I just found out that one of my best friends is pregnant (YAY!  ), and I immediately started working on a baby book for her. I've been using a lot of neutral colors (orange, green, yellow, etc) since we don't know what it is yet, and I like the way it's turning out. However, I've been looking around the gallery looking at baby book pages, and they're all gender-themed. Does anyone have any neutral baby pages they can share with me to give me ideas and inspiration? Thanks in advance!

I don't have a gallery, but I've made baby pages with baby animals, stars, bottles, teething rings, footprints in colors other than blue or pink, diapers, diaper pins, etc. Blue or pink touches can always be added later.

I saw a great idea where someone did calender pages and then the opposite page had room for pictures. I am going to do this for DS's album when I start it soon. I am still unpacking my scrap room/ office but I will put all the milstones on the calender side and a picture (s) from each month on the opposite page. I would love to get this as a gift

I have baby pages in my gallery. You can pick what you like and just change colors.

This is the way I make baby gift albums. I have 2 or 3 of them in my gallery in an album called "Gifts: Baby's 1st Year Albums" if you want to peek. They're not my greatest work, but *shrug* They get it done.

This is true, I didn't really think about that one.

Wow, thanks! I like that you did it month by month, and you didn't strictly use "baby-themed" embellishments. Very cool idea!

I've been looking at some other baby books here online, and I'm finding that I'm getting ideas, gender-themed or not. Can I have your links to other baby books out there? You have all been so helpful!

Animal themes work great for both genders. I have a baby boy and I still put some pink on his baby book pages.
