Today's theme for CAS challenge is "remembrance". I used these lovely stamps and coordinating dies from PTI (a gift from a friend) to make a card in memory of my mom, who was an accomplished gardener and had the most extraordinary Peonies. I have two plants in my garden that were transplanted from my mom many years ago; they are just about to bloom!

Your peonies are wondeful, Claudia. My sweet grandmother had two peony plants in her yard. One white and one pink. Every time I see a peony I think of her. A sweet remembrance for your dear mom.

Your peonies are so soft and beautiful, Claudia. They are one of my favorite flowers. My Mom, too, had peonies, and when she moved, my sister and I transplanted the plants to our yards, and most of them lived. They bring back memories don't they?

How lucky to have two of your Mom's peony bushes, Claudia. Ours have just finished blooming, but I imagine yours are in their glory. A BEAUTIFUL card to honor your Mom.

Your card is lovely. I really like how you left the whit in between the petals of the peonies. They are one of my top favorite flowers. I had tons of them for my wedding and they were all free from the gardens of my mother and her friends.

Oh, Claudia, what a gorgeous card! I love the shade of pink and how you've colored them, and what a beautiful frame with the embossed layer! What a precious memory of your mom - you are blessed to have two of her plants in your garden! Precious memories to cherish always!! Thanks for sharing your memory of mom! Hugs! xoxo
