One of the most popular ideas to use a Cricut machine for is to design a scrapbook about the children. After all children always love hearing stories from when they were younger, their birth, their first word, the first time they walked and so on. Creating a baby scrapbook means you have something to look through with them as you tell these stories making it even more of a special moment.
Designing the scrapbook needs to be done with care and thought as this is not only something that will be special to you but will also become special to them when it is passed on to them. It gives your children a wonderful sense of just how much you love them. This article gives you a few things to consider when designing a scrapbook for a baby with the Cricut.
First of all think about where you are going to start; the baby shower that was thrown, or the actual birth day? Also make sure you know when you are going to end it - perhaps their first year but this is up to you. Collect things to cricut design idea and include such as gifts, first haircut, pictures of the first smile, things like hand and foot prints. You also need to decide on a cricut design idea, common is blue for a boy and pink for a girl but you do not have to go that way.
Within the scrapbook should be facts such as birth weight and length, pictures and photos that track the baby’s growth, with family, taking a bath, sleeping and so on. Here your Cricut cutting machine comes in great use as it is great for trimming photos. You could even include the ultrasound pictures. You do not need to just have photos in the scrapbook, include a piece of hair from the first haircut, a poem or verse from a nursery rhyme you sung to them, a passage from their favorite bedtime story and so on. Perhaps you could even put in it a simple family tree.
You can also write in the scrapbook, making comments around photos, and sharing memories in it. Using the font cartridges would look beautiful here as you can create great looking wording and add relevant phrasing. Cutout shapes that are relevant to the child, maybe they had a Winnie the pooh nursery so you could use the Disney cartridge to design a themed scrapbook of Winnie the pooh.
Scrapbooks are personal things but I am sure you will create something you and your child will treasure for years.
