  • Mom's Brag Book

    This brag book -- which includes a delightful poem on its pages -- is a great way to create a personalized "storybook" for a special toddler.

    Brag books are a great way to feature single photographs that commemorate a special event -- like a first "haircut". When enough photos aren't available to create a full-sized layout, the small page size of a brag book is the perfect size to highlight just one.

    Journaling, matting and embellishing can be done just as in a larger scrapbook -- as long as it's scaled to the size of the book.

    Becky Eldenburg says brag books are a great way to show off special photos! Today's brag books can be embellished in much the same way as full-sized albums -- journaling, embellishments and matted photos are combined to create an overall page theme or mood. The secret of success, according to Eldenburg, is scaling everything to the size of the album.

    Brag books are a great way to utilize:

    • Single photos of special moments that can't be used with other photos to create a full-sized spread or page.

    • Leftover, smaller pieces of cardstock and paper, which are the perfect size for color blocking, journaling and matting.

    • Smaller stickers and embellishments.
