Baby Scrapbook Ideas Using Different Types Of Paper

If you’re making a baby scrapbook, ideas can be found in all kinds of resources and materials. One of the ways to give the baby’s album a gentle theme or mood is through your choice of paper.

Both the color and the texture of the paper lend character to your pages. Traditionally, babies tend to be associated with soft, pastel shades, pink for girls and blue for boys - although there’s absolutely no reason for you to feel constrained to follow that convention! Here are some ideas to guide your choice and use of color and texture.

Colored Paper

Additional color can be easily added to your baby scrap book page through different colored backgrounds, borders, and embellishments. A light colored background creates a softer feeling, while a darker background sharpens the focus. Complimentary colors can be slightly lighter or darker than the background to direct the focus towards or away from portions of the page. Contrasting colors can also be used to create a more dramatic or focusing effect away from or towards various baby photographs or mementos.

Simply add, fold, or paste additional sheets of paper into your design for the desired effect.

Textured Paper

Textured paper can also add extra dimension to your baby’s scrapbooking page. It can be used to highlight items on your scrapbook page. Textured paper can also be used as a background or border to give your page an interesting fresh look. It’s available in a variety of textures and colors.
