Baby Album

I made this baby album for my friend's new baby. She is not a scrapbooker, so I wanted to make this very easy for her to fill up with photos.  A student of mine asked me to post this since she is working on a gift album herself.  I did not plan on posting this album (and mom has it already) so I apologize for the photos of pages in the scrapbook with the glare.

I have to say that this was a very difficult project for me because I usually scrapbook around the photos that I have.  I bought a pad of paper at Michael's and some coordinating solid colors. I bought some ribbons and silk flowers to match.


I made a pocket and a tag for each page months 1 - 12 for mom to journal.   I cut out the photo mats at 4 1/2 x 6 1/4.  I used Nursery Rhymes for the font.

I continued a 2-page spread for each month.

This album was very fun and a little challenging for me, but it made a priceless gift!

Baby Album

I have been busy making a baby scrapbook for my friend and her baby Izzy. This is a new way for me to scrapbook because I am making the book for her first year ahead of time. I usually pick my paper to coordinate what is in the picture ~ clothing colors, background, etc. I bought a baby girl pad of papers at Michaels along with some solid pink, orange and green papers.

I made all of my photo mats 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 so all mom has to do is stick down the photo. I positioned some of them horizintal and some vertical. I also put a pocket for a tag on each page so mom can journal on it. I put in a 2 page layout for Grandparents, cousins and Firsts.

I used the font from Nursery Rhymes ~ my new favorite font!!

I am showing a couple of pages here!



I made pockets for the tags. Mom can put a small photo on one side and journal on the back. I included a list of suggestions to use (first tooth, roll over, crawl, haircut, etc.) and I have extra tags for her just in case.













This was a fun project but it really stretched my brain!
