Celebrate Your Mum at Crafty Ribbons

Good morning folks i hope you are all well and still enjoying the mild weather i wonder how long its going to last lol.

Anyway its time for a new challenge over at Crafty Ribbons and the theme is Celebrate your Mum Could be for Grandmother/Godmother any one who's been like a Mum to you and just so you know (Mother's day in UK 18th March 2012) best get my finger out then lol. I actually gave my Mum this card for her birthday and that's also why i've been a bad blogger again, you see we went to visit Mum and when we got there she looked bloody awful and in so much pain we am really worried as she has so many illnesses she is 75yrs and she has been sitting there not taking her pain relief until its unbearable and she's not been taking some of her other medication so i've sorted out all of her pills and things for her and by brother has arranged to have here medication delivered in packs for each day, we are going to try to get her to come to ours for a few days to give my brother a break as they live in Sussex and we live in Essex and i cant drive that far so have to rely on hubby Terry to drive me, so at the mo i'm going to be a bit hit and miss with my posts depending on what's happening,i must admit since seeing her i've not done any crafting at all but i'm going to try to do some today as i have some images already coloured.

Anyway back to the challenge its just as well i make my cards in advance well most of the time lol and as i said the theme is Celebrate your Mum Could be for Grandmother/Godmother any one who's been like a Mum to you.

For my card i've used another of the gorgeous Darcy's Dairies images this ones called Swinging Blues the papers are Bearly Mine Small dots and Crafts and Me Floral Fantasy the butterfly is again a Memory Box die the ribbon of course is from Crafty Ribbons HERE and there are lots of yummy new ribbons in stock too so pop over and have a peep.
