Cuttlebug Blog's May Project 2 A Mother's Love Layout!

Here is a layout I did for the Cuttlebug Blog (www.cuttlebugblog.blogspot.com) This is my 2nd project for May--Mother's Day Theme!!

The patterned paper/cardstock is Bo Bunny (provided to me by www.crazyscraps.com our awesome sponsor..check them out..they have daily deals which are SUPER!!)

I am usually the one taking the photos I excited to do a layout with my kids and I! They are truly my whole world..I am so thankful that I was blessed with these two! They make being a mom so much fun and easy! I am very lucky!

I used the following products:

Tartan 5x7 cuttlebug embossing folder (photo mats)

Cricut Mother's Day Cart "Mom" cut at 1 3/4 inch-both regular and shadow cut

Cricut Sans Serif "I LOVE YOU" cut at 1 inch-both regular and shadow cut

Green Primas and a couple brads

A hand punch to punch the photo corners

A punch for the brown border

Cat's Eye Ink to ink around the photo mats

I added some dimensional tabs to the back of "Mom" to make it stand out!

And the patterned paper that has the poem on it pulls out so my children (or who ever reads it) can see the words I wrote to them (which is hidden)

I hope you like it! Please feel free to leave me comments!

Also, if you haven't joined us yet at the Cuttlebug Blog..come on over! I would love to see your projects this month!

The poem I found online and it reads:

A Mother's Love

A Mother's love must always be strong,

her work is hard, her day is long.

But all in all, she is truly blessed,

for there is nothing so warm

as a crowded nest.

Challenge (for 2 blogs)

So one challenge issued by JustBugginChallenges is to use "glitter" so I used some glitter glue on the letters and added some glittery looking embellishments...then for the Practical Scrappers blog you had to use 3 different ribbons..which I did a solid, a polka-dot and a ric-rak one (the stem) I used the Sans Serif for the word...

Altered Journal for a lady on Cricut MB

There was a request for a lady to get some altered journals for her to take to the Ronald McDonald house and I was happy to make one for Kim to take..here is what I came up with!! I used my cuttlebug Mickey folder and used some button leaves....I used the Sans Serif cricut cart to cut the words out. I am not sure why the picture came out so dark but it isn't really that dark..LOL!!
