Creative Baby Scrapbooking – A Checklist For You
You are addicted to creative scrapbooking and want to attempt baby scrapbooking project. But you do not know where to start. I faced this same problem when my aunts ask me to help scrapbook her newborn baby.
Here are the steps that I took before I attempted this project:
1) Gather all the photos that I want to use and sort them out
I was having problems with the photos as everything were mixed up and they were not even in the albums. Some of the photos were slightly damaged but I still have to use it because we do not have copies of those. I guess my aunts were so busy with her baby that she didn’t take care of the photos 
2) Choose the theme
Well, my aunts doesn’t have anything specifics in her mind. She just want something that focus on her baby.
I can do themes based on baby welcoming, baby showers, meal or bath. The problems is, I don’t have enough photos to create a specific theme like this. In the end, I just did a very general scrapbook… highlighting the baby and his parent and mixing some chronological theme in between
3) Draft the layout for the theme and choose the color scheme
I used a mixture of layouts – nothing special. But I paid attention to the color scheme to make sure that the scrapbook flows nicely. I chose blue color scheme because the scrapbook is for a baby boy.
I had layout highlighting the baby with only one photo at the centre stage and some writing on the sides. This is to introduce the baby itself. For the baby meal, i chose three photos of the baby and arranging them like a pyramid. The big one is on the top and two smaller ones at the bottom. These are just some of the layouts that I use.
I saw some nice looking template page on the net for the baby theme, unfortunately I couldn’t get them from the craft shops here. So, I had to do it manually .. i know, it is really time consuming, luckily it was only 15 pages.. phews….
4) I prepare all the materials that I need
Some scrapbooking papers, ribbons to bind the pages, protective sleeves, adhesive, craft scissors, stickers, some gold and silver markers and glitters
5) Then I start my first ever baby scrapbook
It took me about two weeks to complete it because I was busy with my work at that time and only had weekends to do it.
It wasn’t something that’s super duper artsy but my aunts was very happy and couldn’t stops looking at it. Wow.. I feel so happy for her 
I thought I’d share this cute photos of his small feet.. I really like it.. isn’t it cute?
