Belated Mother's Day: A Scrapbooked Home Collage

A lot of the crafts I make, I make as gifts... Therefore, I have to be mindful of when I post pictures to social media or the blog so I don't give away any surprises...

Here's a glimpse at my mom's Mother's Day gift, a week late.

"Wherever we are together, that is home."

My mom and I saw this cool frame/shadow box at the store a few weeks ago and she really liked it. They come in lots of sizes and arrangements but I picked the biggest one I saw because the small ones felt "limiting." The company is 7Gypsies and their website has lots of ideas and products, but the products are also available in a lot of craft stores.

I decided to go with a home theme but another friend of mine made one with a graduation theme, featuring pictures from her parents', her sister's, and her own college graduations.

Other theme ideas include: first days, wedding, birthdays, seasons... GET CREATIVE!

I included pictures of many generations of homes within my family. Like the 7Gypsies slogan says:

"Collections from the journey." 

This collage captures many places that have been a part of my mom's and my family's journeys.
