My Layout is all about HOPE.
I LOVE these resin Angels that I painted with Silks Acrylic Paints.
I am linking this to the Prima January Build A Page Sketch:
I was very fortunate to attend the Prima Artventure a couple of weeks ago and came back with all kinds of Prima goodies that I put to good use on this special layout!
My layout is all about HOPE for my friend's tiny little 2 month old baby boy who needs open heart surgery. I can't even imagine.
I used the photo from the actual baby announcement and built my page using Prima Elements that help me tell his story. The title Hope with the angels couldn't be more perfect.
Here is a close up of the hearts (on the Prima "Princess Paper") I outlined with a glaze pen. I used metal and wood gears and clocks with the hope that they can get his heart working again. See the tiny little plane on the clock? The family is waiting to hear when they can fly him to Boston Children's Hospital to have his surgery. I also used a lot of stitching to represent mending his heart.
Here's his Beautiful little face surrounded by more heart gears and time pieces and a flower to represent Florida where he lives along with a butterfly made of cork. Can you see the tiny clothespin? Even that has the word Hope on it. The ruler is to measure his growth because hopefully, when the surgery is a success, he will grow into a fine young man.
Some photos of my process:
The embossing paste looked so COOL for my background but I thought it needed a little color.
I painted the stenciled pattern with Silk Paint and Gesso and added outlines to the hearts with my Sakura Glaze pen.
I hope you like my layout. Creating is how I cope with the emotions of life. I'm not sure I will give this to his parents. I am going to wait and see how he does with surgery and maybe I'll change the word to LOVE and frame it for them to put in his room. But right now, I am filled with HOPE and prayers.

Sue this is stellar my friend, heart warming and so very moving. Each element so perfectly thought out an deplaned, your friend will truly treasure this. There was a moment in time we thought that our little one would need open heart surgery as well. He was six months old and they thought he had a large hole in his heart. Thank God tests found it to be a teeny pinhole murmur instead. He's a grown married man and perfectly healthy. I pray a good outcome for this little man as well.
