If any of you follow my articles, you know I like clean, categorized pages in my articles, usually written in some sort of file-like format, right? Well, this month, babies came my way and there was just no formatting this article. I got to pick just nine of the best layouts submitted – which was no easy task! – and run with it! No order, no format, no organization.
However, in the process of planning, I thought that it’s quite funny that I couldn’t organize these baby layouts. I think we all know, as mothers and fathers, that any previous sense of organization goes right out the window as soon as baby planning begins!
On that note, one of my favorite times to scrap was prenatal. Something about those magical ultrasound pictures, I guess, that put a little extra joy on the page – like Bethany’s! Pets are another popular topic; I actually expected tons of animal baby submissions on this one – take a look at Alidalis’ baby and pet combo! I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of heritage scrapbooking, so I was pleased as plum punch to show Gail’s page –
with pictures from 1918!

Design
note:
I used a ghost arrow & bling circle to show where the body parts were in the photos because a lot of people in my family have such a hard time finding the little body parts in sonograms. I cut a wavy edge on the paper & edged it with lots of layers of flowers, buttons, brads & gems to give it a different look & more texture.

Journaling:
Dad & I were so excited to
finally get a good look at you and have all
our questions answered! The technician
showed us your 2 arms and 2 legs. Your
little fingers, and tiny toes. We got this
great picture of your little foot, looks
just like an imprint in the sand! You kept
kicking and moving all over the place. She
had a hard time checking your heartbeat
because you wouldn't be still. Finally at
the end of the sonogram I asked her, "So is
it a girl? or a boy?" and she said she
couldn't tell! Dad and I were so
disappointed! Hopefully we will find out ay
my next doctors appointment. It was so
amazing and beautiful to see you! We cannot
wait to meet you little one.

note: See your die cuts with an open mind. Here I used a cloud die as a sentiment bubble. Also, when using a lot of neutral colors in your layout, try adding a punch of color like I did here with the blue flower, tabs and buttons.

Editor’s
Note:
One of the current trends
is really going back to basics – reducing
clutter and focusing on the photograph. This
classic style works especially well with
wonderful heritage photos.
Design
note:
I maximized the white
space and kept embellishments to a minimum
to focus on these wonderful heritage photos.
