Mother's Day Fun Fold

Hello Blogger Friends. Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

Hope your weekend was a great one. We had 6 couples over for dinner yesterday. So, I spent Saturday prepping and Sunday cooking. It was a Mexican food fest and everyone loved what I served. 

My first time making Carnitas. I found a great recipe on Pinterest, and the pork roast cooked up perfectly in my crockpot. It shredded so easily.  I also made a Mexican slaw to go with the pork for tacos. That was another delicious Pinterest recipe. 

I wanted to serve quesadillas as well and again with the help of Pinterest I found a delicious recipe to make them in the oven. I was able to make 7 at a time and then cut them in half. I also had black bean & cheese taquitos but those I bought from Trader Joes. One of the helpful employees recommended them and they were so good. Something I would buy again for sure. 

I had homemade guacamole, a black bean & corn salsa, and a couple of other store-bought salsas. A couple of my friends supplied dessert. We had Tres Leche cake and a cheesecake assortment. It was a great night of conversation and delicious food. We had lots of leftovers so today was no-cook Monday!

Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #998 on Splitcoaststampers. I was the hostess, and I chose boho blue, calypso coral and pecan pie for the color trio. Optional was to use designer paper. 

I used the Stampin' Up "flight & airy" designer paper for my card. It has all the challenge colors. I saw this card on Pinterest and decided to re-create it. I chose a different pattern from the dsp, added enamel dots and stenciled the circle background with clouds.

This above photo shows the card closed. I die cut the "Sending" phrase 3x in boho blue cardstock to give it a bit more depth. The bird images are fussy cut from the designer paper.

This is a view of the card opened. The bird images are fussy cut from the designer paper. I also added 3 calypso coral enamel dots to the z-fold panel.

I stamped my Mother's Day greeting and a leaf branch to complete this card. 

Well, that's it for me for this post so until next time......God bless.
