Mother’s Day Scrapbook Journaling Ideas

Mother’s Day is around the corner. Have you thought about what you’re going to give to the special Mom in your life? I haven’t really thought about it. I am thinking of creating an 8×8 scrapbook layout of her grandchildren that I can frame so she can display it at home or perhaps another brag book? I did write a tribute to her on my blog for her birthday. Perhaps I should frame that instead and add embellishments to pretty it up. What do you think?

For the tribute I wrote for my Mom, I used this quote:

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness. ~Honoré de Balzac

If you are thinking of creating scrapbook layouts to gift to your Mom or your friends who are Moms, here are some Mother’s Day related poems and quotes that you can use:

Yours were the first eyes I looked into.
Yours were the first arms to hold me tight.
You were the first to show me never-ending love and compassion.
Forever . . . you are my mother
And I am blessed.

A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away…
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking…
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems…
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation…
A many splendour-ed miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.

A Tribute to my Mother
The beauty of nature is forever seen
By oh so many, who don’t know what they mean
The beauty of the trees and their enormous heights
The beauty of the birds and their gift of flight

The sun, moon and stars are God sent lights
Most things we take for granted are beautiful sights
The beauty of them all and the beauty of others
Are no comparisons in the beauty of mothers

They are God’s most precious gift to humanity
The most worked, yet least rewarded thing to be
With all that we put them through, they seldom complain
All the things they do for us, we still view them the same

Have you ever tried to put yourself in her place
When you say your unkind words or grin and make fun to her face
What goes around, comes around, my mom used to say
Well mom, I understand what you meant fully, today

All the love you have shown me, and the unappreciated talks years ago
Are all fresh in my mind, because I’m a mom now, you know
I love you more every minute, every hour and every day that rolls around
I entered into motherhood blindfolded, and God knows what I found

Thank you mom, for what you tried to tell me and forgive me all my wrongs
Thank you for not giving up on me my whole life long
You mean so very much to me, I’m sorry it took so long to say
My beautiful, understanding mother, have a very HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
