Making cards for my mom is always fun, because she's my biggest stamping fan.  She saves all the cards I give her in a special box.  I really like the following card, and it's too bad I can't give it to her.  She reads my blog.  (Hi Mom!)  Good thing I have some other surprises up my sleeve for her for Mother's Day.
