Inside my Album: 6 Months

April 20, 2015 By Melissa Shanhun 2 Comments

Each week I share a scrapbook layout to give you a little sneak peek into our family albums, and inspire you to play with pretty pixels too.

Today I’m sharing a page from my little boy's baby album. I printed these layouts as a photobook and I love that he now can see his own baby photos.

Layout: 6 Months

6 Months Baby Report Adobe Photoshop Elements6 Months Baby Report Adobe Photoshop Elements

How I did it

I started this page with the template set I've been using throughout the whole album.

  1. Clip the photos to the template photo spots
  2. Choose a background paper
  3. Clip papers to the paper spots
  4. Move the 6 months label on the right hand page
  5. Fill in the blank photo spots with patterned paper and washi
  6. Create a title with Anna Forrest's All in a Line Script & Action. (Demonstrated in this class!)
  7. Add shadows
  8. Journal with the type tool and my handwriting font

Baby Report: At 6 months you

  • Just learnt to blow raspberries

  • Have worked out your cot is quite fun to play in
  • Love to see who is talking
  • Don’t like Mummy eating or drinking while you are feeding
  • Are 8.6kg and bigger than Emily at 1 year!
  • Love getting your hair brushed
  • Are a little cautious when visitors first arrive
