Beauty Abounds for Mom

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend and a happy St. Patrick's Day. We had a good one here, as my mom and dad came down for a quick visit. This is the first time I've been able to see my dad since his health scare last fall and it was SO good to see him doing so well. His new knee works like a charm and his health has improved tremendously. I am so thankful for the chance to enjoy a meal with them.

This week's featured product is the Beauty Abounds bundle from the Occasions Catalogue...

I have to say, this set of dies is incredible! Such detailed images and TWENTY dies in the set! Now, today's card uses only the stamp set, which is fabulous in itself...check out this beauty:

If you've been following me for a while you likely know that I LOVE texture stamps and this set has several. My favourites are the bokeh dot images which create cool bubble-like effects. On this card I used both bokeh images as well as the spatter stamp to create a unique background.  I'll be demonstrating this card, along with two others in my Tuesday Live @ Five video tomorrow on my Facebook page. In the meantime, here's a close-up of the focal image...

I absolutely love the texture and depth those stamps create! The sentiment on this one is from the Strong and Beautiful stamp set, which is fast-becoming a favourite of mine. So many wonderful inspiring sentiments to choose from in that set! I used another one of them on the inside of this card...

I so love this sentiment because it applies to just about every woman I know in one way or another. I am so blessed to have amazingly strong women in my life and this sentiment is one I will use over and over again.

I hope you'll join me live tomorrow afternoon, but if you can't you can catch the replay on my Video Tutorials tab at the top of this page or on my YouTube channel.

Thanks for stopping by today...have a spectacular week!
