with the theme this week chosen by the very talented Franz, who chose the theme of 

I Love You Mom

Believe it or not I actually created this card just before I found out that I had been chosen for the Wild Rose Studio Design Team, as I think I am having an addiction to these gorgeous little Bella's. Please pop over and see other gorgeous interpretations of this theme at the main challenge site by our amazing team.
I made a Birthday Card for a Mum

Wild Rose Studio - sentiment from the Little Labels Collection
