First attempt at an 2S4Y competition

Here's my first attempt at an 2S4Y design.
Didn't want another 'Happy Birthday' card so decided to make something for mom. I love pink and hearts and just put this all together to tell mom how much we kids love her -- will give it to her on my next trip to Dubai.

Here is Laura's sketch 8 (from 2 Sketches 4 You)

And my take on the sketch...

Here's a close-up. I've tried quite a few things on the camera but still can't seem to get the 'exact colors' ... just need to experiment some more and hopefully in due time it should work out!


Mom has a habit to read before going off to sleep and I thought a MOM bookmark included would be the best thing for her. The bookmark is made on an old id card and some basic scrapbooking paper (from K&Company), ribbon and shiny heart stick-on from the local store and is handwritten - I somehow still prefer this than stamping in some cases -- and the fact that right now I have just one bunch of text stamps! :)
