Pion Design - Blue Beauty for Mom

Hello Everyone!

Today I am sharing a Mother's Day card featuring the Pion Design collections "Days Gone By" and "Our Furry Friends". I love the blue flowers and elegant damask designs, so wonderfully feminine!

The wood chippies are all from Scrapiniec, the roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the ribbon is hand dyed seam binding, the pearls are from The Ducks Doodahs, and everything else is from my stash.

The rain has melted all of our snow away, but I have complete confidence that it will snow again before this season is over. After all, it's only February and this IS Canada!! tee hee. Til then, some photos from when the world was white!


It's always such a treat to see one of the female Cardinals come out to say hello. Such a beautiful girl!


Hello little Nuthatch. Whatcha looking at up there?

"Hmmm, you look harmless enough, although you do have funny hair!"

"Emergency! Emergency! We're almost out of pecans on the buffet!" 
~my best bud Crazy Karen~

OH MY GAWD, DON'T YOU JUST LOVE HER!!


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.

  14. That really is a stunning Mother's Day card, the papers are beautiful and I love the darker elements that you added, they stand out beautifully and that blue gem in the centre of the flower is just gorgeous!

    Crazy Karen is always so adorable to see and the female Cardinal is gorgeous, she has some lovely colour about her.

    It seems that winter is arriving again here this week too but I doubt we will get the kind of beautiful snow in your photograph! Hope you have a good week my friend. Hugs, Anne xx

  25. I've had a browse through the posts I missed Pamellia. Your work is such a treat for the eyes but I have to be honest I come here for the wildlife shots now as much as the cards!
    I'm delighted to see miss Dolly P looking healthy, what an amazing job you did that must feel so good. I really hope to see soon that Rocky is on the mend too :o)
    oh and before I go, congratulations on getting published, well deserved

  30. I am almost all caught up - phew! And what an amazing card this is, I love the baby blues white and black, what an amazing combination, it reminds me of some of the Victorian things I have seen. Lucky mum I say.

  33. Being partial to blue I just love this card! And the bits of black really pop. Who,doesn't love crazy Karen.?! I look closer at our squirrels because of your posts/pics. Ours down here are kinda small with thin wispy tails. Hope your well in the mend after that bout with the flu. Hugs

  34. Yum! I love it when you do blue! The contrast of the dark elements really sets those papers off beautifully!

    Love seeing your snowy pics (and the fur babies, of course!) We went from horrible Arctic cold to a sweaty summer day in less than 12 hours! I really will take the cold over that dreadful heat any time! Where did SPRING go???? Hugs!

  35. Hi Pamellia
    Apologies for my absence but a time thief has been stalking me and the kitties have kept me busy.
    What a glorious card to celebrate Mother's Day. I'm sure that it will be treasured.
    Thank you for the shout out with the pearls and super feathered and furry pics as always.
