Becca – There is nothing more precious than a legacy of photos to pass down to a child. Make sure that you are protecting those memories with acid free and archival safe materials. I have a couple pre-printed themed pages for babies on my website, check them out! http://www.doresa.myctmh.com Look for "Snipes & Snails" and "Sugar & Spice" Level 1 kits. Pre-printed pages are so wonderful, it allows you more time to spend on the embellishing (the fun part, right!!!). Becca, I would love to help you with any other scrapbooking needs!

I echo the idea on the wrapping paper. For one of my showers for my first, a lady gave me a homemade hooded bath towel wrapped in bathtime wrapping paper. I took the paper and just used if for the page layout and used pics from that shower to decorate. It was very easy… no ironing needed.

Another thing I really love is preprinted pages. I know you might be thinking – how un-unique is that!! BUT it saves you a ton of time and you can still embellish them to whatever degree you choose. The brand I love is Aimee J Inc. I tend to go way overboard when it comes to the number of pics I want to include resulting in a huge number of pages. The printed pages help to keep things going and focused so I don’t lose track of what I wanted to accomplish.

I’m going to try this idea myself… take a bunch of pics of your baby’s eyes, ears, toes, fingers, hairline… etc. memories you want to capture and make them into 1-2 in. squares to form a chunky border on your 12×12 page then put a full baby pic in the main area of the page and embellish as you like. I waited for Michael to fall asleep and tried this. Hint – make sure your flash is off – my pics came out better without it. Have fun!!!

I say you should use the gift wrapping paper from the baby shower as backgrounds for pics. All you have to do is iron it flat (really works) and tape any rips from the back. For the title, you might like something like "Baby's name (in big letters) (in smaller letters:) Time of Birth Date of birth Place of Birth" on the cover. Use lighter colors like sky blue, bubble gum, lavender, etc. for the letters and nice ribbon to help the tape hold the pics in place. A lock of hair from baby's first hair cut and baby shower invitation samples.

If you cut out the letters BABY or his/her name, use the negative to decorate the page.

Comment on What books are good for scrapbooking beginners? by Scrap4Joy.com

Scrapbooking can be intimidating when you are just starting out, but it doesn’t have to be. There are a few books that would be a great help to beginning scrapbookers.

A few of my favorites are "The Big Picture" by Stacy Julian, "Creative Sketches" by Becky Higgins, and "Scrapbook Page Maps" by Becky Fleck. They are not specific to baby scrapbooking and are wonderful for jumpstarting your scrapbook pages on any theme, because once you start you won’t want to stop!

I also have a site devoted to scrapbooking with many areas related to beginners. You are welcome to check it out.

Good luck to you, and congratulations on the new baby!
