Mothers Day

Hi everyone hope you are all well today ,  i had a fab time at Harrogate on Saturday with my daughter in law and we both got some lovely goodies and a few bargains too, i got 8 gorgeous new LOTV stamps for mothers day off my lovely son's  and we also managed to get to watch quite a few demo's,

My card today is my Mums mothers day card,  she is so difficult to make cards for so i did this really simple card, she doesn't like anything fussy or cute n cuddly ,so it had to be flowers
