Scrap Whispers Challenge #21
Time for a new Scrap Whispers challenge!!!! Today in England it is Mothers Day. Your challenge therefore is to create a layout with a " Mother" theme. Perhaps you want to express your feelings on what it is like to be a Mum/Mom. What do your kids think about their Mum/Mom. What about your own relationship with your Mother.
Recently I "interviewed" my kids and got some interesting answers. I decided that this was a perfect opportunity to scrap their answers. Here's my take on the challenge:

The Real Deal
Just some fun photos of Dylan and Zach playing outside in the sunshine!! Dylan loves to play the big brother role to Zach and Zach loves it! All materials used are from the March Scrapbook Circle kit.Challenges:
Mon Ame Memories- Tara posted a quote challenge on the forum. You can use any quote you want, but it must be included in the layout. I choose this fun Dr. Seuss quote "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."
One Little Word- This weeks word is "Real".
Creative Scrappers- I used this sketch for as my inspiration.

Step Into My World
Today is MARCH 12th!!!!! Time to get out those camera's and start snapping away! Definitely one of my favorite days of the month. It's always so cool to go back and look at all your pictures. A sure way to see inside someones life.
Last night I finished my February 12th layout---just in time! I had a lot of fun with this layout. Did a lot of sanding and distressing. Fun stuff!
Challenges:
12 of 12: 12 random picture taken throughout the day on the 12th of the month.
Scrapping the Music: My title is from this week's song--"Hello" by Sugarbomb. The "step into my world" line was just perfect for this layout!
Mon Ame Memories: Calia posted a fun recipe challenge this week on the forum. My layout had to contain the following "ingredients"---
* 2 or more photos
* 3 patterned paper
* 6 flowers
* Journaling
* Felt
* Butterflies
* Some bling (glitter, stickles, gemstones)
Pencil Lines: I used this weeks sketch for my layout.

Felt Flowers
I have been crazy about FELT lately! Crazy! I love creating different little embellishments with it. Everyone who purchased a March Moments to Remember kit received 2 little button posies that I made out of felt. I had so much fun making them. So much fun that I decided to see what else I could make! Buying embellishments in the store can get so pricey, but if you take the time you can make a lot of the same things at home!
This month I am going to show you how to make some really cute felt flowers. It's super easy and requires very little supplies. I actually found a tutorial on this on YouTube. If I can find the link again I will post it for you later.
Supplies:
Felt
Scissors
Needle/Thread
Small embellishment---jewel, brad, button
Let's get started!
Step 1: Gather your supplies
Step 2: Cut 4 "U" shape pieces from the felt (you can just freehand this--it doesn't have to be perfect). The larger the pieces, the larger the flower.
Step 3: Fold your petal in half.
Step 4: Fold each side down one more time (see picture, not sure how to describe this).
Step 5: Using your needle and thread, sewing through each fold.
Step 6: Repeat steps 3, 4, & 5 for all pedals. Do not cut your thread, just sew it to the previous pedal.
Step 7: Tie a knot in your thread and cut.
Step 8: Turn pedal over so you don't see your stitching and place a small embellishment in the center.
That's it!!! Now you have a cute little (or big depending on what you created) flower that looks just like you bought it in the store. I can't wait to make some more!!!!!!
