CELEBRATING MOM'S 85TH

Hi everyone, just me back with what I have been doing this last week.  My mother's birthday is December 8th (so is Tiare Classygirl Smith's).  Got a big surprise going for her.  My older step brother and sister are coming in from California tomorrow along with my baby brother from Chicago and his daughter from Atlanta.  Friday night my sister in law, niece, nephew and niece's boyfriend are in from Chicago. My brother Robert and his wife Edith get in from LA near midnight.   The surprise was gonna be a dinner on Saturday, but since everyone will be here, we are gonna start Thursday. Her biggest surprise will be her brother and sister coming in on Saturday from Los Angeles.  I love family reunions however I can get them.
Ok, so on to my projects.  I wanted to make a "thank you" for those who attended my moms celebration.  I came up with this paper bag card.  It has a pocket on the left side which I am gonna insert a wallet size photo of my mom.  There is also a tag inside the right pocket of the paper bag Thanking everyone for coming.  25 of these were made with a image of her by Robert Jackson.


Of course I had to make my card to her with this same image of her.  I cut the base of my card with my Silhouette.  A matching envelope was made with my Envelope punch board.  Sending a shout out to all my SOC sistahs and Tucson scrap buddies who were kind enough to send my mom cards.  Thank you all and know you are appreciated.
