My project tonight, uses the brand new set, Clearly Sentimental about Mothers.  If there is one thing I get sentimental about it... it's my kids.  I was literally tearing up as I was making this project.  Just seeing their sweet little faces makes me melt!  These pictures were taken in a photo booth at the mall.  Every time they see one, they can't help but jump in there and start being goofy.  *giggle*  I thought it would make a fun piece of home decor.  These pictures have been propped up on my stamp table for many months and I wanted to incorporate them into something I could display.  These pictures make me SMILE and the sentiment is SO true.  :)  My favorite thing is being a mother!

I got this frame at Target a couple years ago.  It has a nice, deep "shadow box" type construction, which allowed for lots of layers and embellishing. 


 Ready to hop along?  There is SO much more to see!  :)  Your next stop on the hop, is Melody!  I am quite certain she has something BEAUTIFUL to show you!  Thanks for stopping by.
