BABY BOYS SCRAPBOOK
A NAME TO REMEMBER Often we give nicknames to our babies - only to forget them as they grow up. By immortalising your baby's nickname in your layout, you can embarrass them with it for years to come! Don't rob yourself of that right. JOURNALING WITH PATTERNED PAPER No one ever said you could only use your Sissix machine on PLAIN cardstock. I found a great paper from Paper Adventures, which really resonated well with the pattern on our kitchen floor. DOES MATTING MATTER? Your photo matting choices - just like your choice of cardstock, patterns or embellishments - should serve the layout as a whole. So with this layout I felt that matting would have added nothing and maybe diluted the impact. TEAR AWAY As this is a baby boy's layout, I wanted to convey William's extrovert nature with a torn paper edge, which I think does echo a free spirit. To keep with the free and informal feel, I wrote my journaling in free hand. SCRAPPING BOYS Before you say 'good idea', you might want to feast your eyes on some great page kits for baby boys as well as this great and inexpensive collection of over 100 baby scrapbook layouts and of course embellishments. My layout is very simple - yours can be as complex and glorious as the fancy takes you! To return from Baby boys scrapbook to the Home Page
