A LO without pictures

With Mother's Day just around the corner (next Sunday in fact!) I was looking to do a LO that reflected what I had learned in the 33+ years I had been a Mother.  Hysterical's Challenge in UKS to scrap without a photograph seemed the ideal opportunity to have a go.  I must admit to not quite understanding what a LO without a photograph would be like, and I did a bit of research.  There are some amazing LO's scrapping "things" such as letters, invitations and such like but I wanted to scrap my thoughts.

I scraplifted a LO I found and fell in love with on Pinterest, in exactly the same place I found the quote.  I think its so appropriate for where we, as a family are. Tony will be 34 in September and has learned that life is not easy.  He has made his mistakes and is doing his best to be a good father to his children despite all the rubbish he has to put up with.  Beatrice is almost 21 and Freddie is going to be 19.  Both BB and Freddie  are adults but both scare me witless.   I need to learn that they must make their own mistakes, They need the room to grow and fly but they also need to know where they can come if ever they need me.  They need their roots.

I used a pale blue American Crafts cardstock for the background.  Cut the tree and bird using Cricut "Serenade" cartridge.  The Red title was cut using Plantin schoolbook and I printed the brown part of the title directly onto my card stock using Simply Glamorous font.  I then pricked and doodled all the faux stitching.  Flowers were just punched from scrap card stock, doodled and had buttons placed in the centre.
