Scrapbook Ideas For A Baby Boy
Baby photographs are probably one of the most common photos used to create scrapbook ideas. This scrapbook page layout is really simple to make and uses very little from your craft supplies. When it comes to baby scrapbook pages I prefer generally to stick to pastel colours.
For this layout I used a 12 x 12 sheet of tartan paper that has shades of green and blue. Perfect for a little baby boy.
The photo has been positioned behind a scalloped edged frame that has been made from very similar scrapbook paper as the background. It is a yellow tartan paper and the photo has been framed using a gold peel off scrapbook sticker to make the edge of the picture more prominent. A small baby bootie embellishment has also been attached to the frame in the bottom right hand corner using a very strong glue dot.
Placing a peel off sticker around the edge of the photo can make a real difference to the overall page layout. These scrapbook stickers come in so many designs you can adapt the pattern to fit in with the theme and style of your scrapbook page.
The embellishments that have been placed in the corners of the photos have been purchased from a craft store however; you could use buttons, stickers or even make your own embellishments using fimo.
The framed pictures have been attached to the scrapbook page using 3D foam so that it doesn’t look too flat on the scrapbook page.
A small epoxy sticker has been placed onto the page with the child’s name on it. If you do not have these in your craft supplies then you can easily pick these up from your local craft store.
It is always nice to have the date of birth of the child when creating a baby scrapbook page. The date here has been has been hand written onto a piece of the same paper as that used to frame the pictures. Two little duck epoxy stickers have been placed at either end of the wording to tie it in with the rest of the scrapbook page.
Some vellum scrapbook quotes have also been added to the scrapbook layout using a special vellum tape that is transparent so cannot be seen. Inking around the edge as done here, will make the torn edges more prominent.
A nappy pin brad has also been added. Brads are fantastic for decorating a scrapbook page and they come is so many different designs, colours, shapes and sizes, you are never stuck for a brad to fit in with the theme of your page.
