I just came across this photo album I created for my Nine Ladies lunch group a few years ago.
My friends absolutely loved this little party favor, and I thought it would make a fabulous Mother's Day gift.
I got the idea from this Martha Stewart wedding project.

Back then I thought it would translate nicely into a sweet girlfriend gift.
Today I think it would be a great Mother' Day project!
All it takes is some cardstock, a ruler, an Exacto knife, some photo corners and...
a handful of photographs.....
a handful of photographs.....
I had been taking pictures of my friends at every luncheon for a few months until I had exactly what I needed/wanted....
this was back in "99....I didn't have any fancy-shmancy digital camera or photoshop on my computer....
heck, I'm not even sure I had a computer then....
I had to actually go to a store(!!!) and have these developed into the warm sepia tone wanted.
I used nubby watercolor paper (because I just loved its texture)
Then I used those old fashioned photo corners to mount each picture to its *page*.
drum roll pleeeeeze.....
ta da!
If you make yours and fill it with family photos your mama will positively melt.
I guarantee it.
Happy Mother's Day!
Love,
ps: a special shout out to my baby girl Jaime who is hoping to celebrate her very first Mother's Day this weekend.
she's five days overdue.
stay tuned......
I did this same thing and did '10 things i love about you' for each of my children on Valentine's Day--3 years later, they ALL still have them on display in their rooms. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso popping in to see if you are still up for creating that bracelet for me. ?? :) I had put my mom to finding a 'c' spoon and an 's' spoon, but you guys were pretty busy with the show...
Always loved that project.
