Some good friends of ours are adopting a little boy this month who is 2 years old. We are just so very excited for them and can't wait to meet him! What a blessing! There was a surprise "baby" shower for the mom and she is one of my friends who loves all things scrapbooking. I really wanted to make something special. Since he is older I wanted him to know he was loved and a part of their family long before he ever joined their family. So I made *him* a little picture book. My friend can place a current picture of each member in the frames, then a pic of him, and pic of the 4 of them at the front. I used a little icon to represent something that was special to each of them (mom is crafty, dad is in seminary, big sister likes horses, and he's a little boy so hopefully he likes planes :) ... and of course on the front is one of my favorite sentiments for little ones who are adopted!).
Enjoy!

This is such a thoughtful gift, Kristen. I'm sure it will be treasured by all of the family. The Frame die cut is a great way to tie all of the pages together and it will certainly make it easier for the pictures to be inserted.
