Hi all, thank you so much for visiting and leaving comments on my previous posts, your continued support and friendship is very much appreciated especially as I am not around very much at the moment.
The good news is my mum is now out of hospital but she has lost so much weight, she looks so small and frail, her 97th birthday is in November so I decided to make her an early birthday gift.
I used a large MDF Teapot base from Dreamees, I covered it with paper also from the Dreamees, I sanded around the edges then used TH Vintage Photo ink to distress the edges, I added a doily and some more Dreamees paper. The flowers are all stamped, embossed and cut out, they are a mixture of flowers from the Dreamees range of stamps.
Two varieties I stamped onto the same papers as I used on the base of the Teapot, the others I stamped onto gold vellum, I added a bow, hat pins, pearls, and die cut heart and Mum, also die cut leaves.
I then decided to add a couple of my older Magnolia images one I have paper pieced the other I coloured with markers, I also added some stickles to the leaves.
Considering I am not crafting very much at the moment I was pleased with the outcome of my project and mum can hang it on her wall.
I would like to enter my project into the following challenges:
See you soon

A lovely gift for your lovely Mum, Lorraine.I'm sure she'll be delighted with this, and it will look wonderful hanging on her wall. So pleased that she is home now, no one enjoys being in hospital and I think it's particularly difficult for the elderly, they just want to be at home with their own things and their Families around them.
Hope you're looking after yourself too!

Its gorgeous Lorraine and I am sure your Mum will love it. Great news she is out of hospital and I am sure she won't be long picking up again with your tender loving care.
Ninety Seven! Wow! Isn't that something! You should be VERY delighted with this amazing creation - such cuteness and a beautiful design!
do we feel we have not done "good enough" in a design, when we are not in the crafting mood? do you think everyone might feel that way?
I had not considered the thought until you verbalized it in your post - it's eye-opening, and I think, it will be very helpful for me when I go through my not-very-crafty periods.
Happy Early Birthday to your mom!

Lorraine what a beautiful card for your mum. I bet she loves it, you are so talented. I cant believe it 97. the hardest bit when they are older is that each cold or bug takes so much out of them. Cuddle her tight 97 years is such a feat. Love to you both xxAileen
Absolutely beautiful Lorraine a fabulous idea for your Mum as a keepskake.
