The First Day of your Life


Let's create a page about the first day of your life.  Find a hospital baby picture or a newborn picture.
I scanned mine into my computer (it was a black and white print).  I then printed it out on 8x8 cream colored or light tan cardstock.  It gave it an aged look which I liked.  You could have added some WordArt of your name and maybe the date of birth too.  The second page can be statistics like birth weight, length, doctor, parents, grandparents names, etc.  In my album I added a page of things that were happening in the world on that date (year or month).  These dates in time can be found from websites.  For example http://dmarie.com/timecap/ is a great one.  At this site you can type in your date and it allows you to choose news headlines, famous people with the same birthdate, popular songs, popular TV shows, toys, books.  It also gives you a list of average prices of things for that time period.  This can be printed out for you to put in your album.

I will post my layout later today.  If you would like to email me a newborn layout of you, I might be inclined to add it to my blog.  comecropwithme@kc.rr.com
