I have been blessed with a wonderful mother. I am so thankful for her unconditional love. It could have turned out differently, her own mother wasn't loving and still can be hurtful and critical. I guess my mother saw what she didn't want to be and put her heart and soul into bringing up my brother and I (w/my dad's help).
My mother has influenced the type of mother that I have become today and I am so thankful for all her hard work with me! Now, she is a wonderful Grandmother to my girls, they adore her and I love seeing them follow her around. I love you mom!
This is a Kaisercraft wood album and I used October Afternoon papers. The stamps are my favorite from Pink Persimmon, the Small Banner Set (only $13!!) and I also used the Soda Pop Alpha stamps.
You can see the other lovely mini albums made by the Pink Persimmon DT by clicking HERE and scrolling through the whole week!
I used the Journaling Ticket stamp ($3.50!) here, I stamped two times in a row and cut them out together.
I used the Journaling Ticket stamp ($3.50!) here, I stamped two times in a row and cut them out together.For the chippy paint, I used a technique that I learned from Katie Watson, I painted with acrylic paint and in between coats I used rubber cement to resist the paint. When it is dry, you rub off the rubber cement. I learned that this technique is time consuming!
I like the simpler look of this mini, the preschool one too. Both have less embellishments than I have made in the past and I love that!
