Happy Mother's Day!
I hope by today, my BFF has gotten this in the mail, but here's the card I made for her very first Mother's Day...
I really had to stretch my creativity - I'm not used to coloring such large areas so Sweet Pea Stamps have always intimidated me! But I can't resist pirate images so I had to pick this one up. I must say - it's my first Sweet Pea Stamp and I actually had a good time with it. :)
The sentiment is from C.C. Design's All Women Set by AmyR.
And the rest of the card is made up of scraps and my Kioshi paper pad from Basic Grey. So pretty!
Thanks for visiting today! Here's a pic that my DH took of me and my kids. it's rare that I'm actually in front of the camera these days and it's even rarer for me to take a pic with both kids.
Have a beautiful Mother's Day! :)
Beautiful card for your friend you did a fantastic coloring the image. Thanks for sharing your great picture of you and your children... Happy Mother's Day !!!!

Thnx BFF. I did get it on time! The skulls were a bit off- putting but I kinda like how they were unexpected. And of course, I live the BG kioshi!! Good for you for trying something different. Happy Mother's Day!!
