Creative Card Crew - For Mom Challenge

Creative Card Crew is having a challenge this week with the theme "For Mom".  Please head over to the Creative Card Crew blog and enter your card  here.

The idea for this card came to me when I saw the big flower on a stamp from Whimsie Doodles.  The stamp is called "Go Big".  I just used the flower and not the gnome in the stamp.  The leaves from this flower came from another Whimsie Doodles stamp called "So sweet".  Digital stamps make it so easy to use them in many ways and sizes.  I only used the leaves and not the strawberries from the stamp.  The paper used on this card is from K and Co. called Life's Little Occasions. This stack has some great papers in it!  I also added two little bumble bee buttons.  What are you doing for Mother's Day?  It is almost here.  

Challenges:

Kaboodle Doodles - B's knees (Bee buttons)
Pollycraft - anything goes
Pink Elephant - tpe 99
Craft your passion - anything goes

Masculine Card

Happy May Day Everyone!  The kids are off fishing with Dad so I can clean the house and get some crafting done.  I made a masculine card today with a stamp I got from a friend.  Thanks Christine!  The one thing that I love about making a masculine cards is that they are clean and simple.  Not a lot of flowers and glitter.  :)

Flowers and glitter are fun too but it is nice to try different styles.  This card is perfect for a Father's day card especially for a Dad that loves to go fishing.

Have a great day!
