One of the best ideas for a baby shower gift I have seen was a pre-made baby scrapbook! The gift giver had taken an 8x8 scrapbook album and done pages for each month of baby's life up to one year! This way, a busy mom can keep up by picking one photo per month and placing it in the already made photo album. I made one for my son over a weekend before he was born and used 8x8 paper (Michael's and Joann Crafts have a great selection, Joann's also had a 8x8
baby theme scrapbook stack with paper, stickers, vellum quotes, etc) and
Mat Stack 4.5x6.5 cardstock sheets. Place the 4x6 piece on as your picture (it is slightly larger than a photo and will frame it nicely) and create your page around it. I also included pages for holidays, first bath, etc. A weekend's worth of work to keep up on a year of scrapbooking works for me... check out other great tips at

I love making scrapbooks as gifts. This has become my normal baby gift because it has a personal touch that I enjoy! It's sad though that I haven't scrapbooked for myself since I got pregnant. Let's scrapbook in the coming weeks, I desperately need to!
I love those. What a great idea!
