Scrapbook Layout ~ Happy Mother's Day Mom

Hi Bloggers - 
Last year, I purchased a scrapbooking program called Scrapbook Max so I could create my own digital sentiments and now it is time to start using it for scrapbook layouts. So, today I have my first scrapbook layout creation. This layout features my mom.
I selected a brick background, added some newsprint corners - typed in Happy Mothers Day ~ MOM - and added a framed picture. I think I will create more layouts now that I am learning the program.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your crafting day.
