Mother's Day Watercolor Colab with Maaike

 Hello and Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's out there!  Moms are superheros in my book.  They don't get a day off, work tirelessly, love compassionately, and always have to be prepared for battle.  Thinking of my own Mom and how she managed to raise 4 kids mostly by herself as my Dad was in the Navy and away on deployment most of the time, it's astounding how she didn't implode.  I totally own up to the fact that I wasn't easy to raise.  I didn't get into real trouble much, but I pushed her patience as far as I could far too often.  With this card, I wanted to do something she would love.  My Mom loves everything I make, and always has, but as we get older and each year passes, I become more aware of the fragility of life and how I wont have her forever.  Things are an inadequate way to express how much someone means to you, but sometimes it's the best/ only way you have.  Handmade items are special because you take the time to create it, usually with someone specific in mind.  So I went back to my roots with this card.  My mom indulged my creative interests from a young age, taught me about Jesus, how to cook, bake, paint, draw, sew, garden and otherwise be courageous and unafraid to try new things.  She is and always will be my hero.  I love you, Mom.

Here is the link to the video tutorial on my YouTube channel and my supplies are listed and linked below.  Maaike and I teamed up to do a collaboration for Mothers Day and you can find her video here.

Each stop on the hop has a prize to giveaway and to enter to win a prize, all you have to do is comment on each video.   The hop will run 4/28/18 to 5/5/18, so you have one week to enter.  My prize is limited to the United States; sorry but international shipping is so costly as I'm sure you're aware, and it all comes out of my pocket.  See you on the hop!

Foiled Acetate Shakers with No Stamping

 Foil, rainbows, shakers and EASY.  Versatile too.  Deco Foil recently came out with clear acetate Toner Sheets.  These are 8.5x11 inch clear acetate sheets printed with various designs and ready to run through your laminator with heat transfer foil.  So much fun.   I cut a sheet of the Splatter print down to 4.25x5.5, giving me 4 panels, and used a different foil on each one.  I couldn't wait to play with these and they are so cool.  The green/rainbow one would be perfect for a boy and you could change the sentiment to anything you wanted.  If you didn't have a right die cut, you could stamp and cut a banner shape to attach instead.  I think my Marty will be getting that one.  He's 10 and loves interactive cards.  Here is the link to my video tutorial and supplies are listed below.
