Mothers Day Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Mothers Day Blog Hop and my blog! This hop is all about Mother's Day and a challenge to create anything, but no flowers allowed!

If you came from http://www.paperglitterstamps.blogspot.com/ you are in the right place. If you stumbled upon my blog and want to play along, you can do so by starting at http://www.crossmyheartpapercrafts.blogspot.com/

This hop is full of talented ladies and giveaways too.


I made a basket/box for this blog hop! I wanted something unique and elegant that I could use as a container for my Mom on Mothers Day. I saw this idea at one of my local scrapbook stores.  I plan to fill this with a gift card and some goodies from Bath & Body Works. I have the Best Mom in the world! She helps me so much by picking up  my kids from school and she even sends me home with dinner a few times a week!! All while taking care of my Disabled Older Sister. She inspires me everyday to be a Great Mom!



Cartridges used for butterflies were Storybook and Live Simply. Cardstock is from Bazill basics, patterned paper is from Joann's, Ribbon  is from Costco. I embossed the butterflies with the Cuttlebug

I have some CANDY to give away!!!!!


I will be giving away 4 dozen beautiful Prima Paper Roses! I couldent use flowers  for this challenge but I can give them away!
One lucky person who leaves a comment on this post will win these Paper Roses. You must be a follower to win. I will choose someone at random on April 27th. Please check back to see if you are a Winner!

I hope you enjoyed my Mothers Day Project! Thank you for visiting my blog!
