"Cards For Mother's Day"

Hello to all the beautiful people on this Wednesday, April 29, 2020.
How are you doing since we have made it to the middle of the week.  Are you keeping you focus on how good God is?  Remember, if you need additional help with anything, whatever your situation or need, 211 is a three digit number that allows you to find help when you need it. In addition to helping those in need, people who want to give something back to the community by volunteering or making donations can call 211 and get connected.  We are all in this together so let's help wherever or whenever we can.  I'm challenging you!
Most card makers or crafters usually try to stay one month ahead of schedule when it comes to holidays or special days.  May will roll in here on Friday and Mother's Day is not far behind.
I miss my Mom and the celebrations we would give her when she was living.  Being that she has passed on, there are mother's in my community, at my church, and those that I worked with.  I can still help someone celebrate.  I've been making a few cards to get started with my donations.  There are two in this post along with an encouragement card:
"I Wish I Could Make Everything Better"
This is an encouragement card that I made and posted to Instagram on yesterday.  I believe all who viewed it felt better knowing that someone else cares about whatever situation they are in.  We may not have the all that they need but even an encouraging word or gesture means so much doing this time in our world.

"Take Heart.  Here's Mine"
I'm using this card as a Mother's Day Card.  Someone will be able to write a sweet message to their Mom or someone who has taken the place of their Mom on Mother's Day.  It could also be used to show someone that you care...from your/my heart to yours.
I've used the plaid and dotted paper from Recollections/Michaels and the floral piece from Tim Holtz's Worn Wallpaper.  The heart is from a Spellbinder's die and the words came from Cosmo Cricket tiny text.  Faux gems were added for decoration.

"Best Mom Ever"
Enabler's List:
cardstock: Neenah white; Craft Smith black diagonal; Hunkydory pink floral; DCWV dark grey; dotted vellum; Prima St. Tropez; and DCWV gold
sentiment from "bits"
flowers from Hunkydory with bright gold crystal drops from Nuvo;  and faux gems from jots
I followed the sketch pattern given for SC799 at Splitcoaststampers.com

Keep that smile on your face and enjoy each moment.  We are not only here for ourselves but others also.

Thanks for viewing.

Sending you a hug and love,
Lois

I love all of them! I may have to CASE the first one! I am supposed to create a card using diamonds and lace. Until I saw your card, I was stumped. Your focal layout is so awesome! Nice work on all three!
