Well my sister’s birthday came and went and did I finish her scrapbook gift? No!
So what now? Well I’m not giving up, life does get in the way sometimes doesn’t it!
Still, let’s carry on. Moving on from baby to toddler we’ve only been able to find a couple of photo’s so the layout needs to display these as the focus of the design. So if you just want to use or only have one or two photos you’ll want to show them off effectively. One thing you can try if you have a picture that shows more than a head shot, use the whole picture and then zoom in or crop one or two parts of it and print those up as well. Add them to the page in a small frame and add a decoration or descriptive word or two.
Your scrapbooking can also take the form of a journal adding stories or significant facts or events. This is great to do when a baby is born if it can be carried on through the years to make a great momento on an 18th or 21st. One page per year for this kind of thing is enough. Some events to consider apart from the obvious birthday of course are christenings, first day at school, toddler, teen, best friend, hobbies or anything else you can think of. Do give it some thought though and have a guiding plan.
Well I’m going to carry on using some childhood pics, I’ll be back and let you know how it went.
