Maybe you have gleamed some for your own arsenal to say to your own kids.... I know I have!

All the best and thanks to everyone that took part in this wonderful memory lane.

Mothers quotes - day 13

I asked the lovely Fiskateers about a month ago to quote their mothers. Some were awesomely hilarious.... (to me. I could have a warpt sense on humour though).

I also found out even though we are an international bunch that most mothers/caregivers said similar things to us when growing up.

My mission during this month is to do some creative thing with as many quotes I can (as time allows).

story of...

Designer: Lisa Truesdell

A large mat in the center of this page groups the photos and journaling together, which makes creating a cohesive page a breeze!  I dressed up the simple design by scattering embellishments around my other elements and used stitching to tie it all together.

 

Difficulty rating

Beginner

Instructions (Print version)

1. Trim white cardstock to 11.5x11.5in and attach to a piece of black cardstock.  Stitch around the edge.
2. Trim a 7.25x9.5in mat from black polka dot patterned paper and attach to the middle of the white cardstock.
3. Trim strips of pink polka dot patterned paper using scallop edgers and attach to 3 sides of the black polka dot patterned paper. Stitch in place.
4. Add photos as shown.
5. Trim 2 pieces of pink striped patterned paper to 2x3.5 in and attach on the mat.
6. Journal on the bottom piece of pink striped patterned paper.  Add stitching and a heart to the right side.
7. Stamp kids on a chipboard tag, and again on coordinating patterned papers.  Use the fingertip swivel craft knife to cut elements from the stamped images and add them to your stamped tag.  This is a great way to create a custom embellishment to match any page!
8. Add tag to the top piece of pink striped patterned paper with a black brad.  Add chipboard hearts next to the tag and stitch into place.
9. Trim accent from patterned paper and attach next to photo.  Add a heart to the upper right of the photo.  Stitch both elements in place.
10. Trim words from patterned paper and arrange under the photo.  Add chipboard hearts to either side and stitch into place.
11. Add a chipboard bookplate around your words.  Attach with black brads.
