"First Year" scrap book

Emily and I are going to a baby shower for my cousin's girlfriend at my Aunt's house this afternoon. My friend Beth has been working on "first year" themed baby books and selling them recently, and she's been encouraging me to do some scrapping (which I've never done, but have been making my own cards for about a year now). After seeing her book, I was inspired to attempt one of my own. I kept it in all pink and brown themes because the mom-to-be is a self-proclaimed NON-girly-girl and the bedding they chose is pink and brown. I wanted to keep it on the simple side so it didn't end up being too frilly.

It's an 8X8 pink corderoy book, which up until YESTERDAY seemed like the textured material was enough "detail", but then I started to feel like it needed SOMETHING (this is what happens when you complete a project and then have two weeks to sit around nit-picking it!!), so then I added some ribbon and faux buttons:


Attached to the inside cover is the ultrasound picture they handed out, announcing the baby is a girl, and the very first page you see has a paper-crafted pregnant lady, and then a picture of the mom-to-be posing for a side-view belly picture. I don't have pictures of that because I thought I'd scanned them in, but I see now I haven't, but the book is already nicely wrapped, so it's too late! LOL

I included a small calendar on each of the monthly pages, for documentation of teeth, rolling over, sitting up, first visitors, first baths, first trips, etc etc etc etc... I've since hand-written in the name of the month and all the date numbers. There's also a spot on each page to attach a picture of baby at each given month old (there are clear photo corners to slide the picture in so they don't have to be glued or taped down).

Here's the newborn page:


Here's the one month page:


Here's the two month page:

Here's the 12 month page (it scanned as two different colors for each page, but it's really a shade of inbetween those two...LOL):


And the last page (one pay layout) is for a picture of baby covered in cake at her first birthday party:
