I am back to share my final result from the Michael’s Make Every Moment Count Blogger Challenge. It was so much fun working with paper and scrapbook elements again.

I decided to create Mother’s Day cards that double as little photo keepsakes. Both my Mother and Mother-in-law display photos and cards and I thought this would be perfect for their displays. Just to remind you, here are the supplies I picked up at Michael’s to work with.

I used the sheet of acetate to cover the front of the cards. I used the Violet Leaf Mat Stack to frame the photos as well as for the frame design on the front of the card.

I was most excited to use the Martha Stewart 3-in-1 punches. I used one of the punches to create a frame for one of the K&Company flower elements.

Then I used the scallop circle to add to the K&Company flower brads. I actually took off a layer of the flower and replaced it with the acetate paper. I love how it turned out, and how it tied the front of the card to the inside.

 I made two different cards, and they were slightly different. Here’s the inside of the second card. I am a minimalist when it comes to scrapbooking. I like the photos to speak for themselves with just a little embellishment here and there.

Oh and here is the front of the other card. So the turquoise front, went with the turquoise inside and the green went with the green. I ended up printing Happy Mother’s Day on card stock and mounting the words and the frame on some chipboard. It gives the front of the card some nice dimension.

Here are both of the cards one more time.

I am really excited to give these to my Mom and Mother-in-law this weekend. There is still time for you to make a homemade keepsake card too. I know they will love it, if you do.
