Mother's Day Activity

My friend asked me to help her come up with an idea for the girls in our ward at church to do for Mother's Day Activity. I made two of each of these books you see pictured.

Here's what I came up with. I made these books using my Cricut Expression. I used the Cricut Design Studio to weld together the letters from 'Opposites Attract' and the rectangles from 'George and Basic Shapes'. Then I cut them out in chipboard, spray painted them, added the letters cut out in cute paper, and finally bound it with my Bind-It-All.

I gave the girls a bunch of embellishments, ribbon, flowers, brads, etc. And they decorated the books and put pictures of themselves in them, and wrote nice notes for their moms. I didn't get to see the books when they were done but I heard that they were really cute and the girls had a great time decorating them.

Happy Mother's Day

Here is my other Mother's day card that I made. This one was for my sweet mom. Again I used my fabulous Cricut and added a flower from Petaloo. (Yes, these are the flowers I am giving away in my blog candy).

Mother's Day Card #1

I didn't post my Mother's Day cards, because I didn't want my moms to see them before Mothers Day.

Here's card #1 - I used my Cricut to cut out the bracket and letters using the Stamped Cartridge, but I modified the 'M's with good old scissors. The paper is DCVW Old World stack, and the flower is petiloo (Who ever wins my blog candy gets some of these cute flowers). I made the tag with my sizzix.

Mother's Day is coming...

Here is the top and front of the exploding box I made for my Mother in Law for Mother's Day. I will post pictures of the inside as soon as I get it finished. The cardstock is Bazzill Basics, as is the flower. The brad is from Making Memories and I made the M with my cricut. The tag is from my sizzix. The jump rings are also from Making Memories. I picked up the paper and ribbon from a great local store named 'Paper Creations'. It's my favorite scrapbook store. I love the owner and they have an amazing selection.
