a very special card to share with you. This is the card I made for this challenge but more importantly I wanted to send my Mom a hug! She only lives about 1/4 of a mile away and we see each other almost every day. I know, I am blessed in that alone. But there's never enough ways to say I love you or give a hug to someone so special. My Mom has been there for me so many times when she needed a hug herself. When I was diagnosed with this eye disease and told I couldn't drive any more, she also became my driver. It's a full time job "driving Miss Vicki"! Never once has she complained or said she couldn't help. I owe her so much more than a card full of hugs can say.She loves vintage things and when I found this vintage post card, I immediately thought of her. I made four copies of the card and proceeded to cut up the image to make the 3 D layers. Each layer is adhered with glue dots. I mounted the layers onto card stock which I had faux woodgrained in green ink. Then I added the border which was punched with a Fiskars border punch. I then adhered all this to a kraft card base. The card is very sturdy and can be displayed as a picture. As I had hoped, she loves it!
I use the phrase Bountiful Blessings every day and I truly have many. But none so precious as the blessings I receive from my Mama. I love you, Mama!
I hope you enjoyed your visit today and you will take the time to send a hug to someone special to you. It is one of the little things we do that means the world to someone who needs it!
Blessings to you,
Vicki
Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!!! TFS

ReplyDeleteOh Vicki what a great post for today! Unfortunately I am sooo far away from my mommy who lives in Hawaii but I talk to her quite often. I make a phone call every morning to the house to speak with my family back home. I aboslutely love this card, the details on it are just beautiful. I agree with your last statement, I read on a blog that she calls it "Day Makers" when you do something that makes someone day. ;)
