Description:
For this week’s challenge I did a LO on my mother, as she is the person who has influenced my life the most. I have included the following elements:



1. I picked a sink mat, wire and nail polish as items from my house that are NOT a normal scrapbook supply.



2. My journaling contains 301 words.



3. The basis of my LO is the shirts in my closet. I hang them so I can see all the sleeves, and then better chose by color, hence the tilted matting.








I have used the following products on my LO:



Sink Mat: in Black from Bed, Bath and Beyond.



Wire: from Sav·on Drugstore.



Nail Polish: Anna Sui’s Nail Color in 003. MY MOM’S FAVORITE.



Cardstock: Bazzill Basics in Petalsoft, Romance, and Petunia.



Patterned Paper: Karen Foster Design’s in Groovy Green Stripe.



Stencil: Making Memories



Paint: Making Memories in Hibiscus from the Tropical pack and Manilla from the



Flowers: (made from fabric) Wal-Mart, and The Natural Paper Company’s Mulberry Paper Dogwood Flowers in Magenta.



Brads: Making Memories Pewter flower and round Decorative brads in pewter.



Ribbon: May Arts



Stickers: Stickopotamus Label Lingo in Spring and EK Success Inspirables simply botanicals in Love, and Jolee’s boutique money stickers from Monopoly money stickers.



Stickers with rub-on words: EK success Inspirables simply botanicals in Square Pink Daisies and Round Purple Pansies.



Bottle Caps: Li’l Davis Designs in Family.



Ink: ColorBox in Violet, Peony, Pink and Lime.



Quote plate: Making Memories Details in Mothers.








The journaling is in the mini book, and reads as follows:



The person who has had the biggest influence in my life is without a doubt my mother.



I have learned a lot from reading books, magazines, newspapers; watching TV and movies, as well as real life, -but the most important things I have learned from my mother.



I have learned about:



Being spiritual: I like my mother’s way of being Christian. Her belief is very personal to her; she doesn’t try to convince other people that her way of seeing the world is the right way. I am very happy, that she has passed on this non-judgmental attitude to me. It helps me a lot in everyday life.



My career choice: My mother always supported me in my decisions whenever I tried on a new profession, but when I told her a wanted to study nutrition, she said… that is SO right for you…..-and as so often before, -she was right.



Financial strategies: “Don’t spend money you don’t have.”



We had very little money, but even as a single mom of two daughters, she still managed to buy a house and keep us well clothed and fed.



How to deal with problems: She has an ability to change problems into advantages.



When I have a problem or a question I can always go to her for guidance and she will help me find my way….



Deal with people:



“You can’t help people, unless they want to be helped. It must come from within.”



-And when I was 5 and didn’t know any better, on why she hadn’t tried to get my father back “If he doesn’t want to be here, I don’t want him here”.



She has left some of herself – an indelible print in my heart and my soul.



Thank you Mom!



I love you
