card uses Mother:

I printed this image on Bristol (smooth) paper and then colored it with Copic markers.  I then embellished the letters and hearts with Stickles glitter glue.  

I made a mask of the image by printing the image on office weight paper and cutting out the fairy.
I used two way glue (repositionable if let dry before sticking it to something else). When it was dry I carefully placed it over my colored fairy and misted the image with a homemade shimmer mist (water, Perfect Pearls--pearl, Distress Ink Re-Inker--peacock feathers).

IMPORTANT: I waited till the image was completely dry before removing the mask.  My printer ink is water soluable and and would smear if I didn't.

There are more beautiful creations to see:

Happy Mother's Day

While growing up reading was an important part of the day.  Trips to the library were at least as regular as trips to the grocery store.

Since I now work in the library, I thought this image was a good one.  The image is from A Day with Daisies.
I have colored the image with our hair colors from yester-year.  (though I dye my hair, I have more grey hair than she does)

The image is colored with Copic Markers and the embossed base uses an embossing folder from Stampin' Up!

I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!
And I appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog!

3 gifts for Grandma

Today, Saturday, my girls and I went to Toledo to have brunch at my mom’s church.  It was a very sweet luncheon, and it was great to see many of the people that surrounded me when I was growing up. 
It was also my mom’s birthday this past week.  So in honor of her birthday and Mother’s Day, we were armed with gifts.  Each of us made a gift.
My 6 yr old decorated a magnetic picture frame:

My 12 year old designed and made this card:
 
And I made a gift using a 7 Gypsies printer tray:

Closer looks (click to make bigger):

The dp is from Bo Bunny—the Sophie Collection.  The accessories and embellishments are MANY (which is why it was so fun for me to make)!!
I also used stamps from Starving Artistamps (Plaque Set and Mini Positive Words) and Rubbernecker Stamp Company (Butterfly Inchies and Silhouette Florals).
Mom seemed to enjoy them!
Thanks Mom, for all you do for us!
Thanks for stopping by!!!  Have a GREAT Mother’s Day!
