Mother's Day 2012

Quick and simple post tonight...baby is up and crying for me...

I saw this saying on Pinterest, and I knew I had to make it for my mother-in-law, because when the family gets together at the in-law's place, the best part is watching all the kids play together and run around their house.


I painted the 8x10 canvas with a light green...I wanted more of a sage, and this turned out more minty than I had intended...  I cut all the letters and shapes with the Cricut - Don Juan for "grammie's house" and Zooballoo for the rest of the quote.  I think the shapes were from Gypsy Wanderings, but don't quote me on that...

Next on my Mother's Day agenda...the cards.  It was the day before, and I was still stumped and could not think of a cute card design.  As I was posting pictures of the wedding gifts for my cousin, I was inspired by the "recipe for love" poem that I included on her gift.  I decided on a recipe card design and included a recipe for mom. 


 I designed the inner part of the card like a recipe card that slides into the outer portion.  All of the cuts from the Cricut were done using the From My Kitchen cartridge, except "Mom" which was from Don Juan.  The stickers were from a Jolee's Boutique pack.

The recipe reads:


Ingredients:
1 cup of intuition
2 ears for listening
A pinch of advice
2 loving arms
3 heaps of support
1 heart with unlimited love

Preparation:
Mix thoroughly with liberal hugs and kisses

They broke the mold when they made you, Mom!
Happy Mother’s Day!
