Scrap That Baby

One of the most popular scrapbooking subjects seems to be children. Who wouldn’t love to use an adorable photo of their baby as the center of their page? While I have no children of my own, I have to admit, scrapbooking about my friends children and children in my family is a true joy! Documenting a child’s life is something they will treasure when they are older. At least that’s a scrapbooker’s hope!

I recently came upon a fantastic challenge blog that provides prompts to help you document your child’s life in a scrapbook page. Sarah Rice has put together a fantastic Design Team, as well, to help inspire you.

The Bumbo by Tracey Campbell

Supplies: Paper, Stickers, Journal Spot: BasicGrey, Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, Alphabet: American Crafts, Doodlebug Design, Ink: VersaColor (Tsukineko), Pens: Signo (Uni-ball).

What being on this team means to you: Working as part of a Design Team is a great way to make new friends all of who have a love for scrapbooking, in this particular case we all love to scrap about some of the most important people in our lives….our babies. I know I am always inspired by my teammates and I hope I inspire them and I love the idea that we can bounce ideas off each other, if need be.

Journaling: 2 babies 1 chair = my sanity. It can’t get any better than this… we bought the Bumbo chair for Bronte and she loved it. Paige was given it as a hand –me-down and she loved it. I loved it most of all!!!
