Mother's Day 2012

So I meant to post these much sooner, but here's some Mother's Day items.

First a gift for my mother-in-law:

I bought a pot and saucer and painted them with an outdoor pottery paint.  Print your photos out on regular printer paper in black and white.  I printed pictures in a lot of different sizes and then used Modge Podge to apply them.  Remember the top of the pot is wider than the bottom, you'll have to decide which pictures you'll want layered over other ones.  Make sure you smooth all the bubbles out.  After this dries, add a crystal clear enamel or acrylic spray.  Add some beautiful flowers and there you have a great present for the grandparents.

Our cat had to check out the flowers.

Now I move on to a Mother's Day card for my step-mother.

I used the wallpaper embossing paper folder from Stampin' Up.  I also used Sahara Sand ink pad from SU and rolled it onto the folder with a brayer before embossing it.  I used the Cricut machine for the cutout and layer.  I added pearl embellishments and tied a ribbon added by glue dots.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by.
