Let's Hear it for Mom!

Card design ©Sharon M. Reinhart May 2011

With Mother's day right around the corner I thought I would share one more card for those of you who are looking for inspiration. This card also has a bonus, it is fairly quick to create but at the same time shows that you put a little of your love into it. The focal image is an inchie stamp from Inkadinkado which has been stamped with chestnut roan chalk ink -- one of my favorite colors. For more info on inchies check out my most recent newsletter at CardMaker Magazine. Then add a little accent with stickles glitter glue. The frame was created with Spellbinder's labels one die set. I believe the ribbon is May Arts. The word mom is generated from a Magnetic Poetry stamp set. Stampers often bypass this set as on first look it resembles a kids set however I have used this word set over and over, I love that the words are framed. I rarely use the magnetic block but truly love all of the possibilities with the words. Now for the little found treasure, the little blossom, check out the hair tie section in your dollar stores, there are some wonderful little embellishments to be found. This one was on a hair elastic. Hope you all enjoy Mother's Day tomorrow, I know I will be spending time with our Moms and then I get to spend time with our two daughters - the gift of time is precious!
Onto a different subject, just a few minutes after my post yesterday. Guess what! My book arrived at my front door. Yipee! I love it and I hope you will as well. The team at DRG/CardMaker are the best team to work with. Big thanks to Tanya Fox and the many people that worked on this publication!  Also a big thanks to Spellbinder's for their generous product support - it is truly appreciated! Well, that's it for this post, must get back to work so that I can truly enjoy Mother's Day tomorrow.
Creatively Yours,
Sharon
