May blog hop - Mother's Day with Stampin' Up products

Welcome to the monthly blog hops with us!  

Since Stampin' Up will be discontinuing My Digital Studio (MDS) at the end of May, I wanted to use it a little more before then! 

I also used the card sketch design #144 from an upcoming Paper Craft Crew challenge - the design is at the bottom of the post. 

Here is my card:
