Step-by-Step: Mother's Day

Photographs with a lot of different colors usually intimidate me. I always second-guess myself while scrapbooking them, so I put them off as long as I can. But when I saw these papers from We R Memory Keepers, I knew that the photos from my daughter's Mother's Day tea would work so well with them! Here's the step by step of "Mother's Day."

Supplies :

• We R Memory Keepers White Out Hoopla paper
• Doodlebug Loopy Lou stickers - Bon Bon
• Making Memories paints
• chipboard flower
• Sakura Micron pen - dark brown

Instructions :

1. Cut photos to 5 ½" x 4", 4" x 2 ½", and 2 ¾" x 1 ¾".
2. Cut patterned paper to 5 ½" x 1 ½", and 4 x 2 ¾" adjusting as needed to stretch across 12" x 12" cardstock.
3. Paint the chipboard flower with two coats of white paint. Allow to dry thoroughly.
4. Using a bunched-up paper towel, dab the chipboard flower with a medium brown paint to create speckled, light color. Allow to dry thoroughly.
5. Using another bunched-up paper towel, dab the chipboard flower with bright pink paint.
6. Cut an orange flower from the patterned paper. Adhere to the center of the chipboard flower.
7. Adhere flowers to the upper left corner of the large photo.
8. Using a ruler and pencil, draw lines to journal next to the top right photograph.
9. Write journaling out in pencil, adjusting as needed to fit in the space.
10. Write journaling out in pen; erase pencil marks.
11. Place stickers in the bottom right corner, starting with the "y" lined up with the patterned paper and working backwards to the "m."
12. Finally, add the year in the loop of the "y" with a pen.
