Blessed Mother

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the moms out there!  My Mother's Day was spent with my four girls.  My husband cooked me a lovely breakfast of eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage, and toast.  It was yummy!  Then the girls and I went out to meet my mom and aunt for some shopping and the two middle girls swim lessons.  After that we went back to my mom's and exchanged gifts between the three of us moms.  My girls had made many homemade gifts this year and they seemed to be greatly appreciated. 

This card was made for my Mother-in-Law.  She is heading in for a serious surgery this Thursday, and I wanted to make her something nice to let her know how much we love her and appreciate all she does for us.  When Taryn was a baby (she's now 5), my MIL and FIL would drive 1.5 hours at 5am every Monday morning and watch Taryn for me until Tuesday evening so she didn't have to go into daycare for 5 days a week.  It was so sweet.  She takes all of my girls for weekends of fun and lots of spoiling, which gives Brian and I the much needed time alone that we wouldn't normally get.

So, please say a prayer for her surgery on Thursday, that it goes well and gives us many years to come with this wonderful woman.

And about the card.......I CASE'd this card here from Amanda Quintilio.  I changed all the colors and the Big Shot folder, but other than that, kept it very close to this card.  It's amazing how beautiful a card can look and you only stamp once.  I LOVE MY BIG SHOT!!

I hope you like it!
