Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! We stayed close to home, finishing up some much needed chores and cleaning. Nothing too exciting... However, TODAY will be lots of fun! I am SO excited! Julee and her husband are coming up to see us! Yep!! I know!!! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! I have to tell you, though...I'm secretly hoping that while she's here some of her creativity will rub off on me! Kind of like "mojo osmosis" maybe? 
I promise I'm not going to babble on all morning...heheheee! I do have a card to share with you...
It's been WAY too long since I've sent a card to my mom...so I made this for her. I chose this Hydrangea stamp (from the Penny Black Allegro set) because it reminds me of her (she loves Hydrangeas). Also, I think she will get a kick out of the sentiment (also from the Allegro set)!
I used my Versamagic Dew Drops to ink up the Hydrangea and sentiment and then embossed them with Clear Detail embossing powder. I used my Oval Nestabilities to emboss and cut out the oval and the Labels One Nestabilities for the sentiment. Fore embellishments, I added some Dew Drops, Crochet trim, & just a bit of Diamond Stickles on the flower. Of course, I had to antique the different cardstock layers just a bit (I used Antique Linen ink).
Well, I am off to town to pick up some groceries (I thought that Julee and her DH might want to eat while they're here...LOL!)! I hope you all have a wonderful day!
