A great gift idea for a busy Mother of twins is a twin baby scrapbook pages where all she has to do is put in the photos! (Often enough she will be in need of an extra pair of hands!) Although, some Moms will still want to create unique twin baby scrapbook pages to show off their adorable duo! Hint to a new Mom expecting twins, go ahead and buy two scrapbooks! It is a good idea to make each child their own scrapbook as uniquely different as twins usually grow up to be.
Ideas for twin baby scrapbook pages
*Make a headline page of World Happenings on day of twins' birth
* List #1 Book, Top Movie, show pictures of popular clothing styles
* Paste newspaper clippings of local and national news stories
* Announce the birth of the twins in breaking news style
* Note famous people who share the same birthday as the twins
* Photos of the babies snuggled close together are especially endearing
* Doodle swirls, stars, and whatever comes to mind
Types of paper kits and stickers to use
To save time it is a good idea to buy a paper kit that includes an album. Scrapbook albums come in a variety of sizes. The kits come with coordinated paper and twin related sayings and stickers to customize your style from simple to elaborate.
Make sure to purchase acid free paper to help preserve photos. Baby bottles, diapers, which must be supplied in doubles, are popular sticker choices in twin kits. Sayings such as "My hands are full but so is my heart!" are touching in twin baby scrapbooks.
How to create a page layout
* Choose a theme
Suggested title: It's So Much Better with Two (Winnie the Pooh theme)
Page Background
Create a twins portrait page:
Use your twins' first portraits to create a picture frame on the first page of the scrapbook. Pick out Pooh background paper, two coordinating papers, and ribbon. Overlap the matching papers with the ribbon for a layered look. Cut out blocks of paper and write their twins' names underneath their photo.
Welcome twins home page:
Place a picture of the day your twins arrived home for the first time. Use Pooh and his friends stenciled or colored cutouts to add creative details to the welcome home page. Place photos of family welcoming the twins behind the door of Pooh's tree house in the 100-acre wood surrounded by Eeyore, Kanga, Owl, Piglet, and the rest of the gang.
Twin holiday page:
Put holiday photographs as you celebrate all the first holidays with the twins. The hardest part will be deciding which of the tons of photographs you are sure to have on hand to use! Better start a new twin baby scrapbook! Add holiday stickers such as snowflakes and snowmen.
For girl twins, put together a seasonal spring-themed page background with flowers and paste pictures of your twins in the middle of the flower garden.
For boy twins, make the background sky blue and add a pattern of clouds overhead. Making grass is as easy as cutting out wide strips of green paper. Add images of boys fishing or swimming in a lake or pond.
Twin Baby Scrapbook Vacation:
Journal the twins' first vacation. Disney Baby themes such as Daydreaming Pooh page layouts would work perfectly. Add Pooh sayings to the background. Decorate photos of the twins enjoying the fun filled trip. Include souvenirs and postcards.
