Lift Me Up Greeting Card

Hello fellow stampers and welcome!

I had a wonderful weekend! I got to spend time with my Mom and a few of my stamping friends in Victoria.  What is better than spending time with Mom and friends?  Getting time to play with stamps, ink and paper too! Whoo-hoo!

The other reason I got so excited is because my mom wanted to make a card for each of our friends we would be spending crafting time with (you see my mom is a fibre artist, not a paper crafter - so this is a big thing for me! Yahoo Mom!) So, my mom actually made a set of cards and I want to share it with you today.  It is also a really fun and easy card to recreate, so I hope you give it a try!
