Hand Prints on Mom's Heart

Children...hand prints on the walls, doors, windows...And right around kindergarden they make those cute handprint pictures at school. They even make turkeys out of their handprints! So, along those lines, I'm thinking those hand prints bring back good memories for a mom. Perfect for Mother's Day!

This card reminds me of those plaster casted handprints the kids would make..


One more....

And here's another...

This handprint stamp and a sweet little footprint stamp, are both on sale for $1.00 each right here! This sale is good through the end of April!

Send your mom a memory!

Watch these teddy bears...they have a surprise in store for you later... Don't blink! You could miss it! Hint: Bears love honey, honey is sugar and sugar is C-A-N-D -Y. Shhhh...don't tell anyone. It's still a secret!

Have a Honey of a Day!

I love this big, bold flower! I used it for the bee to land in. He's getting lots of honey from there! The card came together so easily. I started with that cute background paper and just kept those colors and found a bee and that was that!

The blue flower is on sale for ONE DOLLAR until the end of April! Grab it before the honey bee wanders off with it!

Imagine the Possibilities!

I love this stamp! So many ways to use it. It would be great for the 3D rage that is going on right now. I chose to stamp it in a soft yellow and highlight parts.

This stamp is on sale right now, right HERE! You don't want to miss this one!

Have a Comfy Day!

Don't you just love cuddling up in a big cozy chair? Here's one and it even comes with a kitty! AND pillows too!

I used the stamp twice. Once for the complete image and then again, with just the cat so I could pop dot the kitty on to the corner of the sentiment!

Believe it or not, this Cozy Chair stamp is on sale for the month of April for just $1.00! Right here!

Take Time to Smell the Flowers!

If you are lucky enough to have any flowers yet, with all the snow still wanting to fall on some of us, really appreciate their beauty! My poor little crocus just shriveled in the cold snow! But these flowers stayed beautiful through it all!

These flowers in the water can can be purchased right HERE, right now for just ONE DOLLAR! Amazing, huh? This is a nice sized stamp too. It is about 4 3/4" x 2 1/2". Would be terrific for a Mother's Day card!

The Bear's Butterfly

The price of this stamp IS ferocious! ONE DOLLAR! Yes, it is on the April Sale list and can be bought right HERE!
