This baby scrapbook page layout is based on month five of a pregnancy. Keeping a log of all the pictures and feelings you experience during your pregnancy is something that you can always have to remember.

Because the scan picture is relatively small you may want to consider having it enlarged. However, you may also find this distorts the picture itself and the baby becomes unidentifiable.

With this scrapbook page layout I decided to leave the photograph as it was and add more embellishments and information to fill in the space.

I began with two pieces of 12×12 scrapbook card. Cream bazzill card, and yellow card with flowers on. I used the cream card as the background and tore the patterned paper in half before attaching it to the cream card using sticky dots.

The photo has been mounted onto a pale blue piece of card that has a scalloped edge. You can create this edge yourself using scalloped edged scissors or by drawing around a scalloped edge template and cutting it out using normal scissors.

The words ‘month five’ have been drawn using a stencil and cut out of the same pale blue card are the photo. The words have been placed on the cream side of the scrapbook page layout so that they do not get lost in the patten.

I used a glue pen to stick the letters down as this enabled me to be more precise and get less glue everywhere!.

The tag has information about what is going on at this stage of pregnancy. It is always nice to look back and be reminded of how you felt and what was going on at this time so you can also add some scrapbook quotes or your own journaling here.

The information has been cut from a baby book then mounted onto the same yellow patterned card that was used at the beginning, and also the same blue that was used to mount the picture on. Using the same bits of paper not only helps to make the page correspond but it is a great way to use up all your scraps!

The tag has been tucked behind the yellow patterned paper.

The baby’s cot was a shop purchased embellishment. If you are clever enough you may be able to make and design your own however if you shop around you can find bits and pieces like this from good scrapbook stores at relatively low costs. Pre made embellishments are great for saving time and making a quick scrapbook page layout.

The word baby is a pre made die cut. Again if you have the right tools this is something that is quite achievable with your own hand.

It is always nice to add a bit of ribbon to your scrapbooking ideas and this stripy pastel colored ribbon is perfect for a baby scrapbook page. I have also placed some brads along the ribbon to not only hold the ribbon in place but to make it even more effective.

This baby scrapbook page is very simple and cheap to make.
