PIF Scrapbook: "Introducing Title Page"

A few Months Ago, I came to a "Scrapping Block" I wanted to do more work on my Sons baby book, but I just didn't have the motivation or inspiration to continue onto the next page. I kept finding all these pieces of paper, with wonderful ideas to use, but didn't suit what I wanted to do with his book... and then one day I was out op-shopping... I came across an 8x8 unused scrapbook with "Baby Boy" written on it. An idea was born: It wasn't my style, but I had always wanted to look into making baby books for other people - if only to use up my excess supplies I would otherwise not use, and to support the hobby. I belong to a Pay it Forward site on Facebook, so I started there to test my idea and to see if I could do it...

I offered the 8x8 scrapbook and for me to do a baby book for someone - including a title page, a page for each month of the first year and 7 milestone pages. In the end, the lady who I chose to do it for asked me to do a few things a little bit different... She didn't want milestones, or the traditional months - she wanted to go by the seasons and have blank pages for her to be able to make her own collages of photos for each theme. I have never done an 8x8 book before (usually I do 12 x12) and I usually have photo's to go by to base the page on - But, I was up for the challenge! This project is what I ended up doing for her.

This is the first page in the book - It has Baby's name (which I have blanked out due to privacy) the birthdate and space on the page for the mum to write the measurements etc. also a small spot for a photo if she desires. :-)

Cardstock is from me stash of papers, the patterned paper also, the name lettering is from a kit from Kmart, the journaling paper is from the "Lifebok" journal pad by "DCWV". The apostrophe is from "Rosies" range at The Warehouse and the little tokens with the dates on it are a rare find from the local $2 store.
