Shoe Fettish

I made the card featured in this post for a relative of mine who lives nearby a few weeks ago.  She was sweet enough to have my husband and me over for Easter dinner on very short notice. The meal was delicious and I had a great time hearing stories of her younger years in a different time--she’s a fantastic lady! And she loves shoes. Since she downsized her home and no longer collects tiny decorative shoes, I made her a special card with her favorite color purple to thank her for the wonderful Easter memory created that evening that she had us over.

Beautiful Butterfly

Babies are such a blessing and there is nothing I enjoy more than celebrating a new arrival!  I made this card for a friend’s baby shower last weekend.  I wanted to go with something a bit different from the usual pink color expected for a precious baby girl.  I love butterflies and discovered that my friend does too. I was thrilled to find out that my design fit into the theme of the shower--down to the color purple.  This design incorporates another love of mine--a bit of sparkle--from a few coordinating colors of glitter. I also created a coordinating gift tag for a gift box given to the Mom-to-be.

Stay inspired,

Happy Mother's Day!

There is no person as important as my Mom--the one I always wanted to emulate and the one I always listened to (even when I pretended not to during those challenging teen years).  I count my blessings to have such a wonderful example to follow.  Not only for my Mom who gave birth to me but to my beautiful Mother In Law.  I hope that I can one day be as great a Mother as they have been to me. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms and Moms-to-be out there and enjoy your memories or special time with your own Mom!
Stay inspired,
Sabrina
