I was working on a layout when I suddenly realized Mother's Day is this Sunday and I hadn't made a card for my mom yet - bad me! I wanted to try something a little different, so I pulled out the Happy Place stamp set that I had purchased a while ago but never used. The little nesting dolls are so cute, and I thought they would be a fun image to use on my card. The rest of the pieces took a little longer to fall into place, but I ended up using a bunch of random stuff that managed to look good together. Just an FYI: the patterned paper is from a Christmas kit and has mittens on the back (which would take me forever to use here in Southern California), so I re-purposed it for a Mother's Day card. Sometimes out of the box thinking can really help use up some of your stash!

I love your card with the little Russian dolls. My daughter had a set of these when she was little. They always hold a place in my heart and bring good memories. I know your card will bring happiness and good thoughts to the mom that receives it. Have a happy Mother’s Day. Thanks for joining us at BBTB2 this week.

This card is super cute. Great way to show off both those awesome nesting dolls and the Cricut sentiment! And it's also great that you pulled out Christmas paper and used it here in a way that you could never tell. Thanks for participating in the BBTB2 challenge. Janet
