As soon as I saw this darling image by Sarah Jane at Sj’s Little Musings, I knew this was the image for the mother’s day card for my Mom. Obviously, I am well past the age of actually sitting in my mommy’s lap cuddling, but hopefully this card gives her warm fuzzy feelings inside. This card and the next are both 5.5-inch square easel cards. I really like how the style of the card allows for displaying the card.

You might recognize this next card as I posted it not that long ago without a sentiment for part of my design team call entry. At the time, I said I didn’t know what sentiment I wanted to use, but that was a little white lie. I had this card in mind for mother-in-law for mother’s day the entire time I was making the card.

I first found out about Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps a few weeks ago through Free Digital Stamps. Shortly thereafter, I found out about their design team call. For a week, I agonized over if I should try for it or not. In the end, I decided I might as well try.

To enter, you are supposed to make a card with an image Roberta provided. I decided to print out a number of the image in different sizes (one of the best things about digital stamps) and color them and then decide on a card. I ended up making two.

The first card uses Mojo Monday Sketch 134. I was especially inspired by Janette Olen’s take on the sketch. I decided the A2 card was pretty enough by itself and opted not to included a sentiment on the front.

Mojo Card

Stamps: Prairie Fairy DT Fairy
Cardstock: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Cameo Coral
Designer Paper: Stampin’ Up Pink Flamingo
Ink: Dell printer
Accessories: Stickles Gold; gold ribbon; yellow glitter brad
Tools: colored pencils; Stampin’ Up Blush Blossom, Cameo Coral (along punched flower edges) markers; EK Success flower punch

The second one is an 5.5-inch square easel card. I will add the sentiment on the flat part of the easel when I decide who to give the card.

The image also would be perfect with some of my pictures of Jessica at the Wildflower Center, but I haven’t scrapped it yet.
