Roses in Winter

 Happy Fri-YAY, Friends!!

A gloomy, rainy start to the weekend but our weather is to improve for Mother's Day weekend! YAY! Today is my dear sweet hubby's birthday! I have a card for him that I will share one day next week so stay tuned for that! 

Happy Birthday, Buppie (aka Shawn)!! 💗🎊🎈🎉

Today I have a special card to share that I was asked to make for a friends Mom. She is very close with her mom and wanted something special to give her on Mother's Day. I was happy to help!

I was told she loves flowers, teddy bears and the color burgundy which those hints helped SO much in creating a card for her. I went in search of a special set and found 2 that fit the bill beautifully....Tea Together & Roses in Winter! Both sets are long retired but you know, they still live on in my stamp room! 

Every single product used on this card is now retired and I found it so enjoyable to sit and create this! Roses in Winter has always been a favorite of mine. I had the stamp set years ago (2003 to be exact when it arrived in our Stampin Up! Annual Catalog) and when we made the move to Missouri in 2010 I sold it. Many years later I seen it for sale at L&L Stamps and purchased it for alot less than it originally sold for. I was so thrilled to have it back in my collection and I will say that this card made me smile! I hope my friend loves it and that her mom loves it even more! Thanks Shannon, for asking me to make it for you!
