  • 3 Ways to Spring Surprises for Mom

    #1
    Annual Mother’s Day is again on May 13th, 2007. What’s your gift idea this year for mummy? No ideas? Well, it’s never too late to think of that now, and I’m sure you could make it perfect after reading this article. Yes, nothing special, just show mummy how much you love her! There’s a saying, God could not be everywhere and therefore be made mothers. Even nothing you pick, don’t forget to have a dinner with her or only make a call, regardless how busy you are.
    1. Buy Mom a Bunch of Carnations
    Carnations are chosen to represent the sweetness, purity and endurance of mother love. Pink carnations are the symbol of a mother's undying love; White indicate pure love and good luck; Striped symbolize a regret that a love cannot be shared; Light red carnations represent admiration, while dark red denote deep love and affection.
    As the mother’s flower, it’s also because carnation was the favorite of Anna Jarvis’ mother’s. Then why not pick your mother’s fond flowers as gift?

    2. Prepare Her Favorite Meal
    You know mummy packs meals 7 days a week, so, on this special holiday for mothers, please make her mouthwatering from breakfast to dinner. Treat your mother something she will never forget. But first of all, you need to find out what mom craving.
    For my mother, I’ll prepare the delicious dishes follow this recipe:
    Breakfast – A glass of orange juice, Pineapple sauce pancakes and Bake sausage;
    Lunch – Ham and beans, Cheese soup, Vegetable salad and Creamy Tomato Pasta;
    Dinner - Champagne, Smoked Sausage, Bagel pizza, fruit salad and a Chinese seafood Casserole.

    3. Make Mom a From-Heart-Gift
    In the past year, you should have a lot of treasure memory with mom, and snap it with camera. Therefore, it’s time to share and show the mom she’s special. Certainly, you could ask your dad for help, yes, family members love to make homemade gifts together, I know.
    Here are ideas for a from-heart-gift.
    Mother’s Day e-card
    Pick some pictures, write down the words, such as, “Mommy, I love you!” or “Thank you, mom”, etc. and make some decoration.

    Flash picture album
    It must be interesting to design a flash picture album, since each album tells a full story. And a stunning flash album would make mothers fondle admiringly. Yep, do remember to add pieces of background music to spicy it up.
    Some tools available for a homemade gift:
    Wondershare Flash Slideshow Suite, http://www.flash-slide-show.com
    Google Picasa, http://picasa.google.com
    Greeting Cards, http://www.123greetings.com/
    Some songs maybe you’ll like for mothers:
    Thank you mom by Good Charlotte; Mama by Spice Girls; A song for mama by Boyz 2 Men; Mother of mine by Cathy Ryan; Hey mama by Kayne west; Everything I do by Christina Aguilera

    Last but not least, best wishes for all the mothers.

    We're taking Mum out for brunch. My sister suggested we have breakfast at home, but I don't live that close and I'd have to catch 2 buses on Sunday morning to get there. Sunday buses are almost non existant. So we're going out instead. I'll probably get her some flowers, but bright ones like gerberas. Not font of carnations...

        I'm a new dady. What does my one year old daughter get my wife for mother's day? (Yes, I got in trouble last year because she didn't get anything when my daughter was only 4 months old. I was still just trying to stay awake during the day, let alone really know what day it was.)

          Terry - You could go to a craft store and get one of those plaster kits and make a plaster plaque of her hands or feet with "Mommy" written on the top.

                      My best guess would be some sort of extra-bold version of Optima, like an Optima Black italic/oblique.

                      Awesome-I need to learn Blender and can't wait, but I find sketching the basis of all art. I started sketching daily, but man, ugh after years of being absent from the creative field-in fact the exact...

                      Commented to Whiskers
                      Crotch whiskers? LOL.
                      Not sure about style but they are just normal wear patterns you want to laser on the jeans (cool process btw).
                      As for doing them in Photoshop...my question to you is...

                      I just don't understand your reasoning for everything, especially on this latest card. Why the random shapes bleeding off the edge? Why is there so much space between your name and the "web, print,...

                      Commented to Gerber Software
                      Which Gerber software?
                      Next question, why not import from Adobe to Gerber. We use signwares often. For output. Rarely for design (though some things are far easier to do in sgnwares over Illustrator...)

                      I do not believe there is Blur to Halftone button in Illustrator.
                      Any time I want to do a vector halftone (with dots), I use Rasterbator (bad name, good program)
                      But maybe what you are wanting...
