Scrap it With a Song- So much of ME...... Layout

Hi scrappy folks! There's a new song live at Scrap it with a Song. The Rock Chicks created projects inspired by the song "For Good" from Wicked a Broadway Musical.  I was inspired by the lyrics "So Much of Me, is Made of what I Learned from You". My dads passing has been really hard and I find myself thinking of him daily. I created a layout around him.

Authentique May Sketch Challenge /Berry 71 Bleu May Challenge

Happy Monday scrappy pals!! Hope everyone's Mothers Day rocked. Mine was very enjoyable. The hubby was the chef and we invited my sis, mom and mom in law to join us. Anyhow I saw this cool sketch over at Authentique May Sketch Challenge so I figured I would participate. Berry 71 Bleu has a mother's may challenge that I was inspired by so I decided to draw inspiration from that idea as well. (Quote used is under picture of layout). I took a picture of me and my daughter Jolie snuggling. I just know pretty soon she won't want to do that as she grows up.

Motherhood

Berry Bleu quote located under the first tag and it says:

A mother's love perceives no impossibilities.
