Keep Calm and Call Mom!

This year I'm sending the Mother's Day cards to my kids!

These ATC's are from my "Off my desk" series.

The backgrounds are from papers on my desk that I use to wipe up excel paint.

The middle card is from a card made for me by my SIL Diana.

Knowing two would be sent off to my boys I kept glitter and gold at a minimum.

The fab stamps are from the new Quietfire Design sets

Keep Calm and Call Mom

It's well know that i am pet deprived, so when Suzanne sent the Pawprint flip card digital file, I flipped!!!

And how about that butterfly frame. The one on the right I sketched first, then cut.

I'll have a post up with some 15 Minute Wonders like the butterfly spray card in the rear.

Must fly, and I'll do my best to visit as many dear deskers as I can this week.

WOYWW April 2-The Before Story- No fooling!

WOYWW

Dear Deskers, even as I love you as love itself, I can't show you the new stamps until tomorrow, so above you see the back of my lovely herb window card and many of the stamps that went into it and some other sneaky peaks if you know where to look.
I'm quite pleased with the project, so please hop over to Quietfire Creations tomorrow(Thursday) for the whole story and back here for the back story!

Above you see the before story. Y'all know these projects don't make or plan themselves and here is much of what went into the planning, piecing and printing (I love alliteration!) including- and who else could I share this with, the panel left front where I printed the wrong herb!!!

Thanks ever so for visiting and following(legal tender on the web) and I do promise all the details tomorrow.
