The first 12 months of a baby's life are magical, despite the cries and sleepless nights. Preserving all those keepsake moments is extremely important, and you don’t have to that artistic to create a baby's first-year scrapbook. First, block out a little "mommy time" to go shopping to gather all the supplies you'll need. Materials: Various scrapbooking supplies (your choice)
Birth announcement
Shower invitations
Cards from family and friends - To get started choose some of your favorite baby photographs -- roughly four for each month to show growth and milestones. And make sure to have pictures of the special people in your baby's life.
- To create the scrapbook pages, use all of the photos, announcements and greeting cards together (figure A) to make the book extra special.
- On one page you may want to have your baby's birth announcement (figure B), then on another page use the decorative envelope as a background for a special photo. And tucked inside is a special surprise -- another picture on an extra announcement card.
- Another fun idea would be to buy an extra pack of announcements to create a mini-album (figure C), incorporating more photos.
- Don't forget to include your baby's footprint from the hospital (figure D), along with locks of hair, which you can glue on a small gift-card envelope.
- And finally, don't forget to create a pocket page to tuck those special cards you'll want as keepsakes.
Taking time to preserve all those "first" in one book will be a treasure for the family for years to come!
