Mom's are the glue...

I FINALLY got my first set of stamps from Emma at My Creative Time and before I even had them I was full of ideas for how to use them. I got the "Mom You Rock" set, so I will be working on lots of Mother's Day cards in the near future. This is the first one that I just HAD to make last night, 'cause I couldn't wait!!! I am also entering this in the challenge over at the Creative Cutter Room, to show what I feel lucky to have in my life right now - and I feel so lucky (or blessed!) to be the mom of my two wonderful children, and to have my own mom be a part of our lives!!!

The card base came from Wild Card (another often forgotten cartridge for me!), and the rest of the cuts came from Simply Charmed. I hid the face on the notebook paper and the glue, and added a Peachy Keen face to my glue bottle. Did lots of inking and doodling, pop-dotted the glue bottle, and added a Baker's Twine bow along the side. The sentiment is for course from my new set, and the picture doesn't show it very well, but I put Glossy Accents on the glue, the little red part of the bottle, and the eyes on the Peachy face.



Love note

Had a CRAZY day today, so when I got home, I decided to spend a few minutes making a card for the weeks Cricut Circle Challenge that ends tonight! It was supposed to be a love note, include Cuttlebug embossing, and at least 2 Cricut cuts. I also thought I would add it to the new monthly challenge on the Unity Blog as well.

So...I cut the card base from Wild Card (a sadly neglected cartridge as of late!), cut the center from Preserves and used the Cuttlebug on it, and cut the word "love" from Home Decor with some Glossy Accents over it. The black hearts I hand cut after stamping in white with one of my grab bag Unity Stamps. I pop-dotted 2 of those when I stuck them down (the second picture shows that a little better). Added a bunch of faux stitching, some Baker's Twine, a couple of tiny Prima flowers, and some stick on pearls.
