Mom's Birthday Card

This is the card I sent to my Mother for her 96th birthday.  I cased it from a card I saw on Pinterest.

Pinterest is my "go to" for ideas.  Look for my board called "Cards I Like" if you are interested.  I have been deleting the pins I've used for inspiration but am thinking of creating a "pins I've used" board or something similar...  What do you think?

Here is mom's card.  It is 6 1/4" x 4 1/2".  I like to make my cards larger than the standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

My Swaps are in the Mail

This is my card for the Savvy Stampers September 2012 Swap. The theme was Fall or Fall/Winter holidays.  Remember when folks used to wear big, fall mums to the football games? Well, that memory was the inspiration for this card.
