{5.6.2011} hello friends…
Happy Friday!
I think I say that every Friday, but I really mean it! I love that I get to start my weekend with Unity and my Unity Friends.
I must pat myself on the back this year… I did good. Ha. I had my Mother’s Day cards done last weekend! Woo hoo, go me! I don’t get it. I make cards all the time, so how can I always be so unprepared for birthdays and holidays??? But not this time! I was ahead of the game. Yay.
This one is for my dear mother-in-law.
{psst – hey mom, I know you are looking. You better stay away on Sunday!} ha.
And it is actually already in the mail and on its way to Florida!
Yay!
a mother’s love
wishes and kisses
I have had these two kits on my wish list for a long time. I squealed a little when they arrived (ok, so I might have clapped my hands and jumped up and down too). They have such lovely images and wonderful sentiments. I embossed the paisley background with clear embossing powder on some textured pink card stock. It looks so much better in real life, I will admit defeat in trying to photograph embossed images. *sigh*
Have a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend. I’ll be back Saturday and Sunday {hint, hint MOM… don’t peek!} with more Unity inspiration! Lots to share this weekend!
Hope back over to the Unity Friends with Flair post to check out all the beautiful projects.
