Happy Mother's Day!

Inside reads:

For anyone attempting to take
Your precious, unreplaceable place.
No one will ever be able to take your place -
Or come close to filling your shoes.

Not everyday was a great day -
But in everything, good you tried hard to find.
You stood up for what you believed -
And you always fought for those you loved
And of you I think the world of.

You are my hero -
The person I respect
And love the most.

You always went above and beyond
And always tried to make others happy
And with this poem of honor
Given with love to you
I hope I in return can give
You some of the happiness
You have brought me.

You were always strong -
Even in times of great difficulty
A woman of pride, strength, and dignity.
You are my hero, Mom, and I think the world of you.

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Digistamps for Joy! Come celebrate with us and show us your mothers day creations!

New Release Sunday!

Today its New Release Sunday and "Melissa" is one of the wonderful new images this week! Check out the rest of the design team inspiration cards with the new releases and also see the other wonderful new releases at DS4J!

This week I wanted to feature the card I made for the design team I am on with Digistamps4Joy. Not only is this beautiful image named "Melissa" a new release this week at DS4J created by the fabulous talented artist Jen Leeflang, but the ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel referred to me by a good crafty friend named Regina Hardy.  The scalloped corners at the top left and bottom right were cut using my Sure Cuts A Lot software on my Cricut Expression machine. The coloring of this beautiful image I give credit to Suzanne Dean at Color Me Creative Classroom for helping me learn to use my Copic markers in a way that creates such remarkable looking hair and coloring! I finished Class 1 and starting Class 2, already amazed at the results I am getting from the classes!
