Mother Poem

Hi! I hope you had a great weekend. The few days we get of a real spring are just gorgeous.
I put together this design around the poem you see. I used fonts Aubrey and Apple Butter. I had a leaf shape, doubled it, placed the two the way you see them and just added the green style on them. Then added the bow. Nothing fancy, really.
The design is about 8" square, pretty big, I know. You can make it smaller if that's your desire.

This freebie for personal use is a 300 dpi, .png file, shadows on the bow only.
Go scrap! :)

Mother Border

This is a cute idea I had, that can be used as a border on a Mother's day layout. I thought of socks hanging on a line, so I ran with the idea.
I started with the line, added the letters in Elephant font, then added a different pattern on every single one. After that I duplicated each one, so I still have the original in the file, and rasterized the copy. Why? so I can apply a transform on each letter, so they look like the wind is moving them around.
Then I added the clothespin and duplicated it for each letter. I applied a shadow on the pins only, the rest you can add a shadow later, if you wish.
Then I did the "My BFF" in MV Boli font, I warped the text and added a style to it (denim).
And that's that.

This personal use freebie is about 3.5x11", 300 dpi, .png file, with some shadows.
Scrap it!

Happy Mother's Day

This is a cute frame I decided to use for Mother's day that's coming up quick.
Nothing fancy, it just looks great. The whole thing is one .png file, 300 dpi, with some shadows.
I used font Dragonwick, which I really like. A lot. :)

Always, personal use only. Have fun with it!

Mother & Child

It has been said that a lot of ink has been used in writing for many subjects: wars, Christ, mothers.
I used this old fashioned clip art to showcase a well known poem that doesn't have a known author.
By the way, I just wanted to share something very sweet I heard the other day. Watching TV, someone was interviewing Beyonce Knowles and asked about her newborn baby girl. Ms Knowles said: "Now I know why I was born." I thought that was beautiful, because you can have many accomplishments in life, but until you find yourself looking into the eyes of a brand new being, you don't care to realize many things. It's like your eyes have been opened for the first time.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy today's freebie.

I will post something later for tomorrow, but I won't be logging in. My son is calling for Mother's day. He's serving a mission in Puerto Rico, and he's loving it there.

Have a great weekend!

Home is...

Hi again! It doesn't matter if it's a hut in the jungle or a highrise in Manhattan, the place you were raised by your mother will always be home.
I don't know if you've heard the song "The House That Built Me," sang by Miranda Lambert. If you're into country you probably have. In the song, she goes back to the old house where she grew up and she walks through the different rooms, remembering.
The following is part of the lyrics:

You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.

If I could just come in I swear I’ll leave.
Won’t take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.

I'm sure you're wondering why I mention this. Well, I mentioned before that in 2007 my husband and I took the children on a trip to Argentina, so they could meet the other side of the family. It was very bittersweet, and the saying that goes "you can't go home again" is so true.
My family has moved out of the house I called home. We drove to it and stopped accross the street and I couldn't believe so many changes the new owners made to it. It wasn't the same place at all! Heartbreaking, really.

Anyway, I saw this cute mushroom house and thought of the phrase and put it all together for you to take home as a freebie. Don't forget that the art is only for Personal Use.
