Create Precious Family Keepsakes

Remembrance Keepsake Suggestions

Just a Cloud Away, Inc created Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Kits for parents and supporting family members to honor deceased babies while still including their essence within the family unit. We hope to take away some of the stress of searching, shopping and finding just the right pieces for your artwork. Your grief can be overwhelming and Just a Cloud Away, Inc. wants to help you document special moments with your baby. There are numerous ideas on the website and blog to help you compose beautiful Love Memorials™ for sweet baby angels.

Just a Cloud Away Remembrance Kits include 5 pieces for your babies’ handmade memorial keepsake. Each creation will be unique because no two children are the same, living or deceased. The Remembrance Kits include:

1-12x12 Heaven and Earth page with fluffy clouds separating to allow a glimpse of the beautiful heavens where our angels wait us.

The heaven and earth page is a place for ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN, parents, grandparents and/or other family members.		Loving parents, twin boys and their deceased child, represented by the angel cradling a baby are together. A memorial keepsake was created by including all family members. This can be framed and placed in their family room.
1 Sheet of 7 Angels and babies on clouds are provided to protect and care for your baby.
The 2 angels on large clouds can cradle a dried flower, piece of wedding gown, emboss their name or place silk flowers folded like a swaddling blanket. A picture of your sweet baby is not needed to symbolize undying love. Angels and baby cut outs are provided for your comfort.
Maybe the star or gemstone was chosen to symbolize your baby
1 Sheet of Butterfly Stickers (50 total)
Embellish heaven and earth symbolizing hope for beautiful reunions. Butterflies can carry your sweet baby to the heavens or embellish a sympathy card
1 Sheet of Flower Stickers (40 total) for a blooming heaven and earth full of color, fragrance and life for your angel baby The flower stickers can be used in various ways
1-12x12 Certificate of Love page
For you and your baby, Create a personalized memorial validating your son or daughters’ brief life. They are very much loved even in their physical absence.		Kevin was miscarried at 14 weeks. His story is being told through teary eyes and with great hope to once again be together.

Poems, sky journals, zodiac signs, music, the season, nature, and other elements can help you tell your child’s story. Share your feelings as a family and participate in the creation of this special and unique keepsake forever treasured, honoring your baby.

The remembrance kits do not have to be inserted into a scrapbook. The kits can be used in other crafts preserving the pages. Frames can be constructed to hang on your walls, insert them into your tables with glass tops, create a shadowbox, or decoupage onto a ceramic tile or plate.

We can't do anything to bring them back, but we can do everything to keep their memories alive. Please visit "Love Talk Blog" for Flowers, Angel Moments and Inspirational Thoughts to help you and your family create "Love Memorials™". Please visit Additional Memorial Ideas with images.

Suggested Supplies to Start Your Babies’ Memorial:

Before Beginning your Child’s Keepsake, Gather Everything in One Place:

• Mementoes
• Shower Invitations
• Pictures or Fingerprints of Other Family Members to include
• Piece of Baby Blanket
• Lyrics to a Special Song
• Letters to Your Baby
• Dried Funeral Flowers

After looking through craft, card or scrapbooking magazines, choose a design that may help organize your son or daughter’s story. You are welcome to copy a design on this site too.

Will the memorial have straight lines or will you tear the paper, creating soft edges? Will combine pictures and words? Can other children help? Will your spouse contribute? Do you have animals to include?

Take some time to cry and reflect on your baby. This activity cannot be completed in a day or not recommended. I feel very connected to Tanner after a good cry because his spirit seems to be intensely felt inside me, just the very place his life began . I hope you will find an ounce of peace creating your sweet babies’ Remembrance Kit. Don’t hesitate to share your child’s story will me or to others on the Just a Cloud Away Guest book.

Just because they are not here doesn’t mean we stop loving them.

Peace Love and Hugs from Above
