I really couldn't believe how hard it was for me to finish this 8 x 8 page for Adalyn's little personal album, but admittedly, I have not been scrapping as much as I would like to. Trying to fit in a full days work, on top of running 3 to 4 (or more/less) per week, and cleaning the house and raising the kids...no one ever said it would be this busy!
As you can see, this is relatively a simple page. The background paper is SU! green galore. I used the lots of dots jumbo wheel to run as the background. I used a frilly frame from the SU! Gallery stamp set. I stamped it with pixie pink ink onto pink passion paper. I also stamped 'small wonder' from the SU! Whimsical Words using gable green ink onto whisper white paper. I matted Adalyn's picture on white, and then on pixie pink paper. The flourishes are from the retired SU! Doodle This stamp set. I stamped the flourish with a glue pad and used a very pale pink glitter - just to get the bling factor in....I can't resist the glitter - she is a girl and I like to make her girly! For the finishing touches, I journaled with SU! gable green stamp n write markers and added brads above and below the picture.
Unfortunately, I was not able to make a Mother's Day Card before the holiday, but I do plan to finish that within the next few days and send it out. I didn't forget to call mom though, I really hope she is okay with receiving her card late. To leave you with a challenge seems to be an ongoing theme for me lately, so I will continue it with this...send a handmade card - even if it is late! It is better to receive it late than to think you have been forgotten, right?!
I hope this Mother's Day brings sunshine and happiness to all!! Thanks for looking! Any and all comments are welcome.
As Always,
Roseanne
