I've been crafting this evening for Mothers Day having only just realised that I need to post my Mother-in-laws card tomorrow!! honestly.... head like a sieve!
So just to put more pressure on me I decided to use this weeks Retro Sketches for MIL's card and I'm just getting it in under the wire!!!
This card really uses up quite a few scraps, including the other half of that gingham tablecloth!, and came together quite quickly.... I love the two teacups for a Mothers Day card, we usually visit the local garden centre for a browse and a drink in the restaurant when Mum comes up to visit us so I thought it was perfect for her :0)
My Mums card is inspired by the Clean and Simple sketch this week and these fabulous digi sentiments from Pink Petticoat
Love that paper, its from 5&dime by October Afternoon..... reminds me so much of the linen you would find in our old airing cupboard :0)
Decided to make a top layer with a band for the buttons and even managed to sew relatively straight lines with my machine!!!
Super CAS but I love it that way :0)
Right..... really need to go and get some sleep, it'll be dark glasses for me tomorrow... Lol
See ya'round and thanks for looking :0)
