Woohoo! It is Friday and that makes it...Jon's 17th Birthday! Jon...I love you and I'm so proud of the young man you've turned into!Today's card is another sneak peak of a new release set from Sweet N Sassy stamps. This set is illustrated by Courtney Fowler and is called Easter Blessings. My second favorite flower is the Stargazer Lily and I've yet to figure out how to color one but I'm going to keep trying! There are several sentiments in this set that are perfect for many different occasions. The paper that I used is from the Basic Grey Bittersweet collection. All it took to finish this card was a sentiment and a lovely satin ribbon bow.
Aren't the releases you've seen so far beautiful?! What a wonderful selection you will have tonight...oh, and guess what? The fabulous Korin has some WONDERFUL surprises for you during the release party so make sure you are there!
Alright...have a super Friday! I'll see you tomorrow when I will announce the winner of the blog candy I have up for grabs (see three posts down)! See you then!
My final note for today...if you've been around my blog for long you know that today is also the day my mom died 11 years ago. Such a bittersweet day. So...what should you do today? Hug your kids, call your mom and never forget that there may not be a tomorrow.

love this card, it's clean and elegant!!
Thoughts & prayers are with you when remembering your Mother & also celebrating Jon's birthday.
My Father-in-law passed on our daughter's 10th birthday so I understand the joy & pain this day brings for you. Our daughter is now 18.
How interesting that your flower looks like a Stargazer Lily, that is my daughter's favorite flower!
