Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day everybody! My hubby bought me a nice cup of tea in bed this morning and I was given a lovely bunch of tulips and a little magnetic bookmark that my little boy, Adam made at pre-school. I've then spent the morning at my Mum's this morning out in the garden as the weather is lovely again, but a little cooler than yesterday! My parents are coming round so we can have tea together tonight, so I'd better get the oven on soon! I've been dying to share these with you, they are what I've made for my mum for Mothers Day and now she's got them its safe to post. Knowing that she comes on and reads my blog now, I have to be a bit more careful! I decided to try out the criss-cross card and this was the first one I made. The papers are Basic Grey, Sugared Collection and Doodlebug Tickled Pink cardstock.

I decided that I would have a go at making her a gift this year instead of buying the usual flowers & chocolates. I spent a bit of time over at Splitcoast Stampers looking for Ideas when I came accross the Stationery Box in the Gallery and thought it would be perfect! I've used the same card and paper as I did on her card and also the same Tilda image.

Inside I've made 6 notecards, at the back, 6 matching gift tags and 3 small love notes. There is a little holder for stamps and a small notebook. Here are some instructions if you want to have a go at making one. The lady has also done a video tutorial which is about 20 mins long, but really useful. The box itself was suprisingly easy to make, it was the contents that seemed to take the most time.

I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and Mum likes it too which is the main thing! Hopefully I'll be making a few more of these as gifts now I've done the first one.

Also, just a quick Thank You to everybody who has entered my blog candy and for all the lovely comments I've been receiving. They are all very much appreciated!

Hope you all enjoy the day, and the rest of the weekend!
