Cardz TV "Mom's the Word" blog hop


Welcome to the Cardz TV "Mom's the Word" blog hop.  You should have arrived here from Jeri's blog.  If you just happened upon my blog today and would like to start at the top of the blog hop then head on over to Cardz TV to begin and learn how you could win 2 Cardz TV stamp sets of your choice.  As you can probably guess by the name of our blog hop, the theme for all of our projects is "Mother's Day".  We have each created a project for you and have used a variety of  Mary's stamps on our projects.  I hope you will be inspired for your mother's day projects and will see how you can  use the Cardz TV stamp sets in a variety of ways.  

I created my card for my mom using 3 different programs, LOL!  I used my Silhouette software to make the  "mom" window frame for the front of the card.  I cut out the word Mom separately and ran it through my Xyron and then coated it with some Martha Stewart fine glitter.  The rolled flower is a Lettering Delights cut and I used scal 3 to cut that out.  The leaves I downloaded from Birds Cards.  Lastly I used my cricut to cut out the sentiment frame from Elegant Edges.  I added 3 adhesive pearls and colored them yellow with my Bic Mark Its so they would match the inside of the card.  I embellished with the butterfly gem which I also colored with Bic Mark Its and added some liquid pearls along the side.  




I have some Blog Candy for you today.  I am giving away this mat stack from K and company along with a Vera Bradley zip up wallet.  My mom collects (slight addiction) Vera Bradley and hands me down some periodically.  Most of them have barely been used or are even brand new.  I have decided to share my stash with one of you guys in honor of mother's day:-)  All you have to do is be a follower of my blog and leave me a comment with a way for me to get ahold of you if you win.  (U.S. shipping addresses only please)



Your next stop in the blog hop is Elaine.  Here is the blog lineup in case you get lost along the way.
