Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps blog hop!

Our theme this month is Mother's Day or honoring any special lady in your life.

As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry. One random commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from the FTHS store. And additionally, one commenter on the From the Heart Stamps blog will be selected to win a $15 gift voucher to the store!

If you have arrived from Imke's Crafting Creations, you are in the right place.  If not, why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.

For my card, I chose a birdbrain gifting flowers -- it could be a symbol of my childhood with all the wildflower bouquets (we won't go into the 'birdbrain' aspect of the image ;) ).

The inside sentiment is a quote I just found today:

“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.”
— Cardinal Mermillod

Now head over to Jo Edward's and admire her creation!

 

Challenges entered include:

1)  Tuesday Morning Sketches #298

2)  The Challenge #32:  Polka dots on both the flowers and one of the flags!

3)  Pile it On #66:  use a pattern in at least two different ways (see polka dot comment above!)

 

Thanks for hopping with us today. The hop will end on  Monday May, 4th at 6 am EST. Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday, May 6th.
