Wow, what a truly *real* layout. Don't worry, I can cope with the picture. Congrats to you for being willing to put it out there. I have the tiniest of stretch marks (my one and only baby was premature and 2lb 10oz so he didn't make all that much of an impact) but I still don't like them. I hope scrapping this helped you.

I have a love/hate relationship with mine! I hope someday you might atleast be able to have the same. It has taken me a LONG time to get to this point, but really...you are so brave to post your true feelings, and this is a beautiful LO!
HUGS

I agree, i think most women have a love/hate relationship with theirs. i know i do. after owen i heard from my mom " if you had used the cream this wouldnt happen" " if u bought those maternity clothes insted of sweatpants and pj pants this wouldnt happen" um yeah okay. so big **hug** Great job on being able to Journal and Heal through this. The Layout is really beautiful though.

What a truly great layout! Doesn't bother me one bit.
What bothers me is the fact that after 2 kids, my mom had ONE tiny one inch long stretch mark, the witch! Bwahahah!
Love this layout...that journaling is so real...beautiful!
