Baby, I Love You

Lindsey Krauss

Oh, how I love this article every year! I never, ever tire of baby layouts and honestly, I’m a little sad that my babies aren’t babies to scrap anymore. Will anyone mind if I go back and get some photos from three and six years ago? Can I borrow your baby pictures?

I miss that age, the time as well as the layouts! I never, ever tire of hearing of new babies, seeing baby layouts, or hearing new moms talking about their new babies. I love all the words used to describe our baby ones – little, shine, adore, precious, sweet, miracle – and those are just from the pages featured here.

Isn’t it amazing how one tiny little creature can evoke the same emotions and feelings in new mothers? Take a look at how these mothers were moved to put their experiences down on paper. Becky caught a precious moment in her baby’s eyes with her camera and did a gorgeous job scrapping it to keep the photo and memory alive. Karen took her baby to the blues, and Jennifer’s baby looks like a doll in her photo and she scrapped to match that quaint, gorgeous moment.

 

Design notes: I love the effect of the white gel pen on dark paper. It really makes the word/object pop!

Little Peeker by Becky Williams. Supplies: Paper: Prima, Sassasfras Lass, BasicGrey, Stickers: BasicGrey, Sassafras Lass, Doodlebug, Buttons: Scarlet Lime kit, Brads: American Crafts, Pen: Uniball Signo.

Journaling: This has become your nap time game- peeking out of your crib to see if anyone is watching. Aimee October 2880, 11 months.

 

 

Design notes: The "L" shape as demonstrated in this layout is a foolproof pattern that can be used over and over again to create completely different looks. It can be also turned 90 or 180 degrees for a completely new approach.

You Shine by Karen Messitt. Supply List: Paper: K and Company, Making Memories, Kaszazz, Jenni Bowlin, Tags: Creative Imaginations, Kaszazz, Alpha: American Crafts, Pen: American Crafts, Other: ric rac, old lace, pompoms.

Journaling: "Hey baby boy, your beautiful soul shines out from those big blue eyes. What a wonderful gift we have been given in you. 8 months, Dec 2009"

 

Design notes: I glued the Fancy Pants clear die cuts to the patterned paper with Glossy Accents. I let it dry and cut around the pieces with my Fiskars fingertip craft knife. This way I didn't have to worry about how I would adhere the clear pieces to my layout without the adhesive showing. I also used my Heidi Swapp Edge Distresser along the sides of the paper to add some dimension.

I Adore You by Jennifer Stockard. Supplies: Paper, Stickers: 3 Bugs in a Rug, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Rhinestones: Kaiser Craft, Die-cuts: Fancy Pants, Flowers: Prima, Ink: Clearsnap, Other: buttons.
