Monochromatic Mamas at the Sisterhood!

Happy first Saturday of May! This must mean spring is here to stay here in Ontario. (Please?) And in North America, the start of May means Mother's Day is on its way. The ever-helpful Snarky Sisters are happy to get your Mother's Day crafting in motion with their latest challenge: 

It's Monochromatic Mama! Make a monochromatic Mother's Day project, or if we've missed the occasion where you are, at least something special for Mom. I went with purple for mine, just like our challenge badge, which happens to be one of my mother-in-law's favourite colours. Not snarky, but my MIL just might not appreciate snark the way some of us do. ;)

As usual, I seemed to have trouble photographing purple accurately. The front panel is reasonably close, but the patterned paper isn't that dull in real life. (Aside: why is there so little purple patterned paper in the universe? This comes from a Christmas pad. :D) Finding that my hemp twine was an exact match for my dusty concord distress ink was a nice bonus. 
My contribution may not be snarky, but I think you just might find a little snark over on the Sisterhood blog! We are also welcoming our latest Queen of Snark, Jenna. Then you have two weeks to join us!
