Mother's Day Card & Spring Fling Challenge!

Oh boy, has it ever been a Monday!! Today we woke up to a 4yr old with a fever and sore throat (no, it's not the swine flu ; ) and a 2 yr old who drank a 1/4 bottle of children's Motrin that mom forgot to put away. I asked him if he drank it. He said no. I called poison control anyway. Apparently its not enough to worry about, which I find reliving, but also odd. I mean it was 1/4 a bottle! Anyway. Next week is Mother's Day so I am getting moving on my gifts this week. Today's challenge at 365 Cards is a Mother's Day card, which was the perfect way to get started. I used some spring inspiration from Lisa at Poppy Paperie. Here is my card:

I used some Bitty Dot Paper and Heart Prints stamp set to make a big flower. I curled up the ends to help with the illusion of a flower. Added a PTI button threaded with a strip of leftover polka dot paper and Voila!

Here is the inside. I used the Mother's Day Set which says just about everything you would want for your mother. This card will be going to my mother in law. I have a little gift I am going to make up too, but I have to run out the door right now. I hope to post it later this week. She actually showed me my first Paper Crafts Magazine, so I owe this woman a lot. I have to remind Patrick that its his mother's fault that all his money is spent on crafts ; ) She is a wonderful loving mother and grandmother and I am so blessed to have her in my life. Happy Mother's Day to her!

have a great monday!!
