Happy Hump Day - halfway there and the weekend will be here, whoohoo!!! I look forward to it because I don't have to get up and take kiddos to school and Tony is home, lol!! Maybe I have gotten lazy since I retired....I hate to get up early!! But, I do love to stay up and stamp late - heehee! This card is one I did for Cindy aka MotherMark's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Each Tuesday she posts a picture of one of her teapots and we make something inspired from the its design, color, etc. I really enjoy doing this challenge, the gals are hysterical and I LOVE to read Cindy's tales that she weaves each week!! If you haven't ever checked it out, you really should, it's really fun!! And, since Cindy graciously gave me permission, here is a picture of the teapot for this week - isn't it pretty??!! 
I drew my inspiration from the colors, the flowers, and the stripes and went to work!! I decided to make a mom's day card. I used the Eight Great Greetings set from the Occasions mini for my sentiment and image - I just love it, and it's sooooo true!! I swore I never wanted to be like my mom when I was younger, and now I thank God everyday that he allows me the privelege of being like her!! She is a fabulous woman and I love her to death!! I had fun with my Big Shot dies again cutting out all the daisies, it is now my favorite die, I just love it! And, lots of bling because moms deserve it, heehee!! Today is housecleaning day for me and then I am going to get things ready for my big scrapbooking weekend, whoohooo!! I am looking forward to it. And, I get to share my BIG NEWS with you all in just TWO MORE DAYS - I CAN'T WAIT!! Thanks for stopping by!!Card Recipe:
