When creating a page layout of a boy or girl generally it is a good idea to stick with traditional shades of blue or pink for you scrapbooking ideas. The colours will of course depend on the gender of the child. In this case, because the photos are of a boy the main colour used in this scrapbooking page is blue.

The corner of this scrapbook page idea has been created by tearing a sheet of patterned vellum paper. The vellum already has a baby theme on it so there was no need to add further embellishments to it. However if you use a plain sheet of vellum you can easily decorate it by using rubber stamps and stamping onto it, inking it, drawing with scrapbook pens, or even adding a few brads.

If you are inking onto vellum you will need to use a fast drying ink pad such as Stazon. Velum tends to soak up ink and lets it bleed into the paper. A fast drying ink will reduce this considerably living a crisper image.

Along the edge of the velum, eyelets have been placed so that ribbon can be passed though the holes. There are many devices available that can be used to set an eyelet including a cropadile, eyelet setters where you would need to use a hammer and ones where a weight is dropped onto the top of the setter.

As you can see in the picture, a length of blue ribbon has been passed through the eyelet holes and then tied into a bow at the end.

The photo has been placed behind a shop bought photo frame. In this instance the photo frame matches the velum that has been placed in the corner of the scrapbook page. Having the teddy bear in the corner really gives the page a child like theme.

The embellishments also match the photo frame as well as the corner of the scrapbook page. They have been cut from a sheet of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper and have been attached to the scrapbooking layout using 3d foam pads.

This scrapbooking page idea contains very little in the way of embellishments and because it only contains one small photo it works really well and is very simple to create.

Your scrapbooking page ideas can of course contain some journaling to remind you of any significant dates or events. Journaling can be done in a variety of ways either freehand or using scrapbook stickers.
