- Begin by bordering the 12" x12" scrapbook page with the quilt square sticker border. For easy placement, use pencil and ruler to measure and mark a light guideline (figure A), approximately 1/4" from each edge.
- Apply quilt border (figure B), then apply thin yellow eyelet border just inside edges of quilted border.
- Enlarge or reduce photos on a color copier (or use originals if desired).
- Crop photos, then triple-mat the largest photo. First, mat on lavender paper, followed by a wider white mat. Finally, repeat lavender paper for the third mat.
- Cover the center white mat with a clear dotted sticker border and finish with photo corners (figure C).
- Adhere the reduced ultrasound copy to a wide aqua mat.
- Trim each side of the matted scan with quilt square sticker border (figure D). Finish with photo corners and a heart sticker.
- Arrange matted photos on the album page, then adhere. Be sure to leave an area for journaling.
- Overlap small baby-themed stickers (baby rattles, toys or teddy bears are suggested) to create small accent borders. In this example, the craft knife is used to separate a teddy bear's paw from his body (figure E), then a small rattle sticker is inserted (figure F).
- Add journaling to complete page.
