First Year Album and a Freebie!


I recently made an album for my daughter’s first year. I needed a home for all of the journaling I had done from each month. So I gathered up some of my most favorite supplies and set to work on it. I am most excited about the little footprints, which I scanned from her birth certificate and made into a brush in photoshop. Ahhh, the beauty of digital. (see below for the FREE set of footprints)

If you are in need of a “baby book,” this is it! Hand over a couple of pictures from each month and some journaling if you have any. If not, I could easily substitute quotes for the journaling. I will do all of the work for you. What a great way to see the first year at a glance! This also makes a great gift for grandparents and other relatives. See my pricing page for discount info on multiple books, a definite advantage of digital products.

Now for the freebie. I was so excited about the little feet that I decided to give them away, the stamps that is. Instructions are include.

Very cute! I love the little feet too. I also like the nice neutral you used and the edges. Very cute! I may have to do something similar for Bo. Of course, I want to use his footprints -- you may have to walk me through how you scanned them to make the brush. :) Very, very cute!

Ya know, I bet you could sell the template of this... oh, to me. :)

Wow! I love your album. It is so beautiful and I think I might be able to do something like this. I love the simple format and how you repeated the footprints each month. So creative!

Oh how cute! My twins share the same birth date as your daughter. :) Makes it even more special to me. Thanks for such cute little feet prints! I may have to scrap lift some of your album. :)

Beautiful album! I love it!

I had scanned two of my kiddos footprints and used them on their "feet" pages.

Unfortunately, my last sons will not scan in properly. Only the left foot looks good.
