Mother's Day Is Approaching

Hello there friends !! 
I'm going to start off with a post I made in one of my Card-Making Groups on FB and see if any of my readers can help me out with this question, this is exactly what I posted on FB and I am going to directly quote it here in hopes that I can get some good answers!! Here it is: 

Ok friends, I need some hand holding and direct guidance/Links. I prefer to buy my paper in either packs, stacks, or books. I like to get packs with all the different colors in them, packs that have tons of patterns, etc. but also some really good cream, white and black. but I want them in weights from between 65lb - 110 lb. Can you PLEASE help me find these by providing me with direct links to these things, exact names- brand, collection name, etc. I just need to be hand held for a minute so I can find these things because I am getting SOOO frustrated. Thank you in advance !!

Do any of you have any suggestions, links, products you use? I would really appreciate direct links to any of the products you suggest if at all possible !! Just copy and paste it into the comments section at the bottom. (You do not have to create an account to leave a comment, but if you would, please do leave me your name so I may find you on Facebook and properly thank you, and if you are from one of my groups, please tell me which one!)

I have a couple of cards I am just DYING to share with you because I am so proud of them, but on one of them, I'm not sure if the recipient reads my blog or not, so I am going to err on the side of caution and wait til I give it to the recipient before posting the picture and the story with it. The other one is the front of the Mother's Day card I am making for my mom for my dad and sister and myself to sign. I am pretty sure she doesn't read this blog so I am going to post it. I hope you all like it. I've had very limited time frames to work on it, when she is not around. Mostly LATE at night when she finally goes to bed, or EARLY in the morning before she wakes up. So here it is, the front of the Mother's Day card: 

I have not completed the inside yet, but I plan to before she wakes up today!! 

So, what do you all think?

I think my mom is really going to like it. 


I've been told, yet again, that I should be selling my cards, and this time I was told by a very reliable source who tells the truth whether or not you want to hear it. So I've decided that I a going to. I am going to Start a Facebook Page for it and an Etsy store. Wish me luck !! I'm very excited at the potential income, because we all know it's just going to be spent on more crafting supplies and goodies !!
I only wish I had that money NOW, it would REALLY help me out. Oh well, thus is life !! 

Don't forget to check back after the first of May to see the really awesome card I mentioned earlier, because as soon as she has it in her hands, I will be posting a picture on here !!! 

Keep coming back, 
Corinne

P.S. PLEASE leave me some blog love by way of comments, I really want to hear from you !!
