layout: Happy Birthday dear Boy!

Today we are looking at one of Silvia's layouts. I love the way in which she has used this kit. It shows how versatile her kits can be. I love the photos. They look like there was lots of fun being had. I also really like the way she has done the title using more than one font. It really makes it stand out. I also really like the way that the elements are coming out from behind the photo. This is an outstanding page.

Around the World Challenge - 1 more week!

Just a quick reminder that you have one more week to participate in Silvia's May-June Around the World challenge at Digitals! You are asked to create a layout describing your mom physically. Kind of like painting a picture of your mom with words, describing her physical attributes. This will involve journaling! There is a participation gift for everyone who creates a layout and posts to the Around the World gallery by the last day of June! 

Do you know what you want to scrap about, but need an idea of a kit to scrap with? How about this one? I Love You, Mom! This is a beautiful kit with rich colors and tones of gold!

You can pick I Love You, Mom! up at any of Silvia's stores.

I Love You Mom

This weekend we will be celebrating Mother's Day. Mother's Day is celebrated in the US on the 2nd Sunday in May and was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held a memorial to honor her mother. She campaigned to make this a permanent day to honor mothers and was successful when President Woodrow Wilson declared Mother's Day an official holiday in 1914. Sadly by the 1920s the holiday had become so commercialized that Anna denounced it! She was convinced that sending a store-bought card instead of a handwritten note was the sign of a lazy child.

Mother's Day is celebrated in various forms at various times around the world. If you'd like to learn more about the traditions of Mother's Day in other countries, check out the Wikipedia article here.

I know my camera will get quite a workout this weekend and I will have some photos to scrap next week. So I decided to get a head start and went searching the galleries for inspiration. I found a beautiful layout, I Love You Mom, by Jean Ann. She created a heritage layout, but I think these colors and that beautiful frame would work just as well with a photo taken this weekend.

To create her beautiful layout, Jean Ann chose Silvia's I Love You Mom collection.

You can pick this up in any of Silvia's stores.
