Moms

I once heard a great quote in a movie and traced it back further than I expected : Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children. ~William Makepeace Thackeray

For most of us, they are the most important women in our lives. Moms are everywhere. We are moms, we have moms, we are momma wannabes. Even as adults we are still the children of our moms.

Posh Designs owner, Nini is a mom but in this layout, she reflects upon her own mom, and quite beautifully I might add.

Having used a variety of items for this layout we'll take a closer look at just a few.

Prima Whispers She's used a few around the edges of her picture
Prima Frillies Using just one to add punch and colour

When looking to add embellishments to your layouts, take a moment to think about what reflects the person in the picture or in some cases the event.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. ~Attributed to Claudia Ghandi

Piggy Tale Pig Tail Springs
What a great way to add dimension to a layout! At only $3.99, it's also easy on the pocketbook.

This is a fun way to make your pictures "pop". Think outside the box or in this case off the page. 3-D layouts are a great way to preserve your memories and keep them fun.


Prima Say it Crystals and Kaiser Craft Pearls

Both items add a little "bling" to your layouts and don't you think that every mom deserves a little bling?

So I leave you with one last thought from Oscar Wilde : All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his. ~ The Importance of Being Earnest, 1895
