Good morning friends! Is everyone's week going well? It has been sunny here the last couple of days so I have been in a great mood!As I sat down to make a card for my Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps post day (I'm posting this card here and on the SNSS blog) I knew I needed one more Mother's Day card so that is what I set out to make. I started with the sketch from Carly's Sketch Challenge blog HERE, added the Lilac's for Cocoa image and came up with what, I think, is a lovely card. The patterned paper is retired SU! and I colored my image with Copic markers. It will be just perfect for the mom I'm sending this card too. My mom has been gone for 13 years now but I always send a card to Todd's mom, my former MIL, and this year to another special friend of ours.
I've gotta tell you that while I still miss my mom everyday I have been very blessed to have women in my life to guide me as a mom, friend, child of God, and wife. A big thanks to my Mom June. She has stood by me through thick and thin over the last 11+ years and I know that I can ALWAYS count on her!
How is your Mother's Day card/gift making coming?

Very pretty card!!
So pretty! I must get to stamping my cards too...last minute lizzie!
So pretty! Great job!
This is a beautiful card. I love lilacs. It helps that I grew up on Lilac St :)
Someday when we are in our final home I will have to plant lilacs.
This is beautiful. My mom loves Lilacs (me not so much as they make me sneeze). They are a beautiful flower though. Hope you enjoy Mother's Day even though your mom is gone now. I know she's with you in spirit and that she helped make you the special woman that you are today. God Bless
This is so pretty, Lorie! Have a super Mother's Day!
