 This week we hope to help get you digging thru your stash for all things feminine or girly or any type of Mother's Day card!  Whether you indulge your penchant for pink or go a different route, as long as it fits the general theme, it's all good!

This week we have a variety of styles that help showcase all the options available to you!

First off we are thrilled to introduce you to Lynn, our newest DT member!  Be sure to stop by her blog and say hello!

Isn't her card gorgeous?
