Her language skills have exploded and we can have a conversation now. I have to pay attention and ask her to repeat sometimes but it's such fun. She just found out my name-well besides Grandma that is. So sometimes she will call me Grandma Mary Marsh and just giggle. I love it!!
Well onto my card for today. Today is my day to post on the Great Impressions Blog as part of the design team. I decided to make another Mother's Day card. I like to send them to my family and friends so I need quite a few.
This one is using the Great Impressions Stamp "heap of love" G317 for my image. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The "Mothers" sentiment is just a portion of the stamp "warmth and love" D388. I thought all the words on the image stamp described a Mother. Don't you think??
My layout is this weeks de-constructed sketch 97. I tweaked it just a tad to make it work with my image. I moved the flag to the top corner and left off the flag embellishment.
My card is a 4 1/2" square. I used Stampin-Up's melon mambo and elegant eggplant cardstock as my card colors. The background designer paper is from Stampin-Up's "sunshine and sprinkles" collection.
The small striped piece is from Colorbok - "eggplant and sage" stripe collection. To complete my card I added some pearls to my scalloped edge.
Well that's it for me for today. So until next time.......God bless. Here is a photo of my sweet granddaughter. She has this 2 wheel bike but it has no pedals. She pushes it with her feet. She had me breathless running after her. She moves it fast.
