Baby Me

I designed a layout around a baby photo of myself.

It’s strange to look at my own baby photos, it’s almost like looking at my own babies.

Is it weird to want to pick up and hold baby me?

I used my all time favorite Graphic 45 Paper Collection, Baby 2 Bride.

Here’s some more details…

I cut a strip out of one of my favorite sheets and folded it accordion-style.  Then punched holes and strung ribbon through them.  I tied a bow in the middle.

I’ve done this fold/ribbon thing before on a wedding album (last summer), want to see it?  Click HERE.

I love the look of the ribbon running through the folds.

I also like tying embellishments together.  I did again here:

Have you scrapbooked baby photos of yourself?  Does it feel strange to you too?

    Wow Christie! What a fabulous layout! And thanks for the ribbon lesson. I am going to try this with a project that I am “stuck” on! It is the perfect solution!

    You never cease to amaze me with your talent. I don’t live in a city with scrapbook paper. I live in a small town. Does the company you work with have mail order?

    Christie, this layout turned out beautifully! I’ve scrapped photos of myself as a baby, and it was really fun. I think I’ll use my summer break to hang out at PSB and scrap a box of old photos. You’ve inspired me again!!

    I love this page. So far, I’ve only scrapped one page of little me. Do you have more pages of yourself as a baby that you have scrapped so far? Can’t wait to see them.
