WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY WWC214 - MARSHA'S "ALL ABOUT OCCASIONS" CHALLENGE

Hello Everyone!
Well, another week has sped by and Spring has sprung out all over my area.   There are all kinds of blossoms showing their beautiful colors!     The challenge this week is for "Occasions", and this time I chose "Mother's Day".     This year is very special to me, as I live  closer to my Mother and she is now 15 minutes away, rather than 4 1/2 hours.    I made three of these cards:
