Mother's Day Cards

Mother's Day is a few days away and I got crafty with some cards for the special mother's in our life. I couldn't just make a "card", so mine are more of a mini-book card, but who doesn't love photos of cute kids, right?

I put this card together using the Crate Paper Open Road and Styleboard collections.  I started with an accordion album and then added in my photos, sentiment and message.

Since I'm not a card maker per se, making cards like this is totally right up my alley!  I know it will be loved!

I put together this card for my mother-in-law using the Glitz Design Carpe Diem collection.  You can read more about how this card came together over on the Glitz blog today.  

I created a middle fold card because I really wanted to tie it closed with a pretty ribbon.  The inside of the card includes a photo and our message.  

Both of these cards were super easy to make and I hope my mother-in-law and aunt love them!!  Happy early Mother's Day to each and every single one of you!!
