Another three pages and a DCM!

I haven't managed to take part in the Daring Card Makers challenge for a few weeks, mainly due to making scrapbook pages!! This week I've used the theme to make a Mother's Day card for my Mum, I decided not to put Happy Mother's Day on the outside but put it inside instead.

We have arrived at the start of another month which means it is a colour theme based on the birthstone of the month -

Aquamarine.

Its an interesting stone as it comes in various colours - aquamarines come in sea blue; sky blue; blue green and sea green which is a lovely broad sea/sky palette. The crystal structure is hexagonal. It is also associated with the properties of faithfulness, courage and friendship.

The image is from The Graphics Fairy and I was inspired by Caroline's card featuring punched lace on the Fiskarettes site.

And here are another three scrapbook pages. This one features little punched out photos of all the close family, including some who are no longer with us.

My son is a talented musician, but there are not many photographs of him playing. I converted the three photos to black and white to create this monochrome page.
He is also an artist and recently returned to college to study art, most of his work is not at home, so I was somewhat limited in what I had available to use, so lots of my doodling too. I also managed to fit in the 'Stitch' stamp from Stampotique. This is probably my favourite page.
There are another couple of pages which I'll post up tomorrow.
