Keeping a Scrapbook

You’re probably one of the proud moms out there who have witnessed your baby reaching a number of milestones like laughing for the first time, clapping, crawling and walking, all deserving of a celebration. You’ve thrown a great first party in honor of these major milestone and the party you’ve organized was so cool which everyone enjoyed. Hats off to you, super mommy!

Now there are a lot of things that you want to remember about your child’s birthday. How beautiful your decorations were, how your baby giggled with the clown’s funny acts, how delighted the guest kids were and so on. Now is the time to record your child’s first birthday party in a scrapbook! Let me share some ideas you may want to include on your next digital scrapbooking baby project .

What Entries Should You Write?

Instead of just having the usual birthday photos with short captions, try to be more in depth in saving all the details of the party. Since your baby won’t remember much about his/her first birthday party, it’s your job to you to keep a record of your child’s celebration. Journal all the lovely details. Use the following questions as get-away points of your digital scrapbooking baby project:

  • Why did you and your husband decide to throw a party for your child?

    The Stage.

  • Who were the invited guests?

  • How did you decorate the party venue?

  • What was the party’s theme?

  • What costume did your son wear? Who designed it?

  • Who was the party host?

  • What were the games played?

  • What prizes were given to the winners?

  • How did your baby behave during the party?

  • Were your guests happy?
