A Baby’s Journal

We have a new addition to our family.  I would like you all to meet Jaiden. 

Jaiden 

Amber, my niece,  gave birth to Jaiden on July 6, 2010.  He weighed 7 lb. 1 oz. and was 21 inches long. 

I made a little gift for him and I wanted to share it with all of you.   It’s a Journal Book for “Mommy” to record  “Special Moments” during his first 12 months. 

Below is a picture of  the front of the Journal Book.  The space to the left is  blank so that  “Mommy” can insert a picture of Jaiden.  I used my Cricut to cut the crown and letters for his name.    001 

One Month Old….I left room so pictures could be added.003

Two Months Old….I made a pocket so keepsakes could be placed inside.

In October he will be three months old.   I tried to coordinate the months with certain colors.  I love the orange and blue!

I really love making homemade gifts.   I have another niece who has a daughter that will be starting kindergarten this fall and to think my twin grandsons will be starting pre-school as well this fall….Oh My, I  know what I’ll be making…….more journal books!

  1. Wow, that is soooo pretty. Your family is lucky that you make them things like that. I love to scrapbook, but never made me own whole journal book or anything like that. Inspiration.

  2. Good Morning Gail,
    What a beautiful keepsake you created! That is a very special gift. I love all the detail you added to each page. Your niece will have a wonderful time filling it with all the 1st year pictures and changes that Jaiden goes through. You definitely are getting your use out of the Cricut!
    Have a great day.
