This woman is a horse. That's what we call her. This is her doing what she loves to do. Garden and take care of the back yard. It's her territory. She will be turning 67 and I know most days she has more energy than I do. A little about her. She was born in Mexico and came over when she was around 7. She met the love of her live, married for 22 very short years and buried him 16 years ago. 10 years ago I moved and said to her that she had taken care of me all her life so now it was time for me to take care of her. She sold everything and moved with me. Best thing ever! I love her dearly and owe her everything that I am.... ( Look at the dates on the pic.. 12/4/09 Dec. and see how bright and sunny it is. That's why I live in AZ. )
If you look closely you will see it is frayed at the bottom of the card.The Rose stamp is from at SU set called Fifth Ave Floral.

Love what you did with that 5th Ave flower. Great colour too!
What a beautiful card for your mom. She is sure to love it. I have seen adhesive back fabric at Michaels Arts and Crafts before if you have one near you. You may even want to stop by Michelle's Scrapbooking More if she doesn't have your fabric you may find something out just as gorgeous and unique! She is always getting something new and pretty!
Thanks for joining us at the Pixie Cottage for our challenge,
