Honestly, these kits are amazing. I was given the main kit and I managed to do three layouts easy. (I coulda done four easy, but I stuffed up on the background and had to use a new piece of cardstock from my stash ;) ).
So, this is what I put together:
WordsJournaling: "mummy, daddy, baby, teddy, dak (Jak), wii! (Wiggles), ree (read), boo' (book), gop (dog), aw-bwee (strawberry), waa! (wet), war-war (water), dee (tea), ba' (bath), paper, choc-lor (chocolate), Bobber! (Bob the Builder), detty (dirty), bubble, cat, wiaow (meow),tv, poo, tigger, Ja-yee (Jamie), me"
Our Year 2007Journaling: This year was certainly eventful! The first six months we spent working on the house. We sold it mid-year and moved across town, then I went back to work and Jamie started childcare. Phil worked hard with long hours and interstate trips. Phew! I would like a restful 2008.
Hey SunshineJournaling: After the events of the last few days, I'm reminded of how precious he is; how much a miracle he is; how incredibly much I adore him. Jamie and me on Christmas Day 2007.
And then I did this one. It's not part of the DT work I did, it's the fourth one. It's about my miscarriage.
Today I CriedJournaling: Today I cried. I burst into tears in a hospital room when a doctor touched me on the arm and told me I was miscarrying you. I cried when Jamie exclaimed "baby" when we were reading his books. I cried because I'd already started to imagine what you'd look like; I'd already pictured you playing with Jamie.
When do babies get souls? My heart aches for you, my sweet little baby. I carried you around with me for 8 weeks. I loved you from the moment I knew you existed and I'll always love you and grieve for what might have been. Love you to bits little one. Mummy.
Wow! Three posts today. I think that'll do, don't you?
Go check out the Designing Memories site. As usual the other DT members have blown me away with their use of the kit.

I love your DM layouts. Each one is so different and so funky. Nice work getting three beautiful ones completed!
And the layout about your miscarriage is fantastic. I think it's an important thing to scrapbook. I hope it helped the healing a little. I can totally relate to the grieving for what might have been. I love that photo of you too and how you've cropped it.
Awesome layouts Kathie! Each one of them is superb and always amazing journalling!

Kathie I am so sorry to read of your miscarriage. Having BTDT I know how absolutely heartbreaking it is and can totally relate to your feelings.
Sending you some hugs

PS: I found Bonnie Babes to be wonderful when I needed them. Sometimes I would ring and just cry over the phone because I didn't want to "burden" my family etc. They were definitely sanity savers on some bad days.
Love you work this month with the kit Kathie. The journalling on that 4th layout is just so moving.
