First go look at this layout from Michele Skinner from Memory Maker's Master's 2007.
It's ok... I'll wait.
Don't you love the simplicity of it? The beauty of her children's eyes? The fantastic story she told? Ok now about the layout I have forming in my head... I want to do actually a two page spread (my usual style) and compare all the little nuances of Chaiilynn that she got from either Jonathan or me or both of us perhaps. She got her eyes from her Daddy and her nose from her Mommy. Things like that. And take pictures of each feature on her and whoever she got it from. Only I don't want to stop there. I want to do one of my mom and dad and me and my sister. They would have to go in the album right next to each other so people can see that Chaiilynn actually got her nose from her Grandma. It's making me tear up just telling you about it (inspiration often makes me cry... who knows why and don't you laugh).
I not only got one layout idea from that one I got TWO!!! I want to take photos of Chaiilynns parts as she gets older. Her eyes, her hands, her smile. The same thing every birthday. And show that on a growing up page. Yeah! Have you ever seen that in an album?
Well I must go clean off that nose and smile I intend to photograph as it's covered in chocolate brownie. Yummy. Until then...

That sounds great!! You could even make a little album (maybe an altered board book) that she can look at now and learn from! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
