For my children's Christian Heritage scrapbook, I wanted their baby dedication memory enclosed in something special. A baby dedication is where you pledge to the church congregation that you will as parents raise your child up in the ways of the Lord. It is also where you can give your child a special bible verse that is special just to him or her. For my daughter I choose Matthew 5:16 - Let your light shine before men, that they may see the good deeds and praise your father in heaven. The bible verse is in the inside portion of the card...when you pull the top of the card up, you see her name, birthdate and bible verse as well as a picture of her under the one of a kind stamp.
I used again the font Selfish and printed her name and then stamped a special one of a kind frame around her name. I outlined everything using a clear stardust gelly roll pen. I colored using blender pens, watercolor pencils and metallic pencils...
This is really a very special thing to make someone who is baptizing their child or dedicating their child to the Lord...
In this picture my daughter is 2 1/2 and playing with her favorite - watercolor markers! It's all she does and she is now 13!

I applaud your efforts and the sentiment behind your project. Years ago, before my son was born, I dedicated my son to the Lord. My son continues to go to church and married a lovely Christian young lady. It has been hard for me as a mother to let him and find his own wings, but I do cheer as he takes off!!! Praying for our children is so important and letting them truly know they are special to us creates and strengthens those bonds. Here's to your bond-strengthner!!!
You did a beautiful job--brought tears to my eyes!!!
