Scrapbooking Adventures

I said in previous posts that one of my latest obsessions is the idea of scrapbooking, or making a baby book, so I want to post some of my ideas that I've created so far. I downloaded the Blurb Book Smart program, which seems like one of the easiest ways to create your own professional looking book for a decent price. I like that I can edit so many things and there aren't just a bunch of presets to choose from. So, even though my photo collection thus far is pretty limited, since the whole baby thing is in progress, I just had to get started anyways to satisfy my craving to make something awesome! I started planning the pages, so hopefully once I do have the pictures and text, it won't take as much time- since I'm gathering I won't have much of that at first.

I got the idea of making baby word clouds from a scrapbooking pinboard I saw on Pinterest the other day. The blog it's from can be found here, and I really recommend it to anyone who has their own family and likes to stay creative. She makes the best little things and I've really found so much inspiration from her! These are the hypothetical word clouds I made in Photoshop. Obviously I'll have to change some things because who knows when baby will actually be born, and it depends on if it's a girl or boy.

I'm pretty proud of them myself, and I figured I could do similar things for each month, with words that highlight what baby has been up to. So far it's not much, but it's getting me really excited for the baby to come so I can take millions of pictures!

I finally checked my order status today from Old Navy, because I still haven't gotten the things I ordered, and I was really upset to find out that my orders have been canceled all this time that I've been waiting! The last time I ordered from there I had a different e-mail, so my order information was all sent there, and I have since forgotten the password, so I had no idea. And now the things I ordered are probably sold out completely. So, I was really bummed about that today.

I made a bunch of new things for the blog today, too. I made a new header since my template was so boring before. I love the color scheme! It's actually the one I used to make the boy word cloud. Turquoise/teal is my favorite color of all time, and orange just goes so well with it. I found both of the color schemes from Kuler, which is sponsored by Adobe, and it's really the cooled site I've come across. You should really check it out!

My posts are so long and meaningless to most people probably, and no one is probably even reading any of this, but I'm excited to some day come back and read all the silly things I have posted. I always love doing that with old journals, and I end up thinking "Ugh! That was so corny! I can't believe I wrote that!". Haha!

Time to do some homework and studying, though. Catch ya later!
