Are you in a panic realizing that Mother's Day is just 10 days away? Before you start hyperventilating… what is the one thing that Mothers and Grandmothers can never have enough of no matter how rich or poor they are? Pictures of their kids and grandkids!!!
So… how about creating a mini brag book or sending a scrapbook with starter scrapbook pages and add on for every holiday? You can make gift giving easy, inexpensive and most importantly PRICELESS. Today, 2 kits of precreated png scrapbook pages are available at DAISIE COMPANY. There are 3 pages in one and 2 pages in the second. They are designed to mix and match, flip the pages over and make even more layouts. Reduce them to 8" or even 6" size and make a mini brag book for Grandmas.
There are three complete sets of blue hydrangeas scrapbook page duos (one is a trio). Create one book and print a set for yourself, then print additional copies for each Grandmother and they'll never know how easy it was!
Another idea, there two kits of clip art available that these precreated page kits were created out of. Create a beautiful "mat" to highlight a family photo or special snapshot for Mom and send it to her in the frame of your choosing. There are many precreated frames in each of these kits that will finish off your photo very nicely. If you print the "mat" on cardstock and then mount that cardstock on a chipboard base with an opening cut larger than your mat's opening, you will create a lovely shadowbox effect very easily. Also, you will keep your photograph from touching the glass which will keep it safe from condensation.
In addition to the scrapbook sets, I've created a matching take out gift box and mini bag kit with tags, so if you have any other goodies for you Mother or Grandmother you can package them to match! This set is Ready for Mother's Day but also contains blank designs for you to customize for any occasion. There are a bunch of tags and a mini gift card included in the set too, mix and match to make an adorable gift.
I won't post pictures of each, but if you scroll down through my blog, you'll see each of the sets shown in previews. Then to get to them for purchase, notice the DAISIE COMPANY LOGO to the right? That's a live link to my catalog at THE DAISIE COMPANY.
My perfectly Peachy sets came out today also, the 43 pc. set #1 and the 38 pc text add on for Mothers and Grandmothers (and blank for any occasion).
What ever you do for Mother's Day, make sure your Mom, Grandmother, Aunt, Godmother or any other special lady who's been like a mother to you knows you love and appreciate her very much!

I really like the premade pages. The only problem is if I buy them I feel like I should not spend money on the graphics kit but you do such a better job of making pages than I do. 🙂 Must be why you’re the artist and I’m the customer. 😆 (Feel free to use my layouts and recreate them with your kit. Part of why I have them is that I test my kits to make sure that they’re usable and that the pieces work well together, sizes are right etc. So then I have these “left over” pages that become the png/templates/quick pages.

I love your premade scrapbook pages. I am certainly thinking about getting back into scrapbooking and just using the premade pages. That shouldn’t take so long to do a page then and it would be much prettier that what I would come up with.
I don’t have a printer that will print 12 inches wide. What size are your pages? And if they are 12 inches wide, what would I do to compensate? (I can think of a couple of possibilities. If you can print 11″ size them to 11″ and add a border of cut strips taping them to the back side so it looks like a mat. Also, you could buy a paper pack at Michaels of solid colored papers and put this in the center of that paper for a matted effect. Turn it a little on an angle and add some interest. Another option is to do an 8″ book. Just resize the pages to 8″ when you print. You can also print 8.5 x 11 by cropping your page to work on that size (not every layout will work but it’s likely that some would) Hope one or more of these ideas will help! AJ)
Oh, my! I LOVE hydrangeas. My dear late mother had a beautiful bush by the side of the house. How I loved it…and her. Thank you!!
