Mother's Day

I hope all the mums had a great day yesterday.  Mine turned out to be just so lovely... my family are so supportive of me and made sure I didn't have to do a thing all day (except eat and sip champagne).  I wanted to make this page while the memories were fresh so my journaling told the complete story.  I don't usually type my journaling, preferring hand writing (warts & all) but there was quite a long story to tell.



So, I chose a very simple layout, based on a card I'd seen by Kimberley Thomas on Pinterest.  This gave me lots of room for the story.  The paper is from  the Ivy Lane papers and the embossing pattern is the Quatrefoil folder.  The gold shimmer trim came from the Ivy Lane Card Making Kit.



I love the silhouette ladies in this Mothers Day stamp set (C1577).  I didn't use the full length of the ladies, preferring the cameo look  on the ovals.  I know I will use the other sentiments from this set on pages about my daughter and in my Book of Me when I get to the pages about my relationship with mum.
