I was inspired by the layout of the adorable baby by Az on The Sketchy Thursdays Blog. It made me want to make a baby layout even though my babies are big kids now.
My daughter was born when my very active son was 20 months old. I had my babies rapid fire so my daughter's baby days seem like they flew by too fast. This photo reminds me of picking her up after a nap, how her little head smelled, how her legs would curl up when I picked her up, how she used to say "uppeee uppeeee upppppeeee!" until I picked her up, and how she almost never cried - she was the sweetest most snuggly baby that ever lived, I just know it.
Journaling: "Picking you up after a nap was the absolute best. You were so sweet and snuggly." - Photo 2004 (I fixed this on the layout since I wrote 2005 and I think it was actually 2004 - see I was busy). Note 1/2012 - Love Mom.
In the envelope is a lock of her hair - no doubt from much later - since it took a long, long time for her hair to grow, but I am certain it was her hair since I did save it and it is blonde and curls - she cuts off her hair now so it doesn't curl quite so much on the ends or get so sun bleached. I can't believe how tall and grown up she is now at 8 years old. Time flies, it really does.
I think it is fun to make a monochromatic layout every once in a while, it allows for the use of lots of embellishments and papers and textures, and as a scrapbooker, that is fun sometimes.
