Before my twins were born I printed out 2 calenders starting with the month they were born till their first birthday. I pasted them to scrapbook paper and made coordinating pages so when my bundles arrived I could write the milestones on the calenders and paste the photos on the facing pages. It worked out so well I made such an album for my sister who is expecting her first child this month:
I used my handy dandy cricut ( doodle charms cart and of course SCAL software and you can save 10% with the code: 1847253) Here is a little peek at some of the the album pages:
To print your own calendar visit this site. Remember this book is going to be filled with adorable baby pictures so you can keep the pages simple. I spent most of the day Saturday making the 27 page album but you could do it over a few evenings. To see this idea applied to a wall calendar click here and here.
Thanks for stopping by and till next time Happy Crafting!
Lindsay, that’s so cute! I haven’t finished my DD’s album yet (she’s due in Dec.) I think I’ll add a few pages like this. TFS
