Monthly Challenge for May: "Moms are people too"

With Mom in mind (Mother's Day is on the 8th - don't forget!), I'd like to focus on moms as people. Do a LO that celebrates the woman you are fortunate enough to also call mom. Her childhood, her marriage, her best friends, but something about her that showcases her as the woman she is or was rather than focusing on her as your mother. ALSO, bring back a classic: do some punch art on the page. Look at those punches you've amassed as shapes that can be turned into something else. You could just do some layered embellishments or an elaborate scene. Have fun.

March 2011 TRAKking

Here’s the TRAKking for March 2011 (yes I have a little more downtime now that I'm back at work than I did while on maternity leave!). My cut-off date for late critiques is 4/28. Challenges were optional as usual but I’m recognizing those who responded. Everyone’s # of LOs to critique is different (it’s the total # of LOs minus that person’s own contributions). There were some JFS LOs posted (people requesting critiques on less LOs than they posted) so some of you received extra credit for extra commenting! (No extra credit given for late critiques.) Please let me know if you have any questions.
