Mother's Day Ideas

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted ... it's been quite chaotic since my Dad's accident last Wednesday.

I have not found the time to stamp myself lately, but thought I could still share a few cool projects with you.

 

I thought these two projects would make fabulous Mother's Day Gifts.

The first one is an 8x8 scrapbook page.  Isn't the color combo so pretty?  NOTE:  You could easily customize this using another color scheme, designer paper & accessories.

Paper

• Whisper White textured card stock (5-1/4# x 1-5/8#)
• 2 Sweet Simply Scrappin'

Accessories & Tools

• Button Bouquet
• Stampin' Dimensionals
• Crochet thread

Instructions

1. Adhere Designer Series paper (2-1/8" x 8") to Elegant Eggplant textured page. Adhere Kiwi Kiss self-adhesive strip to page, flush with edge of Designer Series paper. Adhere thin Basic Gray self-adhesive strip along right edge of Designer Series paper.
2. Print journaling on Whisper White textured card stock. Adhere to page. Adhere Kiwi Kiss self-adhesive heart to page.
3. Fold Kiwi Kiss self-adhesive tab over top edge of photo. Adhere self-adhesive greeting to tab. Adhere self-adhesive flower to tab using Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere photo to page.
4. Layer circle, arrow, row-of-stars, and star self-adhesive die cuts using Stampin' Dimensionals between circle/arrow and arrow/star layers. Adhere to page.
5. Layer flower self-adhesive die cuts. Thread crochet thread through holes in Kiwi Kiss button, and adhere button to center of layered flower. Adhere to page.
6. Layer star and two sizes of heart self-adhesive die cuts. Adhere to page using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The second project is that cute little flower box.

I hope your Dad's recovery is progressing swiftly; with all the cards I'm sure you received for him, he surely is doing well! You've posted a cool project and, while I don't scrapbook, the box [including pattern] is inspiring.
