Celebrate the women in your life and their impact on you.
They don't even have to be a mother! Your sister, your best friend, a neighbor...an aunt or grandmother, or co-worker..! Any woman who helps get you thru the day or you turn to for advice, that's who you can celebrate! .
And in that spirit, this card was born.
As soon as I saw the Occasions Mini I knew I wanted this set. I was holding off a bit, other things were a priority, but I finally got it!! And this phrase is perfect for a dear friend of mine, who definitely deserves all the recognition she can get for her role as a mother. Motherhood makes strong women of us all, but I often think she is much stronger than me, because of the trials she and her children have been given.
This week, I thought the Mojo Monday sketch would be a fun way to put it to use and get it sent out! So that's what I did! There is nothing "mother's day-ish" about this card. In fact, it would be great for a guy! (And I definitely have a thing about nautical Father's Day cards...) but not this time. I cut the "never made" out of a second stamped image and layered it with Dimensionals. I added one silver button, from the sold out Artisan Embellishment kit, mostly to follow the sketch, haha. But I am very happy with how this card turned out!
Stamps: Adventure Awaits

Since I'm sure I piqued your interest, you can see a chapter of my friend's story HERE, when her local news station recently recognized her. We grew up together, and she was even my Maid of Honor. I always hope that cards in the mail brighten her days.
What is retiring from today's project?
- Coastal Cabana card stock

Great card and excellent message!
