Stick to a theme
-
Stick with one theme for each spread (2 side-by-side pages). For instance, if you want to show photos of your baby's first bath, then use bath time background scrapbook paper on your scrapbook spread.
-
Add a decorative border around the spread to create a cohesive series on your scrapbook.
-
You may use the same shape for all of your photos, such as oval or square.
-
Mat each photo the same. Come up with a catchy title, such as "Rub A Dub Dub" or "Squeaky Clean". Make a cute border for your journaling and add a few bath related stickers.
Follow common themes and layouts
-
Another simple idea for your baby girl scrapbook layouts is to use all pink backgrounds using varying shades and patterns. Try pink polka dots, baby pink stripes, tiny pink flower patterns, or simple solid backgrounds in different shades of pink.
-
Also, keep the page borders the same, but only put two borders on each page. One page might have a top and bottom border while another has a top and side one.
-
For the title of each spread use letter rubber stamps and stamp them on beige or white card stock. Draw a square around each letter with thick black lines to give the appearance of wooden blocks. Cut the squares out and stick them onto your baby photo books pages.
Create a simple but stunning first page
For your first baby girl scrapbooking page, put "Welcome Baby" at the top of the page.
Frame a 5×7 photo of your newborn with a soft pink or white frame that is ½ inch wide onto a satin pink background. On one of the corners of the frame, adhere a tiny pink bow. Randomly glue clear or white sequins onto the page.

Purchase packaged baby girl stickers and phrases
Once you mat your photos and add titles to each page or spread, it's time to think about embellishments.
Consider using packaged stickers. You'll find adorable stickers that will fit perfectly with your page's theme. If you want, cut purple or white card stock into a rectangle that's a quarter-inch bigger than the sticker. This will give the sticker an added touch.
Also, look for stickers that contain phrases such as "Baby's Room", "Sweet Dreams", etc. Place them on white card stock or decorative paper and cut a border around each sticker. By using phrase stickers, it can help reduce the amount of journaling needed.

Include congratulation cards and die-cuts
Share those memorable cards you got from baby showers and welcoming notes when your baby first arrived and put them in your baby scrapbook. If not, use some of the pictures from the cards or the die-cuts from the gift bags as embellishments for your layouts.
Keep an eye for words or phrases in fun decorative fonts and cut those out as well. Not only will these add a fun touch to your layouts, but it's also a good way to remember those who gave you and your baby the cards and gifts.
