Tips to use when making baby bath scrapbook page

From the very first cry to all the other firsts you will experience after your baby is born will be memories that you will cherish.

The best way to preserve these memories is by creating a scrapbook. Among these precious memories you will have tucked away is the bath time fun.

Getting Started

The first thing needed when creating a baby bath time scrapbook page are some great photos of your baby enjoying his bath. Babies usually love water and you should have some terrific photos of bath time. Choose one that you particularly like as the focus for the page. This one can be the main one that you build the rest of the page around. A few more of the bath time experience will be used around the main photo.

Copy the photos using a scanner and choose different sizes. Copiers will have different page options for printing. This will allow you to have a page of 3 x 5 or 2 x 3. This is so you can have copies that are smaller or larger for the placement on your page. The main photo you use should be a large photo. The ones you will place around this one should be much smaller so you can use several different photos.

Place the large photo on the page and arrange smaller ones around it along with the embellishments you have chosen. There are a large selection of bath time embellishments such as bathtubs, anchors, boats, ducks, bubbles and various other types. This can all be laid out first to see how you want to arrange them on the baby bath time scrapbook page. Do not permanently attach anything to the page until you have decided on the placement for sure.

Another thing you will want to consider when getting the supplies together for your baby bath scrapbook is the paper you will be using. Buy cardstock that will last over the years. It should be lignin free as well as acid free. Lignin is a major component found in wood.

Although higher quality cardstock is more expensive, when you are making a scrapbook that will last for many years, this is the best choice. A good quality cardstock is also advantageous for the beginner because they will be considering different techniques and the paper does not tear as easily as the cheaper cardstock.

The adhesive you will be using for the baby bath scrapbook page should be acid free as well. This will help to preserve your scrapbook photos for many years to come. A few different types of adhesive should be purchased for different uses. Permanent adhesive as well as repositionable adhesive are a must for the beginning scrap booker.

Choose the letters you will want to use for the page as well. The top of your page may be your childs name and bath time or any other title you want to use. These also come in a variety of styles and colors. Choose the ones that will match the colors you have coordinated for your baby bath time scrapbook pages.

The most important part of the whole baby bath scrapbook page is to have fun while putting it together. This will be enjoyed for many years by you and your child. What fun it will be to share it with his children when the time comes.
