Happy Mother's Day to all you moms in the US!
Things been a crazy whirlwind of insanity since I returned from my trip to California! I had a really nice visit with 6 of my siblings, spent some lovely time along the West Coast beaches, and ate like a queen due to my SIL's delicious Vietnamese cooking.
Through my airplane window.
Myself and 6 of my siblings.
Bodega Head beach
Cook your own (I'm cooking tofu and veggies!)
And I now have an official teenager in the house due to my oldest turning 13 on Thursday. *sigh* Do they become obnoxious overnight? Seems like it. *chuckle*
He blew up this balloon from his Grandma!
The above card is for the newest sketch over on the 365 Cards blog. I think it is the most literal I've ever been with a sketch!
I embossed the paisley background (from Cornish Heritage Farms) with white e.p. The flower, leaves, and sentiment are from PTI.
Why not join in on the fun and link up your project using this sketch for inspiration to the 365 Cards Blog?!
And if you need more samples, be sure to check out the rest of the design team:
Thanks for stopping by, hope your Mother's Day is wonderful!
XOXO

6 of your siblings means there are at least 7 of you....so there are more? Holy crap! That's awesome. I always wanted a big family. My mother is 1 of 12. 12. Madness. But the good kind. Anyway. That's a big balloon BTW. And my daughter is obnoxious as all get out. And she's got years to go before she's a teen. Lucky yours waited 'til then, I guess :| I was afraid you made that paisley background yourself. And silly me using patterned paper. That's like...really really cool; great great card.
