Diaper Cake

I made one!!! I made a Diaper Cake!! I love it! It took a decent amount of time, but I love looking at it:) My cousin, Katie, is having a baby, so we're having her shower in June. When I finished her diaper cake I realized that I was NOT using her baby shower colors...lame. So, I'm going to have to make another one. Oh well:)

Mother's Day Gifts

Here's one of the gifts that I gave to my mother for Mother's Day. I CASED it from Brenda Miller, a talented stamper.

A new friend in Colorado wanted a Mother's Day card using pictures of she and her mother, so this is what I came up with. The card cover is Jill Hilliard's design. Here is my own mother's card:

I hope all you moms out there had a great day!

Here's a Stampin Up gift card I made for a very special friend on her birthday!
