mojo 78/ Oh Baby!

Hi everyone I am sorry that I was so long posting this week, but a week I have had. I started researching my family and was on the hurt for my great grandparents, I have been to Newfoundland and England. I was excited and happy to find my relatives, it is interesting to see were you came from, if just one single people in your family was not there you would not be here. So my card is about new beginnings (a new baby). Life starts with one small unique person and life goes from there. Friends of mine are having a new baby, so I wanted a card that would reflect new beginning, not only life but a new season. So happy spring and I hope that you enjoy this new season and new beginning. The poem inside reads "This little tiny baby was sent from God above, to fill our hearts with happiness, and touch our lives with love, he must have known we'd give our all and always do our best to give our precious baby love, and be grateful and so blessed. " So is true with each passing season, life is precious and we are grateful for what God has giving us. So here is the ingredients that I used, card stock by Core'dination, DSP by imaginisce Fairest of them all Royal Procession, rub-ons by Sandylion Baby, ink is so saffron, stamp set is Insppired by Nature,and the ribbon is white taffeta all from SU, the butterflies are punches out using Martha Stewart's butterfly punch. I hope that you enjoy looking :)

MOJO76/"Mother"

Happy Mojo Monday everyone:) Is this not the best challenge yet, I am so excited that there will be more then just one winner. Good luck to everyone!!
This is my entry. I have been reading a lot of poems lately and I recently came across this lovely little poem by Edgar Allen Poe and I fell in love with it, It says so much and just a few words, there is none so devotional as that of a "Mother" to quote the last line of the poem. Our lives are so busy that we only stop to think about our mothers and what she did for us so seldom. I try to call my mom at least once a week, just to see how her week was, that is the least that I can do for her because she gave so much and is still giving. So this card is for her my greatest supporter and fan my mom. All the card stock is by Core' dinations Retro Mod Squad, the DSP is from K&Company the Brenda Walton Collection, the sentiment is printed off the Internet that I printed on velum, the ribbon I got from my mother-in -law, the pearls are from Hero Arts and the swirl are punched out using my swirl flourish punch by EK success. To all the mother out there I say thank you for just being you, you give the greatest gift that one single person can give"LOVE".
