Baby Boy Scrapbook Pages: Just Arrived

Some of my most viewed scrapbook posts are of LB's baby layouts, like his newborn pages.  It seems a lot of people are interested in baby boy ideas!  I've made quite a dent in the pages I want to make for LB's First Year Album and have several ready to post.  I've decided to start a weekly series of Baby Boy Scrapbook Pages.  I'm excited to share what I've done so far!

I also thought this would be a good way of getting back to my main creative passion, memory keeping and papercrafts.  I hope you all enjoy and get some ideas for simple and easy to create pages.  There probably won't be many fancy tricks or elaborate techniques because I just don't have time for all that!  My scrapbook philosophy is to keep the focus on the stories and pictures.  Not that I don't love product, you all know I love to shop for new supplies but I try to make sure it's my photos that shine. 

For my first post in this new series I have a page with the type of photos many moms of newborns have, pictures of their sweet slumbering baby.  These are of LB right after he came home.  I hope you can tell how darling he looks, despite the glare on the plastic of the page protector.

To create this page, I took at look at the pictures I wanted to use and then took a look at the two 6X12 scraps of paper I had.  Then things just kind of came together.  While it's a fairly simple page, I think the layered paper "banners" and rhinestone on the text are just the right amount of detail for this sweet newborn page.
