Happy Mother's Day! I know what you're going to say, 'this isn't the typical girlie colors for a Mother's Day card.' And you'd be right. I made this card for my lovely daughter. She joined our group almost 5 years ago, with the birth of her first child and my first grandchild. Haley. She was a beautiful baby, and she continues to grow into a beautiful, caring, loving child. Anyways, her mom, my daughter, never loved pink. In fact, she was always a tom-boy. She always had a love for blues, and non-girly things. So, I set-out to make her a Mother's Day card that suited her. I can make a girly MD card. Easy-peasy. I have an infinity to pink and girly. But, that's not my daughter.
I found a color challenge on the web that called for us to use Royal Blue, Sky Blue, and Lavender. Crate. Not typical girl colors - perfect! And the ladies over @ Just Us GirlS have a wonderfully creative sketch #83. So, I combined the two to make this card for my daughter.
P.S. I didn't submit my card to the Crate blog, because it doesn't qualify. I don't own any Crate papers. :( But, I loved their color challenge. Please take a look at their site. And participate if you can! Oh, don't forget to submit your entry to the Just Us Girls challenge blog, like I did! I just realized that my entry wasn't submitted to their blog. Oh my!

Great job on a unique card for your daughter. How wonderful that you recognize what her tastes are and accommodate that in your card for her. I love the buttons and the great color palette. Nice flip on the sketch. Thanks so much for joining Just us Girls this week.
