Shapes Galore

Well today is another scrap map saturday over at CCW, this week its all based upon mixed shapes.

This is the scrap map:

My take on the scrap map is the following:

I have used cream organza and have ruffled it along the edges, I wanted to try and do something different with ribbon, have seen some gorgeous LO's recently and am always trying to get my LO's looking better. Not sure this is finished yet or I might rearrange things a little but for now I can't think of what to do to make it so I am 100% happy with it - sorry I am showing alot of LO's I am not completely happy with at the moment but any advice/ideas are gratefully received :)

Thank you for looking

Almost Finished...

My final LO from today isn't quite finished yet but I thought I would share it with you anyway. I would like to put some journalling on it as this is a very special memory from my pregnancy and I want to copy some of the feelings I had at this moment from my diary so that when Poppy reads it when she is older she can understand how amazing it was and how much I loved her even then. 4D Scan: At 32 weeks we had a 4D scan, and this was the most amazing thing I had ever seen, to see the features of our little baby was breath taking. We could see she had a little button nose - so definatly not taking after her Daddy! She sat with her one arm/hand up by her face and the other was just under her chin as though her head was resting on it. You can see in all the pictures. When she was born this was how she slept too, her left hand was always up by her face. I couldn't believe how clear the scan was and am absolutely delighted we had one.

20 Week Scan...

...well the crafting has continued and I have managed to finish another LO, this time it is the scan picture from our 20 week scan, this is where we found out our little 'Pip' was infact a 'Poppy'....this secret was very hard to keep from people but we managed it with only a few family members knowing that we were having a girl. It is so amazing seeing this little person on scan which is growing inside you. Anyway this is the LO I have created for this: Being a midwife I am normally on the other side of things and have experienced scans from watching on screen at someone else's but the love and emotion I felt when I saw my little baby was incredible and scrapping these pictures just brings back so many memories and the occasional tear. I find it sad I'm not pregnant anymore but I love having Poppy.

Tender Moments...

Well after 8 months of having Poppy I have finally managed to get around to scrapping some pictures, after seeing some LO's by some very talented people it gave me the kick up the bum I needed to get the crafting bug again....I haven't touched anything crafty in nearly 9 months...well my time was taken up with looking after a certain someone! Anyway here are my efforts: This is a double paged LO and they are mirror images to a certain extent.

Tender Moments

These are the very first pictures taken of Poppy and I just after she was born. It was such an amazing feeling holding her for the very first time, looking back at these pictures reminds me of that moment.

Precious Memories

These are taken a little later after Poppy had been cleaned and rewrapped. I just couldn't stop staring at this beautiful little girl which had been given to me. Words cannot describe the happiness of these moments.
