Making Scrapbook Gifts For Mom; Three Gifts To Make Your Mother's Day

Traditional Mother's Day presents include flowers and chocolates

. While these are lovable choices, they perish. This time around, why not opt for a gift that your dear Mom can cherish for a lifetime?

Scrapbooking is a wonderful hobby that crafts a treasure from any memory or event. Giving your mom a scrapbook deeply and personally shows your love and appreciation for her.

The Star Scrapbook

This little star-shaped scrapbook can be a lovely display for your mom's dresser. Or you can put it in a pretty handbag with a colored ribbon for tying. Whatever the design, these Star Scrapbooks are wonderful presents that any mother will be proud to show off for everyone to admire. Moreover, these are simple to make-see for yourself by checking our youtube video. Search for dinglefootdotcom and star scrapbook for the step-by-step process.

The Mom and Me Scrapbook

You can also create a full-sized scrapbook featuring your memories as mother and daughter. You can put pictures and memorabilia from the time you were born down to the resent. Usually, an album has a title page, 9 double page spreads, and an end page. Make sure to have your scrapbooking supplies at hand to produce something unique

for each page.

Here are themes you can have for each page:

1. Your Birthday - Focus on your mother instead of your baby self.

2. Your Christening - Journal the details of the events-all from your mom's point of view. To add an element of surprise, recount how she felt that day by asking the people close to her.

3. Family Gatherings - Document the times when your family got together for the holidays or other occasions. Aside from the pictures and details, state the role your mom played in those gatherings.

4. Wedding Anniversaries - Include anniversaries you celebrated as a family. Perhaps your Mom married more than

once? Trace the history but keep things pleasant.

5. Mom's Birthdays - Birthdays that brought your family together count. Include invitations, programs, and other memorabilia apart from photos.

6. Family Holidays - Feature the holidays you spent together before you or your siblings left home.

7. Your Graduation - This event is as important to your parents as it is to you. Make sure to include the program, ribbons, and photographs of this event.

8. Previous Mothers' Day - Note what present your family gave her.

9. Wedding Day - Perhaps yours or your mom's.

10. First Grandchild - Include photos and old socks or mittens of your mom's first grandchild, if she has any. If finding the right words to describe your relationship with your mom proves to be difficult, borrow ideas from quotegarden.com and search for 'Mothers'.

Shadow Box

If you don't have ample time to make a scrapbook, opt for a shadow box instead. This is a typical scrapbook page, framed to be hung on the wall as a unique artwork. As the frame is deep, you can create arty three-dimensional

embellishments. You can get a shadow box frame readily from Amazon.

For design ideas, you can check out K and Company's Grand Adhesions. With the use of pads, you can raise some items on the page. For instance, adding a pad to a butterfly icon makes it 3D. If your mom likes flowers, you can use the petal packs from Petaloo or the 20 Blossom Templates from Hot Off The Press. You can even use glitter or gems as accents for the blossom's center. Whether you're using papers, patterns, or vellum, just keep your creative juices flowing.

Be extra creative in your present and make this year's Mother's Day count.
