Happy Birthday Mom!

Good morning!

This is the birthday card I made for my mom who celebrated her "22nd" birthday yesterday!  hahaha!  I used the exclusive newsletter, Gift Mermaid Anya, from The Greeting Farm and some beautiful new dies I just received in my April La-La Land Crafts club kit!!   Also included are one of my favorite Sizzix embossed backgrounds and a laser cut sentiment from Island Scrapbooking.  I have to admit I had no idea what this would look like in the end, but I'm so happy with the outcome.  Lucky for me I already had the mermaid colored up and using a few Copic markers the flowers were done in no time.  Used Tumbled Glass DI for the backdrop.  Here are a few more pictures from last night...

Dinner at Ai's a Japanese restaurant my parents like to go to

We also got her a mini iPad so now she can face-time with her sisters and friends.  All-in-all a wonderful day to celebrate a wonderful lady.  Okie dokes, sorry to cut this short but I have a lot to do today so I'll stop right here.  Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous Saturday!!

A Birthday Card for Mom

Hello!

May is a busy month of birthdays for me.  The 1st alone has 3 I needed to come up with.  I shared one of the cards the other day and today I'm going to share the one I made for my mom.  This card was a lot of fun to make.  I used a few supplies that I found at Daiso and the rest was from my stash.

I picked the colors from that beautiful strip of fabric tape behind Yoko. The card itself is a bluish-gray washi paper.  Both of these items I found at Daiso.  The strip of white lace was purchased at Marukai and the kanji Happy Birthday stamp is from Crafter's Companion.  I chose Yoko for obvious reasons, but most of all, she is one of my all time favorites.

I really love the colors on Yoko, will definitely use those again.  Ok, time to sign off.  Thanks for stopping by. Have a great 1/2 way to Fri-day!
