Ideas for Autumn Baby Scrapbook

The autumn season is a time for making plans as you look forward to your new baby as well as the upcoming family holidays. Get a head start on your scrapbooking even before he or she arrives. To add a personal touch, include cards and notes you receive from friends and family about the baby on the way. The autumn baby scrapbook will serve as a lasting treasury of the seasonal celebrations for years.

* Color in outlines of harvest fruits such as apples, strawberries, and cherry with colorful gel pens

* Draw images on the page backgrounds (Artistic talent is not mandatory!)

* Trace Ivy stencils for scrapbook page borders

Two important autumn holidays you will want to scrapbook are Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Brew up Halloween Fun!

Title for picture of baby in Halloween costume

Spooky Cutie

* Place stickers of scary spiders and spider webs onto scrapbook page

* 3D glow paint can be used to make the pages come to life!

* Make or apply a bubbling over witch's caldron

* Adhere baby photos dressed in either costume or just baby's face

* Scenes to include are potion bottles, witch riding a broomstick, witch hat.

* Decorate around photos with tiny sparkling jewels or black and orange dots

Give Thanks!

For decorating autumn baby scrapbook pages, give thanks with a poem written by you or copy down a favorite Thanksgiving prayer. A great idea is to record family Thanksgiving traditions such as list foods that were always present at dinners.

* A title for the page could be Baby Thanksgiving!

* Place tiny photos of baby peeking out from behind a few of the letters

* Pages can be decorated with falling autumn leaves, pumpkins, cornucopias, Indian corn, and turkeys dressed in pilgrim hats

* Find a fall themed scrapbook layout and customize it to your own creative design!

* Download pre-made Thanksgiving scrapbook pages and paste on decorations

* Creating journal entry titles or captions is as easy as adding stickers or cutouts to your autumn baby scrapbook.

* Glue images directly on scrapbook paper and trim to size using craft scissors or a paper trimmer.

Types of stickers and kits to use

Patterns for harvest fruit, vegetables, Jack o' Lanterns, scarecrows, black cat, squirrel, ghost, crow, owl, witches, lanterns, and cornstalks are available. One great benefit from purchasing autumn stickers and kits to use are most of the scenes are interchangeable and can be used all season long.

How to create a page layout

* Top of the page- baby's name and what the name means

Example: Emily- To Strive or Excel

* Note how baby was named

* City, State, Country where born

* Time, Day, and Date of birth

* Weight, height, eye and hair color

* Footprint, handprint, first baby photo

*Picture of parents, grandparents, siblings
