It really is a lot of fun scrapbooking these baby photos.\u00a0 As I work with them the memories just keep flooding back.<\/p>\n

This “Blessing from Heaven” border has been in my stash for a long time.\u00a0 It really wasn’t my style anymore, but some trimming, matting and an application of Spiced Marmalade<\/a> and Faded jeans<\/a>\u00a0Distress Ink seemed to help.\u00a0 The punch used on the orange photo mats\u00a0is the Doily Lace Edge Craft Punch\u00a0by Martha Stewart.<\/p>\n

I also used Vintage Photo, Broken China<\/a>\u00a0and Peeled Paint<\/a>\u00a0Distress Inks on this layout.\u00a0 Just can’t get enough Distress!<\/p>\n

So here I was, 22 years after my son’s birth, scrapbooking his baby pictures.\u00a0 I had a dilemma, though, how to incorporate the baby book I had worked on at the time?<\/p>\n

It seemed important to keep the original pages with my handwritten notes, but these pages were bound into a book and were double sided.\u00a0 I wanted them to be part of the new pages, and not a separate book.\u00a0 What to do?<\/p>\n

After asking around on some scrapbooking forums, I was given a brilliant idea!\u00a0 I cut a ‘frame’ in a regular 12×12 page and mounted each page from his book into the opening so you can see both sides of the page of the original book.\u00a0\u00a0I trimmed the edges of each frame with ribbon, so it didn’t looked pasted in.<\/p>\n

\"using<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m quite pleased with the results, and now I don’t have a second book to keep track of.<\/p>\n
