Baby Girl Album

[InspireSpirit]

I am literally about to start making an album as a gift for a special friend. It is for a baby girl (she is now 18months) and I have photos from her birth up until today.
I don't know, at the moment, whether to do 12 x 12 or A4 (I am literally starting tomorrow).
If anyone has any layouts they can link me to, I would be very grateful. Also any ideas on papers, embellies etc.
Plus I want to buy an album for this project, as opposed to making the covers etc. so if anyone knows where I can buy a beautiful baby album from, this might give me the incentive to decide on size. (It is going to be a wedding gift, so I want it to be really special).

Having 2 boys, I am not really au fait with baby girl papers. I am thinking something like Once upon a springtime, graphic 45, but not really sure it is 'baby' enough.

All ideas will be gratefully received.

Hi there - it must be the weekend for it! I'm expecting my first baby in 3 months and am going to start this weekend creating some page layouts so that I just have to slot the photos in a the relevant time! For some reason, I don't think I'm going to have as much free time once the baby arrives.... ;o)

I don't know what I'm having yet, so my pages are going to be unisex rather than pink or blue, but I have done plenty of browsing of supplies and will be using a mix of supplies from the Ducks in a Row range by October Afternoon and the HG Baby collection by Heidi Swapp. There are a couple of albums that I like by Crafty Blitz, but I haven't made a decision on that yet - I'll just use a spare album to store the pages until I get something.

If I knew I was having a girl though, I would probably get one of the Little House album kits by K&Co as that includes a beautiful album that you can put a picture in and the name of the baby on the cover. It comes with papers and some embellishments but there's always room for more if you want like ribbons and a bit of sparkle! I saw the kit on the Craftz Boutique website. I also saw some nice albums on the Kalulu website.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing your work! Your friend is very lucky to be getting such a personal and precious gift - she'll love it!

I did almost one page per month for my DD ad it was the first scrapbooking i ever did. I did them all 12x12. If i can find some photos on photobucket i will post them, but like i said, they were my first ever attempts!!

There's a few in my gallery Sally, my little grandaughter is now 7 month old.There's some more on my blog but you'd have to trawl through the rest of the grandchildren
I bought a 12 x 12 pink American Craft Album from Sarah's Cards to put Sophie's in. You can get a lot more pages in a D ring Album.
I've just bought some My Minds Eye Lost & Found 2 again from Sarah's to make some more pages and it's beautiful. Suitable for baby baby photos and for toddlers. Both the blush & breeze would be suitable IMO

Thank you very much everyone. Beautiful layouts. I am now filled with lots of inspiration and cannot wait to get started. I'll post on here when it is done.

I'm watching this thread with interest, my first granddaughter arrived on Friday and I will be doing an album for her, as I did for her big brother. For him I did one page a month for the first year then after that did a page about every three months recording events, Christmas, birthday, having fun in the paddling pool, etc. He still has pages in my family album, but I didn't want his one to get too big too quick.
