The gorgeous lo and colors drew me in, and then I saw all the wonderful details... and then I read the journaling! Has me tearing up. My 3 baby boys are all grown, one with a baby boy of his own, who is growing even faster, if possible, than his daddy did! Love this page. TFS.
oh I have tears in my eyes as I read your journaling... this is so beautiful so heartfelt! You are amazing... and put into words just what I feel when I look at my four boys!
Beautiful Krissy this makes me melt - girl you have so much talent!!! Love the colours and textures on ths page and that photo of Mason has to be one of my favs
This is way too wonderful!! I just love that line of paper and it does go so well with that sweet child of yours. The Fancy rub ons are awesome along with the fiber band along the bottom. Your journaling is priceless and so wonderful for him to read later on. Fabulous job!!
Magnificent! Journaling that tugs at my heart. Mine are long since grown, but I remember those same thoughts and the sweetness of my babies! My gosh those eyes are amazing! Soooo blue! I love the title and those clocks! Beautiful colors too!
This is gorgeous, Krissy! What a magnificent pic of Mason!! And his eyes ARE beautiful!!! The pps are perfect and your journaling so heartfelt! You've pulled this all together so well and seemingly so effortlessly! A masterpiece!
This is amazing Krissy!! Your journaling is remarkable!!! ...you so eloquently express what every mother feels! Love the photo editing!!! Everything about this is just Beautiful!!!! Of course into my favs!!
Good lord, Krissy!!! This made my breath catch in my throat the very instant I saw it. Then when I made it larger to look at it, it just completely made my heart stop for a second. And all that was BEFORE I read the incredible journaling!!! This is my all-time favorite lo!! It's just so beautiful in every single way!!
Great photo editing!!! Not that there is anything wrong with it at all, but another great thing is to desaturate slightly and history brush back the eyes (I have CS3 so not sure if your programme can do that!) But this is gorgeous! A favourite vote from me.
AWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wow, what an amazingly beautiful photo, I just love the way you desaturated the rest of the photo and just kept the colour of his gorgeous eyes, he seems to see right into your soul!!!! The papers are perfect and the journalling - wow!!! you have just put so eloquently into words what I thought with each of my babies, it really does just go TOO DARN FAST, I often wish I had a remote control for my life with a pause button, just os I can catch my breath and enjoy the moment - your LO is PERFECTION and I know there will be many a lift of that wonderful journalling TFS :)
*sigh*.....look at those eyes! What a sweetheart. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me K. The many facets and layers that go into making your LOs is just inspiring. I love this green and the netting is wonderful. As to the journaling, *sniff sniff* I am right with you. My littler girl is growing before my eyes at the moment....thank you as ever for your heartfelt words
OH My Gosh............ This is so freaking BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I LOVE your photo editing and I love the journaling sooooo much!!!!!! Sigh... you work MIRACLES!!!!! These papers are so perfect, this whole page is perfect!!! STUNNING!
Very, VERY sweet. Love the colors and the blooms on the upper left corner.... they're awesome. I need to learn to edit my pictures like that, Awesome Layout!!!!
Krissy...this page is lovely, the paper, the picture and the sentiment...you will feel the same way even when he turns 18...we all just continue to grow and age....the colors and fabric accent are wonderful..very,very pretty.
I was inspired to do this journaling from Crystalyn, who did similar journaling on her "Last Chance" layout.
The journaling here reads: STOP little man Just for a moment...
Stop growing, stop advancing, stop morphing into this strong, courageous little boy I see in front of me. Stop learning to be independent, stop trying new and dangerous feats, stop experimenting with your freedom and free will. Stop testing your boundaries and stop spreading your wings. Please, just stop. Just for a moment. Just for a moment let me savor the softness of your beautiful baby skin. Let me tickle your tummy and feel my heart melt when your big beautiful smile errupts into a full bellied "baby laugh" Let me hold you close and breathe you in as you snuggle into my neck. Just for a moment, let me cradle you in my arms and rock you peacefully to sleep, then let me stare at you for hours like I used to do. Just for a moment let me smell that sweet baby smell that will all too soon be gone. Let me pinch those chubby thighs, and kiss those precious toes. Just for a moment let me drink in the beauty and wonder and innocence that is you. There will be no babies after you. You are our last, and you are growing entirely too fast so Mason, please STOP. Just for a moment, and let me have my sweet baby boy for a little while longer.
I loved these pp's as they seemed to match SO well with Mason's eyes. I dited the photo in PSE 5. I distressed the PPs and chipboard to add an 'aged' look. Thanks for popping in and taking a peek!
