With Mother's day in the US upon us (May 12th), I find I am inspired by pages showcasing Moms. My mother was a huge influence in my life and we were the best of friends. She passed away at a young age (54). Not a day goes by that I do not think of her, or am influenced by something that she taught me or gave me. It no longer saddens me that she is not here physically, as she is always with me, but I smile at the memories and scrap them. Here is a page I love (of Mom and I) that I made using Pink Reptile Design's "Love the Life You Live kit"

Here I used a gradient black to transparent mask on one paper to blend into the other to create the blended background paper. I also added a gray/black gradient to the top of my round frame to create the illusion of a bent photo.
I hope you get some inspiration from my page to create your own page to celebrate your own Mom, or you and your children. If you are a Mom and are celebrating this weekend, Happy Mother's Day!
