Scrapbooking Ideas for Your Theme

The starting point of your scrapbooking idea is your theme. A baby girls’ scrapbooking idea might revolve around a theme of playmates, sisters, or just baby girls. If they have curly hair, your theme might be “Curlyheads” and feature Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, the first lines of which are:

There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead

Scrapbooking Idea for Your Title Page

Once you have decided on a theme, you will highlight your scrapbooking idea on the album’s first page. Picture this first page.

Mr. Longfellow’s poem, handwritten, is surrounded by pink and white borders. Below is a curl from each baby girl. Baby-themed stickers complete the page.

Scrapbooking Idea for First Photo Pages

The next two pages express your scrapbook idea in photos.

Matching pages of pink photo mounting paper. Pink and white gingham ribbon runs down each side of the 2-page spread. In the center of each page is a photo of a baby girl in white dress or blanket. Each photo is mounted on torn rose-colored paper. Above each photo, a banner sticker reads “Baby Girls”. The sticker has pink rosebud bouquets at each end. Below each photo is a lace-and-flowers name tag sticker with the girl’s vital statistics.

Scrapbooking Ideas for Remaining Pages

After your title page and initial photo pages are complete, there are many scrapbooking ideas for baby girls. Remember, combine photos with plain and patterned papers, stickers, and other things – especially notes (journaling) of your memories. Die-cuts of baby items are a cute scrapbooking idea, too.
