Back to the : Clear Scraps blog
This is the Clear Scraps kit I used to make my mini album!
I also decided to use some Glitz products and some paint!
Here you can see how I thought each page through on how I would assemble!
I can't show you the whole book yet because I wouldn't want my mom to see it online before Mothers day! SO to make it fun, come back on Sunday to see it- leave me a comment here and on Sunday and I will give away a RAK to a lucky winner!

Below is a copy of a card my hubby gave me years ago- I thought this would be a perfect time to share it!
Isn't that awesome? Oh And a Mothers day post is not complete until I share my mother and grandmother- two of the biggest influences in my life!
Have fun blog hopping and don't forget to check back on Sunday! Good luck!

Blessings to you too, Rita. I am so thankful for this blog hop... a prize would be wonderful, but I appreciate that you scrap your faith so beautifully...I am so inspired to tell my story in my future creations. I too have miracles in my life... my littlest guy was born with Downs Syndrome and major heart defect. We even picked "miracle" for his middle name. With God you can face just about anything. thank you for your creativity and inspiration!

I have never ever seen how you make the album like that, how super cute, am going back to the start now and going to do the Hop, sounds like lots of fun, not to mention inspiring, just love the sentiments in that gorgeous card your husband gave you, and so very true. I love the lovely dedications to your mum and her mum too. Love Melxx Have a great day tomorrow Mum.
Love the little book and the birdy papers!
Your mom is sure to love it...can't wait to see it finished. That poem was awesome. Thanks for sharing. Loving the blog hop btw.
I just wanted to take a moment to remind you to cherish you mom while you have her. I lost my mother 6 years ago this month and I miss her every single day. Last week we buried my youngest brother. He went so unexpectedly that we are all still kind of numb. You never know how long you will have the people you love so love them the best you can while you have them.
Hi Rita...
I love your mini. Cannot wait to see the entire thing. Your mom is going to love it.

Gorgeous mini! I can't wait to see the whole thing! Happy Mother's Day!
Oh Rita, this is gonna be SO pretty, I can tell! Can't wait to see it all! Happy Mother's Day!
Very pretty mini! I can't wait to see the rest of it.
I love your work! I can hardly wait to see the rest of your mini. I'm such a "newbie" that I've never used any acrylic, but after seeing what you're doing, I'll have to talk DH into the 270 mile round trip to the nearest craft store.(Yes, I live in the boonies! LOL) Or, put it on the top of my wish list, which is as long as our driveway already. So many things are needed to do this craft, but I'm building my "stash" and hope to play with the "Big Girls" soon! I am liking this "hopping" thing, too. It's my first and I am seeing so much inspiration, it's got my poor brain puckering and un-puckering. teehee
Just found this blog hop and now I can't wait to see what the finished project looks like.
Love this one too!!
Certainly have to come back and see the finished product. Love the combo of chipboard and acrylic.
