In case you haven’t, we thought we’d share a few of the 271 baby inspired projects featured in this issue.
Little Emily by Laura Vegas, as seen in the Scrapbooking Babies & Toddlers special issue of Creating Keepsakes.
Supply Tip In addition to fun motifs that bring baby to mind, look for textured supplies that will help you recall the softness of baby’s clothes, toys, and skin.
