This week I am making cards for me to use next year that are a year on the life but more of a reflection on life and not typical events. I am using 3 events that everyone uses....Christmas, Father's Day and Mother's Day. For Mother's Day, I really wanted to use this clip art that I found.
I found this on a free site http://www.freeretroclipart.com/, you can't use it for commercial use, but you can use it on your own. You want to be careful with copyright, that is why usually I use my own drawings, but this one is too good to pass up. There is also a blog on this site that is very worthy of your time.

The Ali Edwards handwriting font on your computer and blue ribbon. This was fun
