These are the first blooms I have ever gotten on my lilac bush.
I started it several years ago when it was a tiny 8 inch twig. Finally!
Happy Mother's Day!
Yesterday was our 20th annual Mother's Day Lunch. I started having it as a gift to my own mother, all the girls in the family gathered together. This year we welcomed our newest family member to the annual tradition, little Laila. Another 5 generation event - and, yes, we did get a picture.
A few weeks ago, there was a project pictured in the Weekly Scrapper that caught my eye and sent me immediately for a piece of DP so I could try it myself.
I knew I had to make this for my Mother's Day Lunch favors.
I followed the simple directions given at Weekly Scrapper. However, I drew a template to trace and cut since I didn't have the die cut from SU. I used a punch to get the scallops across the bottom of the dress. And I added the little tags, made using the CTMH cricut cartridge and CTMH stamps.
There's a little box in the middle for some goodies (of the chocolate variety, naturally!).

They looked so cute lined up on the piano!

Here's my adorable great granddaughter, Laila, all dressed up for her first Mother's Day Lunch.
She was all smiles for her mama!
Have a wonderful Mother's Day, Ladies!
Gorgeous and creative dress cards. Totally awesome and so cute. Love the pic of your granddaughter. Thanks for playing along with us on Scrap It Girl.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lilacs and the dress cards are just to fabulous. Your creativity is off the chain (OTC) and I need to borrow a bit of it. Thank you for joining us at Mema's Crafts this month. We wish you much luck and hope you will visit and play with us often.
ReplyDeleteDebi, It's a good thing you put Laila's photo last; otherwise none of us would ever get passed those gorgeous dimples to look at your project. Love the leopard skin outfit for her first Mother's Day luncheon. :-D OK, now to the project -- I love those aprons! Great job making your own template for them. I'm definitely going to have to make some of those for a women's luncheon that I have coming up in June. Delightfully clever idea! TFS it.
