Baby Album Page Layouts


Above is my version of "Cute as a Button" layout. I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVEN'T JOURNALED THIS! This is evidence that one should journal the day a page is completed. I completed this ages ago, and I'm sure I don't remember a whole lot of what went on. The Creative Memory journaling prompts below might be helpful. They really delve into details--which is where I need to improve! (Layouts from 1996 Ed. Scrapbook Page Design and Layout Ideas, p. 24 and Creative Memories Idea Book, Vol. V, p. 26)
I used this example to complete the layout shown.
Photographic Time-Line of the baby's first year.

Baby Layout Journaling Prompts:
Who did you call first when you found out you were pregnant?
How long did you keep the secret?
What was hubby's reaction to the news?
How did the two of you select a name?
What noises does the baby make?
How long was the hospital visit?
Who were the first visitors?
Who has the baby inherited certain features from?
What are your future dreams for the baby?
Who does the baby look like?
What special things does the baby do?
Where does the baby seem the most content?
When does the baby sleep?
