With the word beautiful we ask you to leave the top of the word

I am a mother of 4 beautiful boys, one of whom is an Angel. My son Harrison was born on the 14th of
September 2010. He was diagnosed with an incurable condition, (‘Diaphramatic Hernia’) and died on
the 15th of September 2010. Following our loss, the Mater organised for a professional photographer
to take photo’s of our last precious moments together. After we received these beautiful printed
memories I created an album to preserve them. I realised I could do something positive in Harrison’s
memory and for the hospital who had cared for us during our difficult time.
Being an avid scrap booker, I embarked upon creating albums for the parents who had gone through
the same experience. I now donate 6x6 Baby albums to the hospital for the parents who have lost
their babies and this is where I require your assistance. We are asking for scrappers to make up 6x6
scrapbook layouts, please be mindful that these albums are for families that have lost their precious
baby so we do ask that they are not to bright in colouring and you do be careful of what word paper
taht you use, we do ask that you do not use papers such as goo goo type papers. We also ask that
you leave room for a photo the size of half a 6x4 (standard photo). Ideas of words that can be used on
a layout are Love, Treasure, Precious, my angel, family, adore.

any

so
that
the

can
be
slipped
under
it.

Our Albums all finished ready to go to their
families
Our albums go to families done like below, with a beautiful ribbon and booties and a tag which says made with love in memory of my son Harrison. We are also introducing braclets that have been handmade with beads in a little bag that is also attached to our tag, they are made with love in memory of Jay, one of my friends lost a baby and she wanted to add braclets, she now helps with Harrison’s Little Wings Inc. Our albums have 10 pages, which means it takes 20 6x6 scrapbook layouts to fill an album. In each album they have little plastic sleeves already in them. We raise money to buy these albums. To cut cost we do use 1 piece of cardstock but we scrap front and back, just to be a bit more cost effective. This is entirely up to you to do this as well, or you can do individual pages. Inside we also include an information card on what to do and what size photos, we
also include photo tabs so that people only need to go out and get their photos
developed
Poems
Here is some chosen poems that we put into our albums, feel free to add these to some of the layouts Tiny Angel
Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".

The world may never notice
If a snowdrop doesn’t bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way For all eternity.
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.
And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
Every Beating of our hearts Says
that we do love you.

You never said "I’m leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before i knew it
And only god knew why
A million times i need you
a million times i cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life i loved you dearly
In death i love you still
In my heart you hold a place
That no one could ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of me went with you
The day god took you home
