7 - Not 1 Not 2 but 3 Darlings

I've been meaning to do a grid type layout for a while, but haven't got around to trying it. For this challenge, I incorporated it with that of my LSS where it called for a photo-less one.

This one captures some key points from each of my 3 pregnancies. The 3 pockets on the left: "Not One" - my first born; not 2 - my second child; but 3 darlings: my current pregnancy. The pocket on the top right says "I am blessed" because the tag within writes "It's all about Me"(Kaiser Craft stamp) and my pregnancies.

The tag on the bottom right holds the birthdates of my 3 children. Since I'm still waiting for the birth of #3 (within these few days), the date is still blank. The five hearts on the bottom right also signify the five of us in the family to which each holds a special and unique key to each and everyone of us.

The purple flowers and leaves are handmade inspired by the tutorials on Kittie Kraft blog.

Evidence:
Distressing, pockets, stripes, straight lines with organic organic shapes

Testimony:
Grocery list (the key points are listed for each pregnancy - sorry! should have taken a photo of this. Will do so and upload onto my blog)
The roots (this is on the tag in the top right pocket - will upload this on my blog).

TFL!
