For today's WT: Use lace and button. I created this Double Pocket Card from a tutorial I saw on Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/443182419557031955/ I was surprised how easy it all came together! All you need is an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of dp and score away. I added a strip of eyelet to the front, some lace I got on a cruise ship 6 years ago, butterfly that I spritzed with mambo after cutting and a button. I will be giving this to my mother since she now lives 4 hours away opposed to 1 1/2 miles. I will tuck a teabag inside the front and the tag will go on the inside with a note on the back. I miss sharing a cup of tea with her, so when she uses the teabag she can be reminded of me and all the good times we had. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

What a lovely card for your mom! I was just looking at that stamp the other day, thinking that I should use it again one of these days. I always liked that set.

Roberta, your lace is so pretty and it's about time you used it. :-) That's why we keep things....never know when we will need them. I haven't made a pocket card in a long time. This one is beautiful and I'm sure your mother will love it and the tea...and she will be thinking of you.

This is gorgeous, I love the pink and the beautiful lace. Isn't it great to use things that have been in our stash a while? It just takes the perfect project to get us to use them.

This is so SWEET Roberta!! I'm sorry that your mom is further away now. I'm sure she will love this lovely home made card from you. It's wonderful that the two of you have shared such a nice relationship. :>)

Wow Roberta!! This is beautiful! I love the colors and your stamping is perfect. The lace tops it off beautifully (love that it came from a cruise ship)!

Your mom will most definitely think of you when she drinks her tea. Sorry she's moved farther away. I think when you decided to score away, you knew all those scores would add up to something as grand as this. Lovely mom card.

I love all this beautiful pink! It makes me think spring, which I am definitely ready for! Great double pocket card too. That is something I still need to try.
