It's Week 2 with these GORGEOUS colors and I have chosen to leave this card up for another week as a tribute to my Mom.
I also want to announce that for the first time ever, CR84FN is having an open DT call! If you want to be a part of this FAB group of Designers, check out all of the details HERE!
Here is my card:
This is the last card I made before we moved so still no sewing machine but in retrospect, I am so GLAD I was forced to make all of my cards in advance. I was able to mail this card to my Dear Sweet Mom in the middle of July. She was able to receive it and enjoy it before she passed away two weeks ago. It was still sitting on her fireplace when I got there.

My Wonderful Mom was indeed a fashion plate so this paper was PERFECT for her! I cut this woman out and popped her on the card. Her hands look like they are floating in air! I added the lavendar rhinestone belt and feather in her hat for my POP of color.
The sentiment slides out of the kraft mini envelope and it just says it all! Like I said before, I am so GLAD I made this for my Mom and she was able to enjoy it.
Here's a photo of my Mom at 16:
I Love You and Miss You, Mom.

Sue, I'm so glad you were able to share this beautiful card with your mom before she passed...I didn't start making cards until after I lost my mom but I was working on a cross-stitch piece and wasn't able to finish it to give to her, I wish I had. Your mom was about 6 months younger than mine, what a gorgeous photo of her!
OK, now I'm crying, that was so sweet. Your Mom was stunning and before I read your comment about looking like a movie star -that was exactly what I thought.
I can see where you get your gamorous look from Sue, your Mom was a real beauty.
