Mother’s Day Card
Margot Potter
“These are your grandmother’s crafts...
...ya gotta problem
with that?”
It's almost here...are you ready? This Sunday is Mother's Day, my fine friends. No one works harder than mom and no one deserves a day off more than she does. Take it from this hard workin' mama, we really, really, really appreciate the love. What better way to show mom how much you love her than with this wickedly funny retrofabulous card you can make yourself using Aleene's FABULOUS dry adhesives? Take her somewhere special and let her kick her feet up and relax, she's earned it. Believe me.
