A couple new Lo's

This was a fun Layout to do. I did it for a challenge at catscrap. I had to meet 4 requirements:
It had to have grey on it, it had to have hearts on it, it had to include lyrics to a song and it had to have the title in one font. Here's what I cam up with:


Paper:
Pretty Krafty 2 kit by Creashens (catscrap.com)
Swell Set #1 by Creashens (catscrap.com


Hearts:
Bye Bye Birdie Kit by Creashens (catscrap.com)


Mask:

Stitches:

Journaling:
You will lose your baby teeth * At times you'll lose your faith in me * You will lose a lot of things * But you cannot lose my love * You may lose your appetite * Your guiding sense of wrong and right * You may lose your will to fight * But you cannot lose my love * You will lose your confidence * In times of trial your common sense * You may lose your innocence * But you cannot lose my love * Many things can be misplaced * Your very memories be erased * No matter what the time or space * You cannot lose my love * You cannot lose * You cannot lose *You cannot lose my love




Here's another fun one I did. I felt like playing with extractions and I had a confession to het off my chest :)

Journaling:
Ok, here’s the confession. I didn’t want boys. And I always swore that God knew better than to give me boys. I am a girly girl raised in a house with FIVE boys. The last thing in the world that I wanted was a boy. Or so I thought at the time. Boys are this whole foreign world that I never understood. Boys are dirty, gross and obnoxious. They laugh at body functions. How do you even begin to relate?


Then after months of planning and praying we finally got pregnant with you. We didn’t find out the sex of the baby (you) but I just KNEW you were a boy. I thought . . . How do you hold a baby boy, surely you can’t cuddle them close and sing to them the way I did with Alorah. How am I even going to know what to do with you?? But you showed up and it just came natural. You loved to be held and sung to. You slept with mom every night. I had fun with all the boy clothes. It soon became very apparent that you were one of those “ALL boy” boys that rough and tumble kind. But you have this whole other side. You used to sit and play with my hair and tell me I was beautiful. You pick me flowers. You come to my rescue when I fall down hills. I’ve discovered that boys can be pretty cool and there’s this amazingly special bond between a mom and son. Thank you son for coming along and changing my way of thinking.


And last but certainly not least, here's a layout I did for my Creative Team using Creashens newest kit Yours and Pretty Krafty 3

Journaling:
Who knew that our love would grow even stronger from that day forward? It was just the beginning
of this wonderful journey with you. Although
we’ve had our share of ups and downs,
probably more downs than ups.
We’ve fought through and
stayed committed to one
another. Love hasn’t
wavered even through
pain and strug-
gles. I think our
best days are
just around
the corner.
