Inspiration Needed -- Christening Layout (Heritage)

Yep, I'm stuck

Ok, I made a layout for Sarah's album about her Christening years ago and have never really liked it. With the help and perserverance of my mother she found pictures of her sister, me and Elizabeth wearing the same christening gown as Sarah.

Now I'm stuck. Have a Jolee's sticker (thank you Mom), have my circut (for the title "Generations of God's Love), have a box of ribbon/fiber/ string, cases of brads and eyelets, girly paper but not an idea of how to do it.

Here's the page I'm tearing apart:

Now I just need some inspiration for a 1 or 2 page 12x12 layout for her album (Sarah's picture is 4x6, Elizabeth's & Aunt Nancy's picture is as well and my picture is 3x5). I think it is because I don't like Elizabeth's facial expression in Sarah's picture. Help (oh, I can't buy a thing I have to use what I've got--lousy budget and all)

Thanks in advance,

Kate

Oh,

Here is the prayer that will be featured as well since we are a mixed religion family (Elizabeth Presbyterian, Sarah Epispipalian (sp), Roy Buddist, Me Spiritalist) and I love the American Indian way of seeing things:

AN INDIAN PRAYER Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear my prayer.

Let me walk in beauty through all my days. May my eyes see sunrise freshness, and sunset glory.

Make my hands respect the things you have made, and my ear sharp to hear your many voices.

I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.

Make me wise, that I may learn the lessons you teach my people, the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength, not to be superior to my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy, myself.

Oh Great Spirit, hear me. Make me ready. So when life fades to a last sunset, my spirit will come to you without shame.

I thought this was a cute layout and would be great, especially with the prayer that you want to feature.

I wouldn't tear this page up I would just add a page next to this with journaling and the pictures you found. Oh if you don't like the expression maybe you can print it out bigger and crop her out.
