I spent last weekend working on the most fun project for my mom!
♥
I picked up these strawberry shaped coasters at Target a couple of months ago - got 'em
out of the dollar bin knowing that I'd be turning them into something for my mom.
She likes strawberry stuff. :o)
I loved working on this project for so many reasons! I loved the bright happy colors, the sentiments that came to me for journaling, the collection of photos I used, and knowing that I was creating something that my mom would enjoy looking at many times over.
The back side of the strawberry coasters were plain, so I backed them with cardstock and/or patterned paper. Strips of journaling were printed from a Word document then cut, glued, and traced around with a black marker. Looking at these photos, I'm really glad I took the time for some basic doodling, as I think it makes the embellishments pop.
Here's a look at all the pages laid out ~
And for those of you that are interested, here's a look at all the tools I used to create this mini-book ~
What a fun way to spend last weekend, making something for my sweet mom!
:o) ♥
