Whether he's still a little treasure or has all grown up and made his way into the world, your boy will have given you a lot of memories which explains why a baby boy scrapbook is a preferred choice. Its only after they have made the choice to make one, that many scrapbookers become unglued at the simplest way to put one together. Well fear not I'm glad to pass along some tips that could help you with your next one!
First and foremost avoid pink! I don't think this will apply to several of you, but I've seen a baby boy scrapbook that was done with a generally pink theme. Most people that went to view the book thought that it was one for a girl. I don't say you've got to choose blue, but unless you would like to actually shake up the social norms, pink is best left for another project.
Now, I am not going to dictate what colour you baby boy scrapbook should be. Many of us go with a good bet and choose the standard pale blue that most associate with boys. I would encourage you to split out a bit and have a look at some other colors maybe your boys favourite color, or the colours of his favourite super hero?
Secondly, get creative with the photos and designs. Your son will know what he looked like growing up, what he'll have forgotten is some of the clothes he used to wear and the toys he used to play with and his childhood friends. These are some examples of the fundamental things he is going to remember from his infancy ( with a little memory jogging ), that he may have or will forget when he grows up.
Ultimately, remember to add a handful of different materials to the scrapbook. Some buttons or material from his favorite sweater, a bit of a toy that broke off or some of the design that they made at school always makes for great pieces to add into your baby boy scrapbook.
