Hip Hop Thursday!

It's Hip Hop Thursday and it's all about MOMS! Hooray! As always be sure to start the blog hop with Angela over on the Unity blog.

Being a mom is the most wonderful thing in the world. There's so much I could say about being a mom to my two boys. You can actually see a layout I created about becoming a mom on the cover of the May issue of Scrapbook Trends coming out soon! :) But today I am going to focus on MY mom. She is, in one word, AMAZING. She has been there for me through everything - the good times and, well, the not so good times. So today is all about you mom (you better be reading this! LOL). Thank you for being you!


I used the sweet little bird on a branch image from the April Kit of the Month on this layout. It is so adorable and I love that you can just color it to match any patterned paper you are using. So cute!


I also used the "our story" sentiment from the Our Life, Our Stories in Words kit (UK- 343A) on my chipboard tag. The journaling on this layout is all about how I've been told all my life that I look "just like mom" and I didn't really see the resemblance until I got older. Now I feel so lucky to look like her because she is one of the most beautiful people I know inside and out.

Now head on over to your next stop on the blog hop ...
