Sunday Scrappin'

First of all, Happy Mother's Day to all the women out there. Your influence if felt, and your examples inspire me. Thanks, and I hope you are able to relax, and I hope you don't have to change any diapers today.

I didn't get any scrapbooking done this week with my parents in town, but I did get the Tulip Fest album that I made with my Mom's photos done. I love how it turned out. I made the album with 9x9 pages not realizing that 9x9 albums are hard to come by. I ordered one online, but it was too big for the amount of pages I had, so I made my own:
I used Modge-Podge to stick two pieces of chipboard (10x10" size) together (for each cover - 4 pieces total), and then covered them in cute paper, ribbons and a photo. Using my crop-a-dile, I punched holes, and added jump rings and ribbon. I sanded the edges of the chipboard, and paper to make it smooth, and even out the spots that weren't quite straight.

It worked out that I had the same amount of horizontal, and vertical pictures so each two page spread had two horizontal shots, and two vertical shots. I found enough flower quotes online to include one on each pages. My favorite is : Earth laughs in flowers.

On to my To-Do's: I really need to get some pictures ordered. This has been on my list for awhile, and now that Uncle Sam has come through, I think I can do it. :) I have an itch to scrapbook, so I hope to make a bunch of pages this week.

This weeks bonus question: Did you make anything for Mother's Day? Sadly, no. I bought cards for the mothers in my life. I sent store bought gifts. I'm okay with that though.

Join us for Sunday Scrappin', and you will be inspired to get out your supplies and get to work. I guarantee it. I love it!
