I've decided to add my scrapbooking pages to my blog. I just have to. I'm sorry to those of you who just want recipes-by maybe I can inspire you to scrapbook? OR, maybe it'll just confirm that you don't want to get into such a big project! I'll start with Kaden's scrapbook (which is barely started) and throw in some pages from the scrapbook I made for my Grandparents last year. And someday I might even be brave enough to share my first ever pages-of my wedding.
When you start something like this you definitely have your favorite pages and your "other" pages. Those are the ones you aren't exactly proud of but you're not gonna try to redo them because they kicked your butt the first time. I'll try to make sure I let you know which ones are which! So, without further ado, here is the first 3 pages of Kaden's scrapbook. Keep in mind-I didn't have my (amazingly wonderful) Cricut when I started this one!
Kaden's scrapbook is a Horizontal 8 1/2in X 11in size book which makes page layouts interesting! I decided early on to have a jungle theme for his book as well as 5 different colors to work with. Lesson number 1 (you learn as you go) five colors is too few. In the future, I will pick 5 solids and 5 prints or something like that. This first page just introduces my favorite little boy with some of my favorite first pictures of him. He looks so relaxed!
The next two photos are the next pages. As you open the book you'll see these pages together, so try to imagine it that way! I decided to go back in time to my (lovely) pregnant days. This was a fun and easy layout because the pictures put themselves in order. Please try not to notice how huge I got. He was a big baby, okay!
I just noticed as I was "previewing" my blog to make sure I had the pictures in the right order that there is an ELEPHANT on the same page as my huge preggo pics. REALLY, Bethany??? REALLY? I so did not mean for that, but, it is somewhat ironic. SIGH. This really is what I mean by "learning as you go"... Note to self: no more elephants on pages with pregnant women". The END.
Thank you for this post
