Last of our Moms Inspiration at the CBB

Even though we should celebrate our moms everyday of the year today will be the last of the inspiration for MOMs at the Cuttlebug Blog.
I chose to do this layout which I plan on putting in a frame for my mom to hang on her wall.

I used Design Studio to weld the "mom" together using Opposites Attract (letters, love, hearts on top) then Home Decor (swirly at the bottom), George (misc hearts)

Close up of the printed paisley paper (so cute... however I don't know who makes it... sorry)

These flowers were Nanne Harry's design. I found a download over at her place and I totally scraplifted it! Thanx Nanne!

She used Home Accents and welded (in DS) to make the flowers. The leaves are also from her download!

So here is the full recipe:

Cuttlebug embossing folder: Textile

Cricut Cartridges: Home Accents(flowers- welded in DS, Download courtesy of Nanne Harry- Thanx Nanne!) Home Decor, Opposites Attract, George (used DS to weld mom and accents from these carts)

Paper: Bazzill canvas (background), Bazzill basic (purple, tan, green), not sure where the pattern paper came from???? sorry!

Ink: color box (flowers)

Martha Stewart punch

 

Enjoy your monday everyone!

This weeks Cuttlebug blog Inspiration

I tied the magnets loosly and some peanut m-n-ms with ribbon... {{who knew peanut m-n-ms are alot of moms favorite}} I thought it turned out to be a cute and inexpensive gift.

The board was bought at Lowes and is 5.5 X 24. I cut the background paper slightly bigger than the board.
