Help needed good cause.

Hi gals. This is a sad story. My Pediatrician whom I love.... lost her husband this week. He died from brain cancer, leaving her a Widow at 43! with four kids!!!

I thought that perhaps trying to create an individual scrapbook for each child
(a Daddy & Me.) would help them during these difficult times.

The kids : three girls, ages 14,12,5 and a little boy 9.
I've never taken on such a big project as to jump start titles and ideas for 4 different age groups and albums. Any suggestions? I know the boys is a mini jock, and his Dad coached, and took him to all his games.
One girls is quiet and pensive, the other is "into everything" and very fashion conscious. Thefive year old is just a cute bossy little girl who thinks she's ten I'm trying to make them a nice "heirloom" for the kids, but Albums might be cost prohivitive. Any suggestions? For reasonably priced albums? Anyone willing to help me out? Perhaps "plan a page" Punch a title?
This family needs some prayers and goodwill! Thanks! Kathy

Thanks Patty! Since you were the first to ask...
Do you mind doing Daddy's First Born, Daddy's Clone, That's my Boy,
And Daddy's Baby Girl Surprise?

I firgure that's the first page.. an introduction to Dad.
You can change em around if you want. I guess girl colors and boy colors?
I was going 8x8 but I think 12x12 will be more fun. Hoping Joann's does one their great scrapbook sales.
Since you have become "leader of the pack" for sales finds! (Maggie has been AWFULLY Quiet) Let me know if you see anything on your "sites"

Thanks again!
Kathy

Not sure how much help I can be over here in Blighty but anything I can do to help, just PM me. I'm pretty good on photo editing software, making designs etc. I feel so sorry for this family as this happened in mine as well (my mum was left with 2 kids.) Let me know.

what a great thing to do.
I did this for my dear friend last summer who lost her battle to cancer this past Oct.
thanks to many wonderful people on this board and a few other we made some great scrapping pages!
I would be happy to make a layout for you. Just give me a few ideas of what you would like and I will do my best.
So sorry for their loss.

Thanks for your well wishes, this is going to be some job, thank God my kids like using the Sizzix and Quickutz...
I know my biggest "creative block" will be the girls pages. I have three boys so i KNOW boys!
And my daughter is only 2 (so I am learning....) These are preteen and teen.
Gotta harass Disney Freak Jackie

The last Family trip they took was to WDW. So those pages will be easy (especially with all the wonderful Swap goodies to pick out of!)
Thanks for support !
Please PM me, and I will send you my address. Kids go back to school in 4 weeks, so hopefully I can give it all my attention then.
Kathy
