Graphic 45 card

Hello ;)  When I found Graphic 45 decorated papers online, I had no idea what I would be in for.... they are just a tad bit more expensive than most designer papers... but I figured it might be worth the extra money.   I was blown away by the details on every single beautiful page.  Yes, it was worth every penny.   I'm not the kind of person that usually goes gaa gaa over such things.... but you get the idea.   The Ladies Diary proved to be something special.  

I wanted something different for my mother.   It wasn't her birthday or any special occasion...it was just a thinking of you kind of card.   If you look close enough in the background you can read; Golden Jubilee for the Butterwick pattern company.    Why is that special?    My mother was a seamstress in her younger days.   She would make beautiful clothing.  So this is why this card was so fitting for her.    The rose, is from Stampin' Up.  Which I think they have retired the stamp and the embossing folder.   To my surprise.   I'm sad....I really wanted to make sure I got the rose embossing folder.  

I wanted to share this card with you.   ;)  Have a blessed day.   Mary
