In honor of my mother!

In honor of my mother!

Hello everyone – today’s cards are In honor of my mother!

My mother collected ceramic chickens. She had them all over her house. When she passed I got several of them that I now display in my house. When I saw this stamp set and pattern paper I immediately thought of her and had to get both of them.

Today’s Project

The Unity Stamp Company had a recent release. I am not one to purchase things in a release but 2 items caught my eye and brought back memories of my mom.

The images in the Impeckable Silhouettes look like the ones my mother has and now I have a few. Since they were silhouettes I stamped them in black. I will be trying them in other colors just to see what hey look like.

I love the gingham in this paper and the variety of colors used for the same basic pattern paper. I can’t wait to play with them with the retired chicken sets I have. These cards were inspired by ones I saw on Facebook and the Unity site.

I can’t wait to play with this chick and layout using the pattern paper I used today. I may even try and recreate this layout and color the chick similar to the ones in the pattern paper.
