I want to keep these cards but I am not sure what to do with them besides leave them in a box to be sifted through. I am doing my daughters scrapbook and I thought maybe I could include them somehow but I need some ideas.

Set a goal to preserve the special & unique–and cull the cards that are run of the mill or from your boss' wife's sister. Maybe only 2 or 3 cards of the bunch should be kept whole.

Cut out cute graphics from your discards to embellish the pages. Cut out the signatures from the cards, or even the interior message & signature, and make separate scrapbook pages for each shower you had. Each page or spread of 2 pages can serve as a "guest book" for your daughter to see who her early fans were.

The ones I have bought before, you cut out the phrase and rubbed it onto the paper but these arent rubbing off. How do i transfer them?

In addition to the above answer, you can use brads, eyelets, ribbons, stickers or many other things to hold them down. Be creative.

I've done the same thing. I bought a book of quotes thinking I could rub them onto wood to make signs, but they weren't rub ons. Live 'n learn.

So heres the thing, there will be a baby arriving in my family next year (not mine may i add!) and i thought a nice thoughtful gift would be to make a scrapbook of what their name means, no1 song and album on that day, horoscope etc. Has anyone got any other ideas i could include?? many thanks xxx
Make up some extra scrapbook pages first photo, first smile, first tooth etc leaving a blank space to add the photo

i want a baby book! i want to mack it but if you know where in portland OR i can get one cheep please tell me!!!! i also need ideas on what kinda things to wright about! i am on a budget so if u know where i can get one cheep tell me!(i dont buy off the internet!)

hallmark or wall mart. anything u think is cute is good enough to write about. like my youngest was about 2 weeks old we were watching the magic toll booth. the boy kept going back and forth cos he couldn’t believe he was turned from boy to cartoon and back again (like james and the giant peach) anyway each way through the tool booth kept saying bye. after about the fifth my daughter clear as a bell said bye, couldn’t get her to repeat it but wrote it in her book as a cute memory. didn’t start talking til she was about 3 mos old for the rest of it. anyway her book is soft (cardboard) cover i laminated it so with the lamination paper and and the book think i spent about 5 $ total add doctor visits, height and weight each visit. starts teething, first tooth, anything that is of interest to u.

I decided to make a scrapbook for my baby instead of buying a baby memories book. Do you have any ideas about what is in a regular baby book? Like what kind of questions do they ask about before the baby is born and after and what kind of questions do they ask about the parents? like the fill in the blank questions so i can in a way make my own baby book?

I did that for my son. I love scrapbooking and thought it seemed fit. Here are the pages I included:

1. Maternity Pictures–and brief story about my pregnancy with him.
2. Ultra sound pictures–and a brief story about what we did when we found out he was a boy.
3. Picture family tree–this includes my side and his dad's side one two pages.
4. Birthday Pictures–when he was born pictures, hospital bands, stories about who was there and just funny things that happened.
5. Birth Announcement and copy of Birth Certificate
6. ALL the firsts.
——First Easter
——First Christmas
——First Halloween
——First Thanksgiving
——First Fourth of July
——First Tooth
——First Bath
——First Birthday
I think you get the point.
7. Baptism.

I pretty much told the story of his first year. I told funny stories about things he did. Used pictures to explain his favorite stories, songs, noises, and toys. I used my favorite pictures to outline everything. It turned out great.

Best of Luck and Congratulations!

I got myself all excited the other day, I found some cute Winnie the Pooh themed scrapbooking baby supplies and decided I just had to write a post to you all about them. Any baby album is beautiful but sometimes carrying a certain theme through the whole album can just be so much fun and the results are just spectacular. So what better theme then good ol’ Winnie The Pooh?

One of the best things about using a Winnie the Pooh theme throughout your scrapbooking baby album, is that it really doesn’t matter what the gender of baby is, Winnie the Pooh suits baby boys just as much as it suits baby girls. So you know what that also means don’t you? It is absolutely perfect as a baby shower gift as well. So if you have a friend or family member who is expecting, you can easily compile a few Winnie the Pooh supplies, like an album, some stickers and pack of themed paper and it will make a wonderful gift.

The other thing of course, is if it is you yourself who is expecting, then you can use it to start scrapping some photos before baby is born. The ultrasound photos, some photos of your beautiful pregnant belly, photos of excited family members and perhaps some of the nursery as you are creating it.

So have a look and give it some thought, maybe your next album could be a Winnie the Pooh album or some other Disney Scrapbook theme, I know lots of parents who actually go with the whole Winnie the Pooh theme even for the nursery, so why not have it as your scrapbooking baby album theme as well? I’m sure you will love it.

i started making a scrapbook for my unborn daughter (shes due in december) my pages are 8.5×11 but i can't find an actually decent scrapbook that size to pu them in! my theme is disney, but i want the cover to be pink or disney but girly, does anyone know any good sites to find that cause when i type that in i just get 8.5×11 papers, i just need the book!

It seems we can never find what we are looking for…:) have you checked Michaels or maybe a local scrapbooking store. If not, Have you thought about making the cover yourself. If you get a plain pink album there are those great 3d stickers from Disney that you can place on the front! Buy some letter stickers and write her name too!! Just an idea hope it helps. You might also want to try the Oriental trading co. website under scrapbooking.

i am making a scrapbook for my little baby boy and i was wondering if you guys had any quotes or lyrics of inspirational songs? i want to make it special with tons of pix and wisdom words haha.

thanks

In the eyes of a child…there is joy, there is laughter… there is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future…""

Boys are found everywhere — on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.

There was a never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.

One of the most obvious results of having a baby around the house is to turn two good people into complete idiots who probably wouldn't have been much worse than mere imbeciles without it.

What are little boys, made of?
Frogs and snails,
And puppy dog tails,
That's what little boys, are made of.

To be in your child's memories tomorrow, be in his life today.

Alan Marshall Beck
A boy is a magical creature you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. You can get him out of your study, but you can't get him out of your mind. Might as well give up he is your captor, your jailer, your boss and your master a freckled-faced, pint-sized, cat-chasing bundle of noise. But when you come home at night with only the shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words Hi, Dad!

Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it

A crying baby is the best form of birth control.

James Thurber
Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.

Frederick Leboyer
Being touched and caressed, being massaged, is food for the infant; food as necessary as minerals, vitamins, and proteins. Deprived of this food, the name of which is love, babies would rather die. And often they do.

Charles Osgood
Babies are always more trouble than you thought — and more wonderful.

Maureen Hawkins
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of love.

i have never done one before, basically where do i start? i dont have any supplies either.. i've been to some craft stores and they have so many things to choose from but i feel lost. any ideas?

Congrats on your growing family! I started scrapping when my son was 9-months-old.

I've answered a simliar question in the past and my best advice it to just relax and realize that there is no right or wrong way to scrap. It should always be fun. Do you feel comfortable playing with a computer? If you do - then I would encourage you to consider getting started with digital scrapping. You can always do "regular" scrapping as well but you can easily get a feel for what you like and what your style will be by playing with a digi-program. And that way you can also decide later whether you want to do 12×12, 9×9, 8×8, 6×6 or 4×4 You'd be able to save your work for now and get albums later. Some people swear by strap-hinge and wouldn't use anything else. Check it all out and don't feel pressured to choose just one company or one line - that's silly - there is just so much cool stuff out there.

Email me if you have questions - I'll be glad to try and point you to helpful resources.
