A Mother's Love Endures


Hearts, flowers, and polka dots!

I was very inspired by the inspiration photo
and cards by the design team this week over at


Here is the inspiration photo...

Truly, a Mother's love endures, doesn't it?  Mom and
I have had disagreements and hurt feelings, but love
does endure!  I certainly feel the same way about
my son!  I tell him no matter what that I will
always love him.:-) 

Anyways, I thought this was the perfect card for my Mom
for Mother's Day.  Wow, it's next weekend already.  Time
just flies by.  So, I got out my quilting needle and thread, which
I haven't used in ages.  I stamped the muslin fabric 
with a lovely rose image.  Batting was inserted before quilting a heart in the center.  I stitched the entire heart to the beautiful Prima paper. The aida cloth was stamped with a tiny rose along the edges.  The sentiment was stamped on mulsin.  And, if you look close, you can see that  I stiched three little x's.  Pins, flowers, leaves, twine, and seam binding was placed to finish off the card. 
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!  Thank you for visiting today!  Take care, hugs!!:-))
