Here's my layout.
Celebrating Mother's Day, this one is for Mother Earth. What a truly amazing planet we live on.
 And then I thought it needed something more.
As much as I love the white to show off the pic, I always over think, lol, and brought in some blue to the base. Does anyone else fiddle with their pages like me?
I love the way the blue reflects the photo.
Here's some close ups.
Some beautiful fabric blooms from Manor House. I just adore the texture of these. Added some bloomers to compliment.

Some blue bling from my favourite Flourish with a Bling.
Some lovely Imaginarium designs chipboard. I love the way they have fabulous chipboard titles. Added a few clouds to give some texture, used molding paste.
I'm all clouded out atm. I've just painted Sienna's b/d room with a cloud mural to go with her loft bed. She wanted it to feel as though she was floating among the clouds.
Love this pic of my gang. I took it on an afternoon walk along the beautiful bluffs near when we live. It overlooks a magnificient lake. The colour reflected on the surrounding hills is from the lake and the slightly misty, lighly rainy afternoon. So beautiful.
 The blog hop begins now, Sunday 6th of May Australian Eastern Standard Time. You have until midnight on Tuesday 8th of May to enter. The winners will be announced on Saturday 12th of May on our Facebook page, and also on the MHC blog.

Have fun, good luck, and happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums or Moms, daughters of mother's and hopeful soon to be mothers out there.
Thanks for stopping by and wishing you lots of luck for the big prize,
Jeni x
