Starting the baby book–where do I begin?
When you are starting to make a scrapbook for a gift, you can save yourself several trips to the craft store and some time and energy by coming up with a plan ahead of time. What I have done for this baby book gift is bought the album, bought a coordinated paper kit and brainstormed some possible titles for pages(while watching T.V.). Since this book is for my cousin’s family who is adopting, some of the pages will be adapted for that situation. For example, one of the first pages may be titled “The Day We Met” or “Love At First Sight” instead of “Coming Home” or “At the Hospital” or other birth-related titles. There are books available to help you come up with titles if that process would slow you down or you get stuck. I seem to have somewhat of a knack for coming up with catchy and funny titles so coming up with a list went fairly quickly. Here is a picture of the album(it’s a girl) and the coordinating paper pack I got at the local craft store.
