Motherhood ~ April 2024 Friends Of Unity Blog Hop

 Welcome to the April 2024 Friends of Unity blog hop.  The hop inspiration is "Mother's Day".  I hope that you will join in on the fun.  Simply comment on each blog in the hop.  See the end of this post for your next stop.

But first I want to share an older mixed media page that I made a few years ago, honoring my dear Mama.  She was full of hope!  Mother’s Day holidays have been particularly difficult for me without her these past years.  But, I am still thankful and honored to be the best mom that I can be, because of her.  So, for today’s post, I am celebrating motherhood in her honor and on her birthday month.

For the older project above, I used two (now retired) SMAK stamp sets called Be Fearless and also Unleash Your Happy.  These kits are no longer in production so I noted them here in case you have them in your stamp collection.  I will add links below to similar stamps which will have similar looks.  A quick video of the project is down below.

Before we begin, I want to announce my winner of the March 2024 blog hop and also reveal my new giveaway for April 2024.

This is a quick video clip of my past mixed media project page.

I also made a Mother's Day card for the hop. This one features a floral background made into a card topper plus a metallic stamped sentiment. Let's honor all of the Moms out there and those who love like mothers do.

Sentiment: Happy Mother's Day. You are lovely. One more look at the card.

And here is a short video of the card process.
