This week’s MDUC was set by the lovely Debbie and the theme is *Thinking of You*. Make sure you go check out the DT cards this week…there are some really awesome designs :)
This was the last of the cards I made before I left Sydney, while I was trying to get ahead just in case :) It was a hard one, only because there are so many options for this theme….anyway, this is what I came up with:
I love this citrus-y combination of So Saffron, Kiwi Kiss and Tangerine Tango. The wide striped Saffron grosgrain from one of the ribbon originals packs went perfectly with this one. I also used some of the brand new flower brads from SU! These little brads are actually really heavy and I think you’d need extra postage on this card. The Magnolia image was one of the RAK’s that I received from Kristy.
My Mama is such a bad influence on me…this morning before she went to work I was showing her some of the new Magnolias that are available and before I knew it I had ordered a bunch of new stamps! Some of them are pre-order though and I won’t get them til next month. I also bought a bunch of accessories for the girls…chairs and suitcases…lots of cute things for the sitting ones to perch on!
For all the mothers out there….I hope you have a lovely Mother’s Day and get very, very spoilt :) I made my Mama a lovely card which I will show you tomorrow and bought her some nice Kaiser storage things for her new craft room makeover, which starts later this week. I have been making lots of cards in advance, as the craft room is sure to be completely disorganised for a few days! I can’t wait for the end result though…Mama is going to have the loveliest room and it will be hard getting her out of there! I’m going to set up a blog for her too…I don’t know if she will be posting on there herself or if she’ll make me do it…LOL! But at least she’ll have somewhere to show off all her lovely creations. I’ll give you a link as soon as it’s finished.
I hope you’ll all go over to the MDUC blog and play along with this week’s challenge :)

Great colour combo. Very fresh. Nice colouring on the image too.
Wow, you actually USED that really wide ribbon! LOL! I have used it in place of a strip of card stock, but other than that, I struggle with it. Nice job!
Ooooh, a Craft Room makeover, and a Mom Blog! How fun! Looking forward to all of it!
Finally... an idea on how to use that ribbon! ANd those colors together are wonderful!
Mom's gonna love blogging!
Hugs,
Another Kristie cutie-patooty card. I love how you used the ribbon across the bottom and the filigree brads that are so pretty I still have not opened mine :)
Kristie, I love the ribbon on your card! It's the perfect way to showcase the sentiment on the card! Your coloring is awesome.
I think it's wonderful that you're setting your mom up with a craft room and a blog!
I read on Leslie's blog that you are savung a puupy.
I think that's just great ! Can't wait to see pics.
