Celebrating Mothers: Vintage Mother's Day Challenge

It's May, and what could be a more perfect challenge theme than Vintage Mother's Day?  This time of year we take a day to appreciate and celebrate our mothers and all that they do for us.  (And grandmothers and aunts and mothers-in-law too!)  And shouldn't we just thank ALL Moms on Mother's Day, for everything they do! (And do the same for all Dads on Father's Day, of course.)

I remember my mother telling me that you wear a pink rose on Mother's Day if your mother is still living, and a white rose in remembrance if she has passed on.  Her mother died a year before I was born, so she always wore a white rose on this Sunday.  Now here is my white rose for her. (The picture of the mother teaching her little girl to play music above is for her also, because my mother was a musician.  She loved cats, too, so she would like the orange kitty above!)

I look forward to seeing all your wonderful Vintage Mother's Day creations in the next two weeks of the challenge.  Take a moment to visit here for some vintage style Mother's Day images and inspiration: http://lunagirl.com/collections/mothers-day

• This challenge (#27) will end at Noon (Central Time) on May 18.

MICHELE STORMS:
" i made a bunch of mother's day cards so there will be more coming!"

PETRA BERENDSEN:
"For the new challenge I created a card using one of the lovely images from your Mother's Love digital collage sheet. I layered it on designer paper and combined it with stamped ribbon, some half pearls, paper flower and some stitching." 

VICKI ROMAINE:
"I used the vintage Lunagirl image on a sheet of music which had been distressed.  A strip of ornate stickers were  added to the card."
