Do you know someone graduating this year? This is the perfect time to make a special card for that person. I feel for the ones graduating as well as their family members. It’s such a special time.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day. Don’t forget! Earlier this week I heard someone say something funny in regard to the times we are currently facing. He said, “COVID-19 doesn’t cancel Mother’s Day. It’s this Sunday. Don’t forget.” While a lot of things are being cancelled for everyone’s safety, Mother’s Day is not one of those things. Please don’t forget to show your mom some love this Sunday. Mail her a card. Give her a call. Just remember her!
Since Mother’s Day is coming up, I decided to do another FREE card pattern for this week’s Make It Monday. This pattern is from our now retired Originals Card Pattern Book and is called Winning Combination. As I’ve done in the past, I altered it a tiny bit so that my stamped image would fit properly. Always feel free to alter to your needs!

About a month ago, I shared the fabulous stamp set, Let’s Stay Home, that Close To My Heart designed specifically for what our world is going through right now. Well, a few weeks after, through one of their blog posts, they shared a couple of SVGs that coordinated nicely with this set and in case you missed it, I wanted to share it with you today.
This week’s Make It Monday features another FREE card pattern. This Top Band Pattern is from our now retired Wishes Card Pattern Book. It’s a simple design and one you can certainly alter a bit as I’ve done here today!
