A Mother's Love is Precious Indeed

This year I sent out Mother's Day cards that were a diamond fold card. You can see the tutorial here. It's actually pretty simple to make. I did have to use extra postage to mail it.

Happy Day!

26 years ago today I gave birth to a baby boy who weighed 9 lbs, 10 oz. I am 5'1" so it was not an easy task!! LOL He could not wear any newborn clothes, no newborn diapers, he had to wear size 3 months. We named him Nicholas and we are so proud of the man he has become!

So my card today is this cute little mouse headed to work, school or wherever... I decided to make this for my godchild on her first day teaching kindergarten (not till August but I have it done early! HA) I made the clouds vellum for something different. I just think this mouse is so cute!!
