I kept this very simple to go with the facing page that I entered in the Clean and Simple category of Lucky 7. Used my Wishblade to make the letters which are several layers put together to give a chipboard look. Printed to vellum in dark blue. Put the photo off center for a special reason.
"I wrote the following to a layout that I uploaded about the same time this photo was taken. It was for the layout, “Don’t Dream It’s Over” about when Krystal told me she was pregnant.
This was a hard page for me to do. I didn't have to do it at all. There wasn't even a picture or scrappable memento to go with it.
But I felt it was necessary. It was important. Though something none of us are proud of, it happened. As heartbreaking as it was then, I knew it was an important moment. Looking back at it after more than 2 years, I can see how God worked in all of us and our circumstances.
Yes, many times I cried out to God, "WHY?!" And all I kept hearing back from Him was "wait and see." Patience wasn't a strong suit then nor now.
But now I can't even describe the love I feel for my grandson. Which won't be hard for any of you who has grandchildren to understand but can you imagine the love I feel for my son-in-law? (They got married a year ago) Through lots and lots of pray, God put my heart in the right place where this situation was concerned. God has placed such love in my heart for him, even I am overwhelmed at times by it. SIL didn't want to live too close to us then, this month he'll be moving next door and actually looking forward to it. :) We're all excited.
Now more than a year later, I’ve finally scrapbooked this photo. I feel it’s time to put this into our actual family album. The husband of my daughter, the father of my grandson, my son, Mike.

************I found a bunch of typos that I'll need to correct. I'm thinking of having the journalling go across the entire top of this layout, move "SON" over to the right of the photo and have it go vertical. What do ya think?
Thanks for spreading positivity!
