Mother's Day 2012 Layout

Yes it's two posts in one day from me!  Scroll down to see the adorable baby shower invitations I posted earlier this evening :)

Here is the layout I scrapped tonight, it's for the Lasting Memories "Celebrate Mom or Another Special Woman in your Life" challenge and it's my entry for the SNC 52 week challenge. These are pictures of my mom and I on Mother's Day. They were taken in front of my house.  The azaleas look so awesome in these pictures - sadly they don't last long enough. I added the journaling under the picture on the left. The date is on the tab where it pulls out.

I used a sketch from Sketch Inspiration for my page~

Supplies~

Paper: Authentique Uncommon, Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream cardstock

Other: Thickers, Prima flowers

Thanks for looking!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I started my day being woken up with doggy kisses from Amber and then I spent the day with my mom :) 

Here is the card I made for her this morning - yes, I'm a last minute girl and work better under pressure LOL!

I used the London Market Project Pantry kit and the Make It Amazing stamp set from Taylored Expressions. Aren't the papers so pretty! I knew they would make a wonderful card for my mom.  

I am entering the card in several challenges:

Clean & Simple Stamping #190

Tuesday Throwdown #97 - Motherly Love

Celebrate the Occasion #62 - Mother's Day

Raise the Bar #104 - Mother's Day 

Stamptacular Sunday #163 - Butterfly Kisses

Here's a pic I had my hubby take of us after we got back from shopping and lunch :)

PCC90 - Mother's Day

It's Friday! Yippee!!

Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day! How are you celebrating?  I hope to be in my craftroom a good portion of the day catching up with some of the online classes I am taking. I'm lucky to be squeaking out my page a day for LOAD at this rate LOL! I need to do a serious clean up in here to make it easier to find things (again!!)

Today's PaperCutz Challenge is to create a card, layout or craft project for Mother's Day using any colors you'd like.  I made a card for my mom - yes, I am actually done ahead of time! If I didn't have this challenge to do though I'd probably be making it Saturday night LOL!

I have been wanting to use this Basic Grey Marjolaine collection on a card for her. She loves greens like the ones in this paper pad.  I was going to stamp an image but then decided to go with the matching chipboard since I will be hand-delivering the card. The sentiment is from a newer Fiskars set. I inked the edges of the card and patterned paper panel with Chestnut Roan chalk ink from ColorBox.

I was inspired by this sketch from Just Add Ink~
