#61 for Tammy's Scrapin' Corner

Happy Monday! 

I have two posts today, the first one is for my DT creation for Tammy's Scrapin' Corner

 

Our theme this week for challenge #61

Mothers Day

 

My mother unexpectedly and suddenly passed away last year on Mother's Day

This week is going to be rather different and difficult for my family

May 10th would have been her birthday

Sunday is our first Mother's Day without her

Monday 13 is the 1st anniversary of her passing

 

But, she loved that I have a passion for creating and making cards

And she had a passion for flowers and gardening

So this BRIGHT and CHEERY card is for you MOM, I miss you and love you

 

 

Image is called Flowers from QKR Stampede, who is one of our sponsors this week. 

You can find it HERE

 

 

and our other sponsor... Digi Stamp Characters

 

 

I used the following Copic markers to color this image:

R11, R27, R29, RV02, RV21, RV23, Y11, Y15, Y17, YG06, YG23, G07, Colorless Blender

Paper from Echo Park 6 x 6 Paper Pad - For the Record 2

Oval from Cricut cartridge "George & Basic Shapes" - page 114 <oval1> cut at 4"

Scallop edge from Cricut cartridge "Just Because Cards" page 42 <Truck-s> cut at 5-1/2"

Finishing touches:  a red ribbon/bow, sentiment attached with a safety pin,

Buttons for flower centers with white floss, added red bakers twine bow and adhesive pearls

Challenge #53 with Tammy's Scrapin Corner

It's Monday morning!

And its back to work after a lovely weekend filled with card making, church and lunch with friends.

I trust everyone had a great weekend too!

 

Oh, and I have a new job...

I am now working at our School District Building in the Business Services Department.

So excited to be out of the school site and no longer an Office Manager.

I will miss many people: staff (you know who you are), families and students. Others...not so much!

My closest friends know my situation and this is a true answer to prayer. (PTL)

After accepting this position, I did receive word from another application I submitted for the City.

This position was for Administrative Assistant.

Out of 505 applications, I was one of 25 asked back to the next step in the process, a 2 hour test.

I did turn it down, as I had already accepted the District position, but this news really made my day.

 

I feel so blessed to have a new job, in a department where I will be appreciated and supported.

It already feels good and like family.

 

Anyway, enough of that... on with this weeks challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner
