baby's first album

I finished the baby's first year album! yah! it feels good to be done with that, now all I have to do is add pictures and journaling each month.

How I did it:

-when Kennedy was a baby, this class came out at Big Picture Scrapbooking

-I took the class and did Kennedy's first year album as she was growing. She was only like a couple weeks old when it came out and I started it.

-Because her first album is one of my FAVORITE albums to look through, I knew I wanted to do another one for this baby. Babies grow so much in their first year and everything is a milestone. Plus, you have oodles of pictures that you want to remember and scrapbook and share.

-So, using the same guides, I just chose a new color pallet and got to work. I changed very little from the class. I just love the simple design and space for lots of pics. And next to zero embellishments keeps it timeless and easy. The main thing I changed was the "watching you grow page" where you put a picture from each "monthly birthday". I made that layout different to kind of stick out just for fun

-take a look and enjoy! I sure love it.

by the way, If this baby ends up being a boy, well then, this just adds one more thing to laugh about. Her room is done and ready to go. Although that won't take long to change-there is not a lot of decorating in there- we have ZERO boy clothes. ZERO! Brian will have to leave the hospital to buy something boyish to bring him home in! But.....if that happens....that is just fine with us. Whatever the gender, its gonna be loved. I'll just have to save the album for a different baby (mine or someone else's)

later:)
