One of the sweetest Mother's Day gifts I ever received was a scrapbook layout featuring various pictures of my daughter and a slew of her homemade art projects. My sister-in-law did an amazing job creating a photo collage using my daughter's artsy masterpieces to embellish the page, along with several cute quotes detailing why she loves her mommy so much.
Sniff, sniff. I love that layout.
Fortunately, the page design is easy to duplicate for a mother of one or many. The collage requires at least five stand-out photos which can be placed in a random shape. You could also arrange the images so they form a heart shape or spell out the word "MOM."
As for peppering the scrapbook page design with quotes, personalization is a very nice touch. If you have the means to obtain contributions from family members, I would highly recommend doing so. However, if you don't have the ability to gather memorable quotes about mom from relatives, you can make a similar impact by featuring a few of these famous sayings about the woman we wouldn't be alive without:
"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother."--Abraham Lincoln
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity; it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."--Agatha Christie
"Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own."--Aristotle
"A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take."--Cardinal Mermillod
"A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary."--Dorothy Canfield Fisher
"I really learned it all from mothers."--Dr. Benjamin Spock
"If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylum would be filled with mothers."--Edgar Watson Howe
