Vintage-y Mother's Day

Wow! Did you all enjoy the Tiddly Inks Treasure Hunt Blog Hop? (Did you figure out the secret message?) I was totally blown away by everyone's FABULOUS creations!

And now I'm back with some more Tiddly Inks goodness! :) This time with another one of the new images, "You are on my mind"... to go along with this week's challenge Mother's Day with a vintage flair! I gotta admit vintage/shabby chic isn't really my thing- so I did what I thought was 'vintage' and gave it my own twist! :)
