Feel Better, Daisy

Sunday, January 30, 2011

I made this card for my mother-in-law.  She is recovering from surgery.  I decided to use some of her beautiful handmade paper on my card.  After a recent trip to Italy, she was inspired by all of the handmade papers she saw there.  I have been hoarding all of the pieces she has given me, until now!

Daisy is a nickname for my mother-in-law that came out of a funny conversation we had about what I would call her.  When my husband and I got married I was 29 almost 30 and calling her mom just seemed strange.  Calling her by her first name, Elaine, felt weird too. 
 Daisy it is! 


What do you call your mother-in-law?

Specialty Paper: Made By My Mother-In-Law

    Wow! You picked the most perfect base to go with your MIL's paper. It features that Mat Stack so beautifully.

    This card is so soft and precious- I'm sure your Daisy is going to love this.
    I call my mother in law "Nino". Everyone calls her Nino. Apparently, when my her first grandson (my husband's son) was old enough to start talking, she wanted him to call her "Nanny", but it came out "Nino", and the name stuck. : )

    Beautiful card! My mother in law is know as Honey because that is what my kids (and the other grandchildren) call her. Now we all call her Honey.

    By the time Curt and I got married there were already other grandchildren in the family so everyone called her Oma so I just stuck with that ....... and we had kiddies so soon after it was perfect. I love this paper and the simplicity of the card but how it radiates beauty!!! LOVE IT Kara~~
