What super power would you choose if you could choose any? That was the question The True Team asked this week for the Rumble in the Orchard challenge. The challenge was simply "Four." We decided we would be Faith's Fabulous Four. we had to choose a hero and power. Here's what I came up with:
All the goodies are from Faith True Originals, including the FUN kit Kapow (a collab) and Master of Disguise. The template is from Captivated Visions. Here's the final layout with all four parts together:

Finally, I scrapped a difficult page this past week. We lost a baby early in a very surprise pregnancy back in September. I have held onto the pregnancy test. I can't let it go, because it's all that remains of our little one. I decided to photograph it and scrapbook about it. The journaling was difficult, but healing in many ways. The kit is Snapshots of the Heart by Jennifer Labre Designs and KimB. The template is from Fuss Free: Key to my Heart by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs.
The journaling reads:
"You were real. You were created. You were alive. And you were 100% human and 100% mine. The loss is real. The grief is real. In a world where life is cheap and the life of unborn babies perhaps the least valued of all, I will declare that you were real, my precious little one. I did not expect you, didn’t even know I wanted you. Yet, there you were, growing inside of me. I saw the place where your tiny heart was forming. But something was wrong, and callously the doctor told me that my pregnancy might not be viable, that I might be losing you. I wept. Even though I didn’t expect you, I wanted you and loved you with all my heart. It was agony losing you. It was devastating. The sadness felt overwhelming. I mourned the loss of your life and the loss of our baby. I mourned for the hugs and kisses I would never get to shower you with, for the dreams I had in my heart for you. You were real. You are real, and being held in the arms of a loving God. I am thankful that you were knit together in my womb by the creator. For whatever reason, you did not grow and thrive like your brothers and sisters. I may never know why. But I do know that I loved you and that I grieve your loss. The pain is still raw and real all these months later. I miss you…journaled February 7, 2012"
We've had an eventful week or so. Work has been stressful. My insomnia is back with a vengeance. And I have to release an employee from her position this week, too. Prayers for me and my family are always appreciated!
The Rumble in the Orchard is over, so it will be back to my normal scrapping schedule soon! The Rumble layouts were challenging to me and took more time than I usually spend on a layout! But is sure was fun!
Until next time...
Next, I've got a layout that makes me smile! This kit is so full of cuteness! I just love it! These are some pictures from Georgia Kate's 6th birthday back in October. The kit is Hello Birthday and Hello Birthday Bits by Faith True Originals, and the templates are Fuss Free: Like Totally 2 and Fuss Free: Square Pegs, both by Fiddle Dee Dee Designs. This was a fun 2 page layout to create!
