Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks so much for visiting my blog today.
I made this project for this week's digital tuesday challenge. Our hostess Lorraine wants to see something for Mom this week, since Mother's day is just weeks away in the UK. But since we don't celebrate Mother's day here in the US for a few more months we can also make a birthday card or just to say I love you, etc.
I actually lost my mom when I was a child, so I made this for myself (I am a mom so I think it counts-right?). The vintage print will be replaced by a photograph of me, my mom and siblings when I was two. This challenge was a great opportunity for me to start with an old family pictures 6x6 scrapbook. (Thanks so much for this challenge Lorraine!!)

Papers are all from a retired Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin Up. The sentiment is also from the set it reads
" Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts".
" Where we love is home - home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts".
I embellished with some flowers from Fred She Said and used buttons with some thread as flower centers. I've also added some lace, flourishes and a heart charm.
Hope you'll join us in this challenge, to make a card or other project for a mom. The talented Dustin Pike is our sponsor again and is offering 3 of his fun digis to one lucky winner.
Hope you'll have a fantastic day!!
