Mom.. You're Fabulous!

 

Happy Friday everyone!!  Yay, it's the start of another weekend.  Really need it as it was a pretty rough week at work.  Today at the FFC blog we have a new challenge for you and I think you're gonna love it.  It's all about Moms for this challenge.  We are asking you to go wild with this challenge and make something special for that special lady in your life.  Use your imagination and go for it!  If you want to see some beautiful projects from the DT click HERE, you really won't be dissappointed, I guarantee it. :)

For my share I was looking through some blogs and I found this awesome easel card that was made into a post it holder on the fabulous Nady's blog.  Nady and I met at CHA this winter and we found each other through blogland.  I have been keeping up with her fantastic blog and hope you all get a chance to check it out.  She has a lot of fun projects and this was just one of the ones I was eager to try.  Merci Nady for the inspiration!  I hope you like what I made.

I wanted to make this easel/post it holder for my Mama's desk at work.  She's not a fussy kind of gal, and loves to be comfortable with her jeans and tennis shoes.  She is an avid Laker's fan, and loves to read.  She is definitely the rock of our family and we think she's just fabulous.  Here is the front view of the card:

I altered two TGF stamps, can you guess which two?  If you guessed Harlow from the Creepin Kit & Mama Anya from the Mom & Dad set you would be correct!  I also used the new Splotchy background stamp behind Anya and on the sentiment.  This cool new background stamp will be available on May 1st along with all the other new releases.  You MUST check out the TGF blog for all the previews and a chance to win the new releases.   You might recognize the other floral stamp, that is an older TGF (when it was Pink Poison) stamp set.  The flourishes are from Sizzix and I decorated them with a pearl pen.

Here is the card unfolded showing off the box with some fun post its already inside:

I used a black Sharpie to write MOM on the decorative pins and also hand wrote the sentiment.  Lastly here is a side view of the card closed:

This card measures a whopping 6" x 5 3/4"!  I hope she has room on her desk for it.  I'm going to have to find a box for this card! LOL!!

Alrighty, it's now time for you to get the juices flowing and get creating!  Here are the deets for every FFF challenge which can also be found on the FFC blog:
