A Mother is love

My Mother's birthday is the first week of May so this is a card that I made for her using a sentiment from TLC, Create. Not sure if this will be her Mother's Day card.  The flower from Prima flower came with bling in it so I added bling and pearls in the die cut.

You are just a ray of Sunshine

I finally had a chance to put together some cards.  I had this image colored for quite sometime, it is from Bugaboo, Brat Girl Spring Umbrella Digi Stamp.  The sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I put Glossy Accents on the rain drops and puddle.

with love and blessings on Mother's Day

Today there is this beautiful release of a Friday Freebie at Catch the Bug.  I used this Bugaboo image along with a sentiment from TLC, Create.
I made this card a while back so this sketch is no longer current.  Work has been going well and I enjoy learning challenges.  I have wonderful co-workers and a positive environment.  The problem that I ran into is that the past weekend I had abdominal pain and thought that I was passing a kidney stone.  My best friend and daughter made me go in and be evaluated to find out that it was actually my appendix and I had emergency surgery on Sunday morning.  Luckily I was able to go home Sunday night.  I took off Monday and Tuesday and have been back to work full time since.  I come home exhausted so that's why my comments are short.

Floral Treat Box

It's Monday so at Catch the Bug it's Anything but a Card.  So for my creation, I made a Floral Treat Box.  It is using the new images from Bugaboo the Flower Garden Set.  I put three small hand gels inside that would be a perfect gift.
