POEM To My Mother
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above, The angels, whispering to one another, Can find, among their burning terms of love, None so devotional as that of “Mother,” Therefore by that dear name I long have called youYou who are more than mother unto me, And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you In setting my Virginia’s spirit free. My mother- my own mother, who died early, Was but the mother of myself; but you Are mother to the one I loved so dearly, And thus are dearer than the mother I knew By that infinity with which my wife Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life. To My Mother - Poem by Edgar Allan Poe

360°LIFE COLLECTION This year I began my 360°Life Collection, which is an inspirational series that celebrates your life - all 360 degrees of it. It is designed to be used for daily or weekly layouts that reflect on more than just the day to day. It is comprehensive, offering prompts with words, phrases, questions and quotes to help get your creative juices flowing - for every single day of the month. This month I’ve created Great Outdoors, commemorating the month of May. I love May for it is when Spring truly feels as if it has arrived here in Michigan. Each Collection consists of several full Alphabet Sets, 90+ elements, 21 papers, 30-31 prompts, Date Tabs, Badges, Word Art Titles, matching Cardstock and Glitters. You also receive 4 free Quick Pages with the purchase of the full Collection. This weekend every one of the Collections in this series is only $4 each. This is an amazing opportunity to enjoy the full series at a low, low price! by Aimee Harrison

MY 10 TOP TIPS TO DESIGNS A PAGE My top tips for designing a great page: 1. Always include some journalling, even if it is just a sentence or two or a poem or quote. 2. Always include the date (if applicable). 3. Put a white frame around your photos (if they are not framed). 4. Use masks for your photos for a blended look. 5. Blend background papers together for softer, more arty feel. 6. Spend time choosing a great font for your heading (and always in-

clude a heading) 7. I LOVE using green foliage on my pages. Always. It makes great clustering much easier. 8. Work on your shadowing. Practice and play around. If you like a particular layout artist’s style, ask them how they do their shadows. 9. Try new things! Scrap lift fabulous pages that you see online. 10. Take lots of photographs when you are recording a memory so that you have lots to choose from. by Heartstrings Scrap Art
