Fortunately, retailers of scrapbooking supplies have recognized the tremendous need for keeping those precious photos safe, and now offer a nearly unlimited supply of patterned papers, stickers and dye cuts to commemorate just about every special moment in a baby’s life!
The down side is that you can be faced with so many choices of craft supplies to use to make an album to hold all of those special pictures; it is easy to get overwhelmed with choices. The best way to overcome this overload of selection is to determine what photos you would like to work with before heading to the craft store. Many experts in the field of scrapbooking will suggest a baby scrapbooking layout by working with your most recent photos first and working backwards in time.
Others will advise you to choose a special event such as a holiday to create as a first baby scrapbooking layout. Whichever method you decide to work with, having an idea in mind of the theme you will be creating will help you tremendously when you begin selecting the materials to create your baby scrapbooking layout.
Something else to save in thought as you start scrapbooking, is that you do not have to be limited by papers, stickers and photos as you are making your boy or girl scrapbooking planning. You can include items like a copy of the birth certificate, the footprints from the hospital and a lock of hair from the first haircut to make your album special and unique to your child.
Remember that many of these keepsakes will not be acid-free and photo-safe, so when you place them onto the baby scrapbooking layout do not allow them to touch your pictures. If your photos rub elbows with anything in your scrapbook that is not of archival quality, it can cause damage to the photos by scratching them or causing them to discolor.
