Happy Mother's Day

Today I will thank my mum for all that shes does as I have tried to do every year for as long as I can remember. She's never been the biggest fan of breakfast in bed so a card is one of the ways I've always aimed to do that!

This family of bunnies was created as a custom order. The lovely lady that ordered it saw my elephant card and asked me to create another version of it. I made the bunnies, in a similar style to my Easter greetings cards, and after sending over my work in progress pictures, a few modifications were made and the result was a personalised greetings card we were both happy with! I really love the yellow of the daisies with that bright pastel pink. I am using this colour combination in a lot of my designs at the moment.

Thank you to all the Mums, Grandmas and Great Grannys out there. Thank you to every important lady or mother figure there is -You're pretty excellent!

Happy Mother's Day!

p.s. In order to create a greetings card my customer is happy with I tend to send pictures of my designs in progress via email or Facebook.

Currently Loving: Spring

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade."

Charles Dickens

There's not a lot I love more than the first hint of sun after a grey winter. Admittedly, there are a few sunny days in February but it is that first day in March when the sun feels a little warm on your cheeks, when the jackets come off and everywhere you look there are daffodils, that I really really can't get enough of. Apparently it reached 17 degrees C earlier. I'm pretty sure today was that day.

For me, this feeling means that Mother's Day in on the horizon and that Easter isn't far behind. It means pastel colours and Easter bunnies by the dozen, and a great chance to share our love of the wonderful ladies in our life and really just our love of Spring - sun, flowers, new life and everything else it might mean to us.You can see some of my Mother's Day cards on my Instagram or on Facebook and I'll be sharing some of my Easter designs soon.

I hope you have a very lovely evening.

Make for Mum

On Wednesday 22nd March I will be taking part in a #MakeforMum event. This is a new event organised by Child Bereavement UK to celebrate and remember mums everywhere, or for mums to remember their children on Mothering Sunday.

Families that Child Bereavement UK have supported have told them that Mother's Day can be a particularly difficult time. #MakeforMum aims to raise money and awareness to help even more families rebuild their lives after bereavement.

For more information, or to get involved with #MakeforMum, visit Child Bereavement UK's website here.

Have a lovely evening.

No Limits

For those mums that we love with no limit. For those mums who urge us to stand tall and are right there beside us. 

These giraffes are some of my favourites to make. People seem to really like them so I enjoy altering the design to fit different occasions. Have you ever watched a baby giraffe with its mum? Its really nice to see so I liked putting my own spin on these beautiful creatures. 

Happy Saturday!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is on the 26th March and with it comes the opportunity to spread some love and say a great big thank you for everything that these forces of nature do in our lives.

I don't believe that we should save our thanks for one day every year, but I'll definitely be taking the opportunity to celebrate my mum. She's my rock. 

Have a lovely weekend!

Katie
