Baby's First Month

I am getting a lot of my pages done during Devi's naps.  It's forcing me to stay home and not run around so much.  This is a good thing.

It's always fun starting a new album.  I've given a lot of thought to how I wanted to document Devi's life.  I pre-purchased several albums to fill, because I've learned from past mistakes that scrapbooking is trendy and items become discontinued within months.

I'm using a rainbow of 12x12 faux leather albums from Becky Higgins and WeRMemory Keepers

Title page for Devi's baby album.

All products from Felicity Jane.

I really debated about what size of album to use for Devi's first year.  I ultimately chose 12x12 because I know that this will be a continuation from birth through her school years, just like my other kids.  I love that the versatility of a 12x12 album will incorporate all sizes of pages.  I'm inserting these 6x6 pocket envelopes with memorabilia - her ultrasounds, hospital bracelet, and coming home outfit.

Polka dot envelope and small plastic envelope from old Becky Higgins Baby Kit.  The ultrasounds pocket is from Becky Higgins Project Life.

 A page about the details of her birth.

I changed up the size to an 8.5x11 for her birth story.  When doing this, I always need to think about the same size page on the back.

I chose to put the story of meeting her siblings on the back.
