I know that when my kids someday leave me to have lives all their own (sniffle, sniffle) I don’t want to be giving them a million scrapbook albums of their childhood. So I came up with a plan :o)
I’ve had this plan for a while but I am finally starting to work some of it out.
Each child of mine will have two albums. The first will cover birth to one year and the second will be from one year to eighteen years. The birth/baby album will be no problem, but in order to have 1 to 18 years in one album I will only be able to dedicate one or two layouts to each year.
My daughter’s baby album is all done except for the last page that I am designing paper and a timeline of her milestones for. And I have been working on my son’s baby album as you have seen from the layouts I sometimes share.
Since I have pretty much only been scrapping my son I miss scrapping my daughter, so I decided to go thru the pictures of her whole first year and pick which special ones will be for the first and second layouts. I even made a slideshow for you :o) And someday soon I will share the layouts with you. I have all the picture sizes planned and ready to print.
Of coarse this is not ALL I will be scrapping of my children. I will still have an ongoing family album for my husband and I, and when we are gone they can fight over their favorite layouts to divide them amongst themselves.
