Fast Card Friday

Mother's Day Card

Mother's Day is this weekend. I hope you'll be spending it will people you love. Here's a little something that I whipped up. The longest part of making this card is making the flower. You could speed that up by using Paper Daisy Accents flowers from Stampin' Up!

Supplies:

Basic Black Card Stock

Whisper White Card Stock

Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper

Basic Black ink

Beautiful Wings Embosslit

Top Note Die

White Ribbon

Curly Label Punch

Decorative Label Punch 

1 3/4 scallop Circle Punch

2 3/4 Scallop Circle Punch

Large Pearl Basic Jewels

sentiment stamps

adhesives

This is a basic easel card in a Top Note Die shape. When you run the base of the card through the Big Shot using the Top Note Die you will need to:

• Cut black paper 5 1/2 x 11
• Fold @ 5 1/2
• Place fold slightly below the top cutting edge of the die so that the fold will stay intact after cutting.
• Cut another piece of black with the top note die - this is the front
• Cut a piece of Berry Blossoms Designer Paper with the Top Note Die
• Trim the designer paper around the edge, cutting along the "stitched" edge of the paper
• From this point on build your card.

Take a moment to get out your supplies and make something special today. 

Family Scrapbook Page Swap: Janice's Pages

Saturday Scrappin' 

I promised to show you the pages that my family created for our family scrapbook page swap that I discussed in this post: Family Scrapbook Page Swap Post. I was in CA last week making lots of memories and we swapped our pages.

Here are my pages.
 2010 was a BUSY year with my college graduation AND my daughter's wedding. Thank goodness they were 6 months apart! Here's my 2 page spread.

The two page spread. Just a bit of our year.

Then came 2011. Six months after my daughter got married, my son graduated college AND commissioned in the Air Force ... on the same day! That's my Dad giving my son his first salute. 

Loads of stuff happened in 2011, some good, some not so good. I feel it's important to remember both to help keep life in perspective.
