It's (Almost) My Birthday So I Made Myself a Mother's Day Banner

The love between a mother and her child
is a bond of the strongest kind.
It is a love of the present, interwoven
with memories of the past and dreams of the future.
It is an unconditional, forever kind of love. 
-Barbara Cage

 

Sometimes we have to spoil ourselves and make our own Mother's Day gifts. And since my birthday is tomorrow, I figured I would share a recent Glue Dots® project I made featuring my two beautiful girls and yours truly.

Supplies:

Glue Dots Glue Lines®
Fancy Pants Love Birds cards
brown cardstock
brown ribbon (41" long)
brown ink
3 circle photos (2" diameter)
poem (see above)

Step 1: Create brown cardstock mats: 5 for the cards (3.25 x 4.25") and 3 for the photos (2.25" diameter). Attach the photos to the circle mats with Glue Lines®. Set aside.

Step 2: Adhere Glue Lines® to the left and right sides of each card mat to attach the ribbon.


Step 3: Use Glue Lines® to adhere the cards to the mats.



Step 4: Print out the poem, cut into strips, ink the edges and adhere to the cards with Glue Lines®.
