Mother's Day - Card Pattern 62

I FINALLY made a Mother's Day card - which means my Mother-in-law will get hers in the mail on Monday.  Luckily, she is a very laid-back, forgiving MIL!  I used Card Patterns sketch 62.  Here it is...

You're so sweet

I need a Thank you card for a wonderful family.  Two of the kids ride my bus and they are moving.  The very kind Mom met me at the bus stop to give me a photo box full of scrappy/crafty supplies (she knows I am a scrapbooker).  Wasn't that sweet?!  So, here is the card...

Birthday

I made a birthday card for my husband's coworker and buddy.  His birthday is today.  He used to fly airplanes (now he flies the kind where he stays on the ground).  Anyway, I thought he would enjoy this card.
