Baby Shower Scrapbooking Layouts Easy Enough for Beginners

November 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Hand Crafted

A baby shower is one of the most important events in a mother’s life, and of course she will want to find orginal baby shower scrapbooking layouts to capture her memories.  All those cute presents and all the friends and relative that gather should be remembered and some baby shower scrapbooking layouts can be just the thing for that! Are you looking for more baby scrapbooking tips?

Many different paper collections and templates are available for scrapbooking a baby shower.  Many scrapbook companies put together pages that are set with frames for photos, cute sayings, and everything you need to make a baby scrapbook page.  If you’re new to scrapbooking or aren’t creatively gifted then these baby shower scrapbooking layouts can be the right thing for you.  All that’s needed are those pictures!  But some people aren’t interested in having their pages already designed for them but still are a bit overwhelmed with what to do when it comes to making up their own baby shower scrapbooking layouts.

Many people use the traditional baby colors of pink and blue for their layouts, but you can really use any colors you like.Try autumn colors on your baby shower scrapbooking pages – rusty red, warm yellow and chocolate brown work well together.  One reason for this is that these colors are somewhat neutral and a bit easier on the eyes than strong blues, but aren’t as washed out as pink can sometime seem.  You might also try these same colors but in primary shades, meaning red, blue and yellow.  Usually baby toys are tinted with primary colors so this can really be appropriate for baby shower scrapbooking layouts.

Get creative with the scrapbook sayings and the fonts you use.  Many opt for “childish” fonts that resemble the writing of a child but there’s no need to do this if you prefer something more elegant or something simpler.  You can put the child’s name or a simple phrase such as “Baby Boy” or “Baby Girl” across the top of any baby shower scrapbooking layouts and some simple wording underneath in a smaller font for a nice touch. Try using cricut electronic die cut machine to create your letters.    And remember that you don’t need to work the word “baby” into your layouts – try words like Love, Welcome, Family, and Cherished.
