Mothers Day Framed Collage

A Mothers Day framed collage takes the place of a card.  So, I set out to create the collage and frame it.  I had so much fun doing the project, I did 2 more, one for my daughter and one for my daughter-in-law.

Create this project with the papers, stamps, inks of your choice.  It’s a great time to use up the papers that are sit and wait to be used. Because, I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, and have retired products in my stash, this is a great project to use the stash.
