10 Things stamp set from CTMH card


 Hello my friends I hope you all had a great Mother's day weekend,  I know I did.  My family and relatives all got together for a cookout and the men did the cooking and served the women , it was real nice and the food was excellent!

When we got home that afternoon,  I had a little crafting time and so I made a few cards.  One of them I made what I consider a polar bear Tear Bear, from paper I got from the Beary Scrap and made a body, head and paws to fit into a pocket I made with the papers from the Sonoma paper pack from Close to My Heart.  I love the papers I think they are so pretty. purple is becoming my new favorite color.

The stamp set has for one of it's sayings...10 Things I Miss About you, and so I put in the pocket with the bear I made 10 numbered tags for the card giver to write the 10 things on:)

One other thing I wanted to share with you is the corsage I made for my mother in law.  I made it using the Art Philosophy Cartridge  squealllll...I love that cartridge!!!  I used some tulle and glue gun, ribbon and a pin.  She LOVED it. I was thrilled,

Jessica's celebration



Hi crafting friends, I wanted to let you know that Jessica's Craft Shaque is celebrating 400 followers with a lot of fun games and prizes. One of the events is to make a project which was inspired by one of hers and let her know which one it is.  While scrolling her tag projects I saw one that I liked and remembered I had some banner stickers I could use up on my project.

The post I saw that I liked and was inspired by can be found here and the Jessica's celebration is here
thanks for stopping by!!  cathy
