Mom Thank you for your endless love

My Mother means the world to me and she has always been a great support and friend.  I can't image life without her.  I have a hard time when she is on vacation for a week or two and I feel like I can't contact her.  She lives about two hours away, but she is only a phone call away if I should need most of the time.  She has also been there for my kids who have been in college in her area so I couldn't ask for more.  I made a card using an image from A Day from Daisies and a sentiment from TLC.

HB to the coolest of the cool

I made this card as a monochrome card with the SOTM From the Heart.  We had a start of a beautiful day today and then this afternoon it turned to rain and then light snow and the temp went from in the 50's to 38.  That's WI for you, but to have a temp of in the 50's is amazing.  The sentiment for this card is from TLC.

Fur-ever grateful for you

My Aunt has her Border Collies in competition and she asked to have a card made to give to the judges of the event.  This is what I came up with for her.  I was fortunate to have the talented Miss Rach design the Border Collie, and she draws such incredible animals.  Check out her site because today she even has a FREEBIE. The sentiment is from TLC.
