Oh my what terrible news for such a little sweet angel...so sorry that he is blind. I love all your white...makes this lo really pure and precious. Beautiful butterfly.....wonderful lo.
I came over here to leave you a thank you for the love you left me. This LO jumped right out at me. I stopped to look at it because it's just beautiful with all it's white sweetness. It's so beautiful and elegant, then I read the journaling. Mel that is the most wonderful and heartfelt journaling!! If that little darling boy has you in his life he will experience a million joys I can tell already. He will never even realize that he has a problem until mean children tell him he does. But I feel he'll lead a very blessed life with you as a grandma.
GDCG: Beautiful page..I really love that it's all white yet theres still so much texture and interest in the page...I can understand how this was such a hard topic to scrap..
What a lovely lovely page. I can understand how difficult it must have been to write about this, but you wrote so beautifully. Very very touching. Thank you for sharing the lo and the journalling.
Oh my goodness. I have tears as I write this note. Your heartfelt journaling is awesome, as is hes photo. I know he will "see" all of his grandmother's love, too. TFS!!
Wow Mel this is stunning. I love how you told little Rafe's story, but the beauty of the white page, with the butterlfy and pearl flourishes and little bows seems to indicate how sweet and innocent he is too. It is perfect.
this is BEAUTIFUL!
i love the monochromatic.
all the different embellies are gorgeous.
rafe is such a sweetheart!
i know it was tough to write the journaling but you really did a wonderful job on all of this mel :D
This is a layout of my first grandbaby Rafe, who will be a year old March 1. I have been trying to work on an album of him but it's been a bit hard for me. The hidden journalling reads:
Your Doctors told us you were blind two weeks ago. Although we knew you had vision problems, we didn't expect this. I cried for a solid week because I couldn't understand why our sweet little baby Rafe would never see what his own mother's face looks like, or how the sun seems to sink into the horizon at sunset, or how some flowers look as delicate as they smell. You, however, are such a joy, such an amazing blessing. As unimaginable as all this is, your smile and little giggles make us all know that you'll do just fine . I know you'll 'see' through our eyes and we will learn untold life's lessons from you. I can't wait until you get back to the states so I can see you and hold you again. I miss you!
I used white cardstock for the background, K&Company Letter Pearl Embossed Velum for the foreground paper, used the Martha Stewart Daisy Fan punch for the edge of the photo mat and the edges of the foreground paper. I used a scalloped edge pp turned design-side down, with Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink to give the edge a little dimension. I used eyelets and Fiber Accents String to make the bows. I spritzed the punched border by the pic and the checkerboard piece with Smooch spray
