A Mother's Love...

Happy Monday!   

My mojo is slowly returning after a few weeks of going AWOL and not being able to focus on anything crafty!   Today I am sharing a layout I created using some of my old October Afternoon "Sassparilla" stash!   When I first saw this collection, I did not really care for it, but after creating a layout with it a couple of months ago, I fell in love with it.  Some of the scraps I had left were perfect for the photos I used in this layout.   For the background, I used a sheet of patterned paper from an old DCWV "Blue Jeans" stack that someone had given me a few years ago. 

This layout was inspired by the sketch below for the April Sketch/Stash Challenge at 

Scrap Our Stash
