"The Best" Day 5 – Sweet Baby Part 2 and BPS
Yesterday I introduced the Creating Keepsakes Sweet Baby KOTM and shared what I consider to be the first half of the kit. The second half of the kit is all for documenting your baby’s month by month milestones.
As many of you have commented, this week has taken a lot of work to prepare for! I had hoped to have Elias’s first few months done for today, but I simply couldn’t get them done. The whole holiday season thing cut into my scrapping a bit. lol. I hope you can understand and forgive me. 🙂
The good news is that a lot of fabulous scrapbookers have used the baby kit to create awesome layouts. Check them out below.
This kit is so user friendly. However, because it comes with SO much product, you might find yourself wishing for a little guidance. Well, I have just the answer!
Big Picture Scrapbooking offers a Projects Now! class called Baby’s First Year. For just $10, you can instantly have access to this web-based guide about creating your baby’s first scrapbook. The class comes with sketches, prompts, samples and more. It is the perfect pairing with Becky’s kit.
If you aren’t familiar with BPS, I encourage you to check out their site. The classes they offer are awesome and worth every penny.
Today, I have TWO Baby’s First Year classes to give away – hooray! Just leave a comment below and I will draw a winner next Friday. Also, if you haven’t done so:
- Add the Best in Baby Scrapbooking button to your blog and leave a comment here for an extra entry. This will also enter you to win one of several exclusive prizes just for those who post the button.
- Leave a comment on Monday’s post to win a prize pack from Die Cuts With A View and Elle’s Studio.
- Leave a comment on Tuesday’s post to win a prize pack from Aimee J.
- Leave a comment on Wednesday’s post to win a prize pack from Making Memories.
- Leave a comment on Thursday’s post to win a kit from Creating Keepsakes.
Thank you so much for making The Best in Baby Scrapbooking such a huge success. I hope I provided you with some inspiration and knowledge about some of the great products out there to chronicle your kids’ stories. I have been humbled by all the comments and emails. I hope you will continue to pop in and say hello.
This sounds like a perfect kit for documenting all of those special moments! LOVE the ideas!!

I love the Big Picture Scrapbooking classes. I just took my first BPS class a few months ago with May Flaum called Recipes for Scrapbook Success and loved it! It was totally worth the money and I learned so much to get me back into scrapbooking.
I’d been looking at the Projects Now classes and with all the choices I wasn’t sure which one to buy. I’ve heard they are all good…but I’d love the chance to win the Baby’s First Year class. Thanks for showing us all the products available, as most are ones I wasn’t aware of.
class sounds great!
The class sounds fun! I would love to take it. Thanks for offering such fun stuff on your blog!
This kit might just be my stand by baby gift that I give everyone when I have to go to a shower. Bev, Cadillac, MI

Everyday I read your blog on scrap booking and I get more and more excited and motivated to be creative!
Thanks Jessica!

Some great uses of the kit. I think we all hear you about the season cutting into other time. I’m still wondering where this month has gone!
have 3 babies (8-6-4) and not ONE baby album even started for any of them. This would be great!
I never win…………..however, you can’t win if you don’t play! 🙂
Great job this week, Jessica! I've loved looking at all of your pages & you've done an incredible job putting it all together!
Hi Jessica,
Re-entering the wold of scrapbooking after a hiatus of several years, and this is the first I’ve heard of online classes. That is so perfect for me as the mom of two small ones. Thanks for your inspiring ideas!
Thanks for all the ideas and for taking the time & effort to put this all together for this week.
Great idea – I’m always looking for ideas and inspirations!
With a 4 month old I don’t really have time to scrapbook much these days. However I am making a effort to do lots of journaling so I will be ready when I can scrapbook again. Thanks for the tip on the classes!
Ooh, that class sounds fantastic! Thanks for the great ideas. 🙂
Great ideas!
A baby kit is such good idea! Time flys when you have babies….
Jessica,
thanks for the tip about the bps baby class! I still have baby pages to finish and i think that might be a big help to me. I didn’t realize they had this class. Thank you for all the awesome ideas this week. I have enjoyed every day.
my girl is already 6 mos and no pages yet
That class sounds wonderful! THanks for the great giveaway.
Your pages are AMAZING! I am in awe how you are getting so much scrap booking done, working full time and you’re a new mom! How do you do it? Do you sleep?

Best of Baby Scrapbooking week has been great! Thanks! You’ve definitely given me some great ideas!!
So fun!! Again, another great idea!!
Sounds like a great class. Thanks for the giveaway.
These are beautiful!
I would love to do an online class. Especially because I live in Germany and that`s the chance to participate.
Liebe Gruesse von Deutschland !
Frohe Weihnachten !
The class is a great idea…sometimes you just need a little help when you have a lot of product and don’t know what to do with it! Thanks again for the giveaway!
I’m loving all these posts!
OMGoodness…love the Santa shots!!
I love the idea of doing it as an online class – it takes a lot of intimidation out of it!
How fun! I’ve done Ok with my 2nd and 3rd child’s baby book…and then I realized I had totally neglected my first born. This would really help with that!
Another great idea! I would love to win this class to get some ideas! 🙂
You have most defintly succeeded in providing all of us tons and tons of inspiration. I actually have Becky’s kit and after seeing your video finally got it out and started scrapbooking – THANKS!! And thanks for the chance to win some fun classes!! You Rock!!
Jenn h.
Thanx for showing us all these great products and what you’ve done with them.
I added your blinkie to my blog 🙂
i love how versatile this stuff is!
This sounds like a wonderful kit for documenting all the moment of a babies life.
I love BPS classes. Thanks for highlighting the class and for everything you’ve done this week!
I just unearthed a baby album of my son…who is now 44. It is falling apart and in need of the things being preserved. Count me in on a chance to win the materials here. It would be put to good use preserving his baby book. Not many photos but I was pleasantly surprized how much I had documented & journaled. Thanks!!
Darlene
I love the classes on BPS – I just took one in November – they are the best.
This second half would make a great mini album for someone! Thanks! Laura P
The class sounds like a great idea! It would definitely help me get caught up on my son’s first year and not forget any of those special moments!
Super cute! You have some awesome ideas! Count me in!
I love this kit. It almost makes me want another baby so I can use it!
