Unexpected card...

This card sort of just happened little by little...

Earlier in the day, I took a piece of cardstock, tore some tissue paper up and glued it down with Mod Podge (love that stuff!). Did about four layers of tissue paper. Set it aside and didn't think about it the rest of the day.

I remembered a challenge on one of my stamp groups -- you had to use Alcohol Inks (AIs).

So I put the "Cabin Cupboard" colors on my applicator and quickly rubbed it right over the tissue paper. Love it! It's still glossy but shows the wrinkles of the tissue paper pieces. Reminds me of aged leather.

Giraffe is a new-to-me stamp set from SU!

Make-up Mother's Day...

Since hubby and I were in England/France for a 16 day vacation without our daughter, and we were away on the actual day of Mother's Day, we (he) said we would celebrate it on the Sunday after our return.

Well... life got busy and sweet hubby had a memory slip, so he promised we would celebrate today. And we did.

I got to sleep in -- and actually woke up at 8:30am only to think I would lie there a minute longer only to roll over again at almost 10am! I hadn't been able to sleep past 7ish since we've returned, so this was sweet!

I stroll down a bit after 10am to be given kisses and hugs by both. Hubby had breakfast goodies for me.

And I got these beautiful flowers and the best card. Life... is... great...
