donna was a long time Pea who was taken from us long before her time. Her last scrapbooking effort had been to complete her kids' albums before time ran out. Many Peas helped with that project. A Pea we have not heard from in a long while, kiwigirl , set up this challenge to keep Donna's memory alive. So now we honour Donna's memory by getting our own photos onto scrapbook pages while WE have time to do that. Each month we set a challenge to get those photos glued onto pages. And we also have a theme.
May, 2022, theme: Mother, May I? Take this any way you like. Create a page about YOUR mother, or ANY mother. Create a page reflecting on BEING a mother. Make a mother's day card. Ya see where I am going with this.... OR, take this as a question for permission--to yourself or to the scrap gods--to try something new and different, as in "Mother, may I splatter PAINT on this page?"
I don't have anything new to include as a sample, but I did finish this page in April in an attempt to meet the March Donna Challenge of Balance. And it would definitely work for this challenge as well.
I have not been good at taking on my own challenges during the month they are posed, obviously, but I hope to complete April's challenge ( Step into the Sunlight) this upcoming weekend. And remember that if you are playing for points, you will earn ONE point per photo scrapped all month no matter the theme, TEN points per page created with each monthly theme, and a BONUS of 25 points for meeting all three Donna monthly themes this quarter.

Here is the facing page for my March page, and it fits the May prompt. For one thing, my dd (the MOM) was asking for advice about which photo to post in an on line abstract for a conference presentation she will be doing. She sent me the responses from her nine year old son to the two pic's. Obviously, he has definite opinions on what Work Mom looks like, as opposed to student mom, or simply "a MOM". Work Mom look by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I hope you get to play with this challenge and get some pages and/or other projects done this month.

Here is my page for Day 1 of the Layout a Day challenge. It's about my mother-in-law. I used a bunch of the new 49 & Market Sherbert collection.

That is such a beautiful page, justjac. And perfect for this challenge. Is all that foliage on the paper? Or did you stamp it on in different colours? (This wasn't the pack I picked up from 49 & Market)

grammadee they’re from the two different laser cut packs from the Sherbert collection. I bought all the things.
