All About Baby Scrapbooking

Now that we’ve discussed all about maternity scrapbooking it’s time to discuss the baby scrapbook!

Most of the same ideas from capturing your pregnancy journey apply to documenting your baby’s special moments. Many moms opt not to do a maternity scrapbook but rather a baby book. Even if you don’t want to do a whole book about your pregnancy it’s a good idea to add at least 1-2 pages in your child’s book documenting your journey. What I like to do for baby books and I encourage clients to do is a 1st Year in Review book.

Here’s a list of page ideas and themes to get you started:

  • Letter from Mom
  • Sonogram photo and momma baby bump photo
  • Room/decor photos
  • Photos from the day of birth – family shots
  • Coming home from the hospital
  • Baby Announcement & photo
  • Newborn photo shoot photos
  • Baptism/Naming Ceremony
  • First bath
  • First words
  • Crawling
  • First steps
  • Playing
  • Sleeping baby
  • With grandparents
  • With siblings
  • First birthday
  • First Holiday(s) – Christmas/Hanukkah, Valentine’s Day, Easter, etc.
  • Any other great photos that capture a special moment

Also, take a peek at the book I did for my cousin, Kayla for her 1st birthday – it incorporates a lot of the above themes and page ideas.

Next time, we’ll talk about journaling, photos and what you can do with all your baby special memorabilia.

And, if you want to scrapbook your baby’s 1st year memories but don’t want to actual do it yourself or know where to start, contact me and I can help.
