Happy Mother's Day!

Oh HAPPY Day! Steve has asked me to marry him and I have said "Yes!". My heart is singing! We are planning a December wedding.

Steve had the ring custom made after carefully listening to what I liked.
It's rose-gold and I love the warmth of it.
It is one-of-a-kind; like him.

If only you could smell these roses - they had the most heavenly perfume.

Now - for what you've really come to see - I have actually made a couple of cards! This "birthday" one and another just like it only "sympathy". This almost was "too easy" - because I really let the Close-to-My-Heart Bliss paper stand out and just added a simple banner and button for the finishing touch. I used an ivory chalk ink to soften the edges of the new CTMH kraft cardstock.

Steve has returned to his Northern home and we will begin our "commuter" relationship. That means I will have more time for Yoga and for crafting - once I can clean up the craft room enough to find the work table!

Happy Mother's Day to you - hope your day is lovely!
Hugs!

Your card is awesome, but I really came to see the ring on that lovely manicured hand! Sharli, I am SO very happy for you. I cannot tell you how much.

While I will be glad to be seeing more artwork from you, I am anxious to hear more about Steve, too. How far north is his northern home? Have you set a date? I'm full of questions and again, so very happy for you. What a wonderful time of your life. It's as sweet as that beautiful ring.
