subject: New Baby Page Embellishments [print this page] There are many stickers and stamps that feature baby products such as bottles, bibs and diapers. These can add a personal touch to your scrapbook that is sure to be treasured for years to come.
Baby layouts seem to lean more towards pastel colors rather than bright and vivid colors. Ribbon is a great idea to add in as well. There are many kinds such as silk or satin. These can add a great texture to any scrapbook. You can use it as a border and use it with pictures or stamps that have been cut out. You can make a boy's page blue and yellow, and a girl's page pinks and whites or purples. Ribbon is versatile and can be used for many different things.
You can even use paper doilies in your scrapbook. You can place it on the page and color over it with chalk. When the doily is picked up off the paper, you will have a nice border or background. Use soft colors for baby pages to make it more appealing.
One of the best ways to make your embellishments on the page is to use a stamp. You color it, cut it out, and then mount it onto a backing. Chalks can give you a soft and more natural option. Glazes can be used if you are looking for more vivid colors. Here are a few more things you can place on a baby page.
Hearts
They are now not only used for Valentine's Day. The one thing a baby won over from their parent's the moment they were born. You can add jewels to them and make them stand out more.
Stars
They can be any size and can be made from a craft punch. Every baby is considered a star in their parents' eye.
Cartoon Characters
Disney Princess characters are the big hit for girls nowadays. It's the perfect addition but there are other characters as well both for girls and boys.
Bibs, bottles, sheep and diapers are always going to look good for baby books. Add a little color and some texture to make them even better. There are many ways to use these patterns and designs. They come in stickers, stamps and cut-outs as well.
Even for those of you who do not have all the time in the world to do your own embellishments, there are plenty of options.
When it comes to scrapbooking, the point is not only to create a memory or something beautiful, but to create something personal and one that will be treasured forever. For example, if you are making one for a girl, take some ribbon from a dress she wore for a special occasion that had meaning to her. Also, note it in your description. By making it personal, your scrapbook will have more meaning to them and can even lead to them being passed down from generation to generation.
