Mother's Day Tea

For Mother's Day one year, I took my Mama out for high tea at a swanky resort in Tucson. She loved to go "have tea." She even hosted "tea" for her girlfriends and made a lovely scone herself. But this fancy, swanky tea was quite memorable because instead of it being a quiet, civilized, dare I say "cultured" event it was filed with rambunctious little girls who couldn't sit still. Apparently the hotel had a promotion geared toward "girls" taking their Moms to high tea. We had a grand time watching the mothers trying to relax while attempting to corral their fidgety kids. And I remember the resort didn't offer the same promotion the next year. This is my tribute to my Mother's love and this memory.

Oh, I still have a few of her fine china tea cups and saucers that she used for her teas. Used a friend's photos of her high tea experience in London.

Process notes:
I used SolidPaper No. 2 as my base. I placed several of the paint overlay No 1 in the upper half to create a light watercolor wash over the page. Also added a transfer at 35% opacity to give it more of tablecloth look. Place my tea cups and masked them into the background. Applied a colored pencil PhotoShop filter to both. Add the crochet element under the tea cups and place to create a shadow and give it a doily look. Placed wordART from the 5 x 5 Mothers Layered Template Album as the final touch.

Thanks for looking.
A beautiful memory and page! Love the swiss dotted paper! This brings back some childhood memories. My grandmother would have tea parties for the "girl" cousins.
 
When I miss someone, I scrap a related memory...I can imagine you creating this while remembering this fond time with your Mama...ever so lovely.
 
Your tea service makes a pretty Mother's Day page but I can't put high tea and fidgety kids into the same thought.
 
I went with my girlfriend to a high tea at the Biltmore in NC - it was delish and so much fun! love the tea set and thanks for sharing this memory of you and your mom!
 
Trs beau souvenir et trs belle page toute douce, j'aime le fond de la page.
 
What a great quote, so lovely and so right, love your story, this is a such a super and warm tribute to your mom, I love this special great page very much!!
 
This is truly a fancy tea layout and reminds me of photographs in the Victoria Magazine. I love scones and tea. It sounds like the event was to be a very sweet one, with good intentions, but didnt turn out so. Your memorable page is perfection.
