[HQCB #27 elements: Mother's Day= mother, Mother's Day 2023 and for heart/love= "with lots of love and prayers", amber/gold heart shaped gem]

I decided to use this wood ornament to develop my ideas for my mom's Mother's Day card. I've not called my mom a mother hen except maybe once or twice in my life! :) I've been very blessed with my momma! She's a retired registered nurse but a supreme caring nurturer extraordinaire! Always had cookies in the cookie jar during childhood and teen years! Always had a pitcher of Kool-Aid ready for us! Always made sure we sat down and ate together for all our meals! Most made from scratch or with help of mixes or boxes. Always ready to bandage the boo-boos. Always ready to listen. And the list goes on. She's still going at 83+!!! Love you, mom!

Most of the card elements are from a CTMH card kit (gifted by a wonderful crafter friend) and I added some others to make it more of my own design. (printed base, 2 butterflies, the little light pink tab, the label frame die-cut are kit components)

[theme #26 Easter + heart/love elements= wood chicks, happy Easter sentiment with different lettering/die-cut AND typed/sideways heart shape tile stickers for <3]

Happy <3 (heart) Easter! I tried to give a bit of springtime crossed with barn/chicken coop look with 2 different barn siding papers and the washi tape grass pattern.

[theme #26 elements: for Easter= bunny die-cut and the word bunny in the sentiment; AND for heart/love = 'loves' is in the sentiment]

Willa Jean's crafted a very sweet spring season Easter greeting card! Her focal is a cut-apart card which she's inked the edges and added glitter pen to the bunny's cheeks and some of the flowers. "Little Bunny Foo-Foo hopping through the forest..." has popped into my thoughts! How about you?

Precious!

[theme #26 requirements: small pink heart is on the train engine AND rabbits, carrots, sentiment "happy easter"]

Did we say 'die-cuts'?!?!?!! Diane's spent several hours getting all the different colors and pieces cut for this 4 part Easter train and then another 2 hours or so to assemble and adhere all the pieces! Spectacular! Such a loving keepsake display card for Easter weekend!
