What a GORGEOUS Mother's Day card!
A stunning mothers day card and I just love the stamped images.
Hi Kelli - As usual, your cards are gorgeous! It would be an honor to receive one from you. I only wish I could slow life a bit and enjoy the craft you do so well. Until then I'll enjoy the beauty of your talents. ~Adrienne~
I love the silhouette cards--so charming!
I always enjoy looking at your lovely cards, Kelli. I made a paper garland for springtime this week so I decided to link up! Have a wonderful day! :-)

oh I would love to be in your give away. I am just studying all this card making so I have not started a project yet but maybe one day I will be joining you.
As always your cards are so wonderful and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your how-to's!

Hello Kelli!
I am over from Christine at Wash, fold, put away, repeat. ANd just discovered your blog. I wish I had an entire morning to sit down and red through all of your postings. I think I am going to have a wonderful time here. You do a beautiful job.
Have a wonderful day! Karen
This is such a fun weekly linky party, and I love how you aren't limited to scrapbook pages but anything made with paper. I plan on participating a lot, thanks for hosting the fun! You make beautiful cards and the example you shared today is elegant but looks like it'd be easy enough to make multiple copies all at once.
I'm absolutely going to use that mother's day card idea.... VERY lovely!
Greetings! :)
You cards are so lovely.

Kelli, the cards are lovely, I especially like the Mother's Day one.
I had a bit of catching up to do. Your front porch is so welcoming, I love the way you fashioned the wreath and your fairy garden is just wonderful...I'm going to borrow some of your ideas and try my hand at creating one....hugs, Linda
Didn't get any cards done this week, but please enter me in the drawing. Would love any of your wonderful things.

Dear Kelli,
Your cards are so beautiful! You have such a gift!
I am still looking over your spring porch ideas and past posts all the time. I am going to make your Lemon Pudding Cake this weekend. It looks delicious!

Your cards are so pretty!
do you used a particular brand of rubber stamps or do just pick them up at a craft store? whatever you do, you have very good taste.
Kelli ~ I especially like the friendship silhouette cards at the end of your post. All your cards are very pretty.
Beautiful Mother's Day card Kelli. I love the colours and print style you chose.
God bless.
Your cards are always beautiful, and you make it look so easy!!! Thank you for sharing your talents. Your blog is full of inspiration!
Your cards are really beautiful and original. I made the tea cup one and sent to a friend who was going through some health issues and I know it made her day.
Kelli,
What is the secret to your smooth edging on your cards?
Mine are always a bit uneven.
Thank you, and will try to get cards done next week.
I really appreciate you hosting this nice event and so love the cards you do.

What a lovely Mother's Day card! Thanks for sharing your "know how." I often feel inspired from visits to your blog.
Kelli,
You cards are just beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration :)
I love ALL your paper crafting projects! You have such a good eye for color and texture and pattern in papper.
I love these cards! I'm no good at making bows so I was glad to see how cute the flower looks in its place.
I've been reading your blog for a while, and now that I have my own blog I added a link to yours from mine!
Lovely Cards! We've been making Garden Journals like there's no tomorrow. Come see!
Blessings ~ Eileen @ Star's Fault
