"Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.  And everyone deserves a little sunshine."  ~Jeffrey Glassberg

Grab your Stampin' Up supplies and see what kind of sunshine you can make. Please make sure your project includes butterflies.

Winners from our Mother's Day Challenge

What beautiful creations we saw last challenge. So many cards lovingly made to the important women in our lives.

First place goes to Alisha Watson. We loved you rcard. All the details are just beautiful. We wish you the best mother's day with your mum. May God bless you both.

Second place is for Kathy Schweinfurth. We loved your creative use of the new punch from the summer mini catalog. May you be surrounded by people who love you this mother's day. A mother's day without your mother is never easy.

And, Joan Jeffery, we thank you for sharing your beautiful creation with all of the layers and dimension. You have received our 3rd place award for this challenge. May you also, have a blessed and beautiful mother's day.

I am hopeful that all of these April showers (snow and rain) will bring the May flowers that we anticipate to make Mother's Day a beautiful day. The colors of the flowers, the love of our family and the special memories we make all work together.

So, grab your Stampin' Up products and get to work on a Mother's Day card. If you no longer have a mother, make a card for another special woman in your life and thank her for being your friend.
