In Honor of Moms for Mother's Day!

This is my second Mother's Day without my Mother.  I would like to dedicate this post to all the Mom's out there.   
Altered Pages has many images that would make beautiful cards and gifts for moms!

Mothers love anything that is made from the heart.  I know first hand. When I was in the second grade I made a mug from clay. It was glazed and fired and I was really proud to give my special gift to mom. It was crudely made and way  too small to use for drinking. For years she kept little things in it on a book shelf. When I was about 18 I told her she could toss that ugly little mug. Her reply, "Oh no, this is a precious gift from my beautiful daughter."

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Make that special gift for your very special Mom! 
No matter what it is she will love it!

Supplies: 
Wooden Shaped Heart
Paper Roses
Self stick Pearls
Trim

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
