Baby Scrapbooking Ideas

by Vera Raposo

Are you pregnant? Expecting Your New Baby?

While you wait, you can get ready! You must remember that your little ones scrapbook does not exactly have to start once he or she is born.

If you had your baby shower while you are still expecting you can start on it.

You can have your baby shower pictures in your little ones scrapbook; this will start you into the habit of scrapbooking before the baby is born.

When the little angels arrive, besides feeling overjoyed, you will have a rush of ideas for your scrapbook.

At times these "idea over-loads" can turn the ideas into mush and you cannot separate them.

Here are some simple keywords and ideas that might help you out:

Baby Shower

* Your invitation * Guests * Presents * Cards * Cake

Hospital

* Visitors * Nurse/ Doctor

The "Firsts" * Day home * Holidays * Christmas * New Years * Easter * Crawling * Walking * Hair cut * Bath * Using the pacifier * Birthday * Professional photo Close-Ups

* Hand * Foot * Cheeks * Face * Lips * Ears

Take a picture each month and keep list of events for that month until he or she is one year old.

Items to decorate that are baby related

* Punches * Stickers * Charms * Ribbons * Punch-outs * Quotes * Definitions * Innocent * Angel * Joy * Happiness * Journaling

You might also want to take pictures of his or her different looks. Some of these looks are when he or she is smiling, laughing or when he or she is tired or just had woken up.

You can also take pictures when they are sleeping just because they look so cute when they do!

You might also want to make a family tree which includes pictures and notes from each member.

You want this scrapbook to show the emotions you felt while creating it.

You want this scrapbook to be able to put a smile on your face when you look back at it.

When creating a baby scrapbook about your little one, it is like you are pausing a time in his or her life so you want to make sure that you catch it perfectly.
