Description:I have two co workers having a baby next month and have decided to make albums for each of them. This is a scraplift of Scrapattack2001 http://www.scrapjazz.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=65626&password=&sort=3&cat=all&page=8
The scan doesn't show it but it has faint sketches of angels on it.
The photo mat is intended to be askew behind a straight photo. The paper is actually off white, but I chalked it to match the background paper. I also stitched around it with gold thread.
I used my sizzix tag die to make the tag and some old sequins I had to make the small circle angel tag.
Journaling:
A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth soon, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave soon, please tell me my angel's name."
Oh, your coworkers are so lucky! Do you mind if I scraplift, my sister-in-law is having a baby within the next two weeks, and she might appreciate this. You are so talented!
