Mother’s Day Revisited – Linda Duke Creations
Good Sunday morning to all!
I’ve been thinking of Mother’s Day projects as it’s just about a month away now. As I was scanning previous projects, I found some beauties by former Design Team member Linda Duke, and they were just too good not to share again, so I decided to do just that. Here are some great projects for Mother’s Day with a very abbreviated product list beneath each. Enjoy!

What a wonderful thing to see Linda Duke back on the card scene. I have always loved her card creations and have missed her. Every one of these cards is so typical of her attention to detail. Each one gorgeous in its own right. I hope to see more of her great cards.
