Looking at my post title and wondering: "What is she talking about?!"
Moeder is Afrikaans for MOTHER! It's a more traditional form of the word, and sometimes I just love to call my mom that, instead of the more generally used 'mamma'. It has it's roots from our Dutch ancestors.
So now that's it for our language lesson ... on to my card that as you know by now is for my mother, of course for Mother's day coming up!
I am entering my card at the following challenges:
Virginias view challenge ~ Stitching

Hope that's a good translation!!
This is such a unique card, Hannelie. When you said Dutch heritage this reminded me of some of the Pennsylvania Dutch things I've seen. Your moeder will love it.
Holy cow, Anita speaks Afrikaans, too?! I did not know that! Well see what you learn when you stop to look at a beautiful card and end up reading the comments! Love this folksy feeling heart card - perfect for Mother's day! So glad you joined us at CAS-ual Fridays!

This sure is a very special Moeder's Day card! I love the homespun feel and of course, the faux stitching in the sentiment matched perfectly with all the elements! I love the red stitched heart! Thanks SO much for entering Virginia's View Challenge!

Your card really says "love you" in a very special way.
Oh, this is such a precious card for a mother. I love that you used a kraft base. Looks amazing! :)
beautiful job
As always, Hannelie...your card is so perfectly executed! I love how you layered the hearts and how beautiful the red and gingham pattern complement the Kraft background! Such a pretty Mother's Day card!
This is such a sweet card for Mother's Day. I love the kraft background and that blue gingham heart is as sweet as they come.
This is such an awesome design. Love the gingham with the red and kraft :)
Gingham, kraft cardstock, a trio of hearts and a twine bow...I adore the folk art/country charm!
Your Moeder is going to love this :)
Oh this is fabulous and beautiful, love the kraft and gingham togethers.
Thank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

O, vrou, jou Ma gaan sekerlik mal wees hieroor!!!
Ek's mal oor jou gebruik van die kraft met die blou, wit en rooi. Die fyn gaatjies in die vorm van die hart is pragtig en die fyn stekies op die rooi is so oulik!! Die strik is perfek en ek hou daarvan dat jy die sentiment so eenvoudig gehou het. Pragtig afgerond met die rooi perels. Hou daarvan dat jy die hartjies op 'n aparte laag gesit het met foam tape om dit ekstra dimensie te gee. Pragtige skepping!!
Groete.
Nou gaan ek gou daai tee maak, die ketel het gekook en ek het heerlik by jou gekuier!!!
Oh yes, I am familiar with that word! Same roots as you, Hannelie! I.LOVE.THIS.CARD!! I am certain that your Moeder will too! Xx
This is lovely!! I love the bow and the colors you used against the kraft background. Stunning card!! Happy Mother's Day!!
this heart is too cute!
Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
