More bloghop layouts

Let's Scrap bloghop is nearly over and I've managed to complete all the layout challenges... here are my last two:

Bloghop 8 - create a travel inspired layout and use one of the supplied quotes.

The quote I used is : “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Henry Miller

These photos were taken on Mother's Day last week... aren't you impressed (?) I have actually scrapped CURRENT photos!  And even more impressive it's not just one layout but two... the other one is the actual photos to commemorate Mother's Day (see below).

Bloghop9 - use the sketch provided and do some sewing... by machine/hand/drawn

I did only hand-drawn sewing... to much to do by hand and I can't unpack my machine yet as the table is covered in stuff that still needs to be sorted after the repainting of my scraproom!

So that's the bloghop challenges done.  Now to complete the rest of the NSD challenges.... here is one of them...

NSD#10 - create a layout about mothers and a card from the leftover scraps

I cut a piece of pink card from the back of the photo to use as the base of my card, scalloped the one edge and used leftover patterned paper to decorate the front and inside.

This is the card open... I'm still trying to decide on the actual "sentiment" of the card and will finish it properly when I give it to someone.
