Hi All, and Welcome to another blog hop with the Art with Heart Team lead by the talented Claire Daly. This blog hop was inspired by Mother's Day being close, and so we have our wonderful theme this time of women in our lives. It has been great to think about, as there has been many wonderful women (including our mothers) in our lives and its been great to reflect on that.
We have many great women in our Team at Art with Heart and they are the best business support team as well. I never thought I could have fun with my hobby and find a whole new world out there to help me with it. Email me if you want to know more about this great world and I would be happy to invite you into my crafting world.
Anyway off to the hop....You may have just hopped over from Kathryn Mangelsdorf's Blog, but if this is your first stop thats fine, as the blog hop does a complete circle. There is also some "Blog Candy" to be in the running for at the end. All you have to do it go to every one of the 14 wonderful Blogs involved, have a look at their creation on "women in our lives" and leave a comment. Once you have left a comment on every page send Nikki Sadler an email saying so, and your name will be put into the draw for a lovely prize.
There is a deadline of 72 hours to leave your comments and only non SU demos are eligible to win - although we'd love all visitors to leave some comments please. The deadline for leaving comments is the 3rd May 2010 at 6am
Anyway on with the show.
My very first paper passion was scrap booking, so I thought why not reflect on a wonderful woman in my life and put my thoughts on paper. I haven't Scrapped properly for a very long time and have only in the last week or so really been enjoying it all over again.
My creation in this blog hop shows my scrap page of my Mother-In-Law and my Daughter. A wonderful woman we lost too early, and my daughter who will be a significant woman in my life in the years to come. They were the only photo's we have of them together so it was an honor to use them on this blog.
I used Cottage Wall DSP, Cottage Garden Stamp Set, Rich Razzleberry Ink,Extra large two step bird punch , (All available in our new Autumn-winter mini Catalogue), Kiwi Kiss Card Stock and ink. It have been a pleasure sharing my page with you but I must let you go off to Nicole Rouillon's Blog to see what wonderful delights she has made to share with us.
What a treasured memory for you and your family, Alisha. Thanks for sharing your lovely scrapbook page with us (and welcome to the first of many blog hops with our team!).

I can see your gift of art. I am a failure in scrap booking. You have a gift to share and i can't wait for you to post more pics of your scrap books.

Alisha, you have been such an inspiration. I am beginning to grow interest with scrap booking. Wonderful memories deserves nothing less than to be preserved.
