Re: Exciting project!!
I forgot about 1st birthday! Hand and footprints sound great As for the look - maybe keep it fairly neutral and pastel colours so most people would like it. Like pale green or aqua on cream paper maybe. I was going to suggest maybe not using glitter as the stuff tends to fall off all over the place. Although maybe you're a dab hand at sticking it in place! I know on greeting cards it always falls off!

Re: Exciting project!!
Velma - thanks! Some great ideas!
Serendipity - I have special glitter! It's like extra fine - it kind of sticks on like sand does so shouldn't go anywhere! (At least, it didn't last time I used it ...)

Re: Exciting project!!
Good point about the glitter by Serendipity. The fine glitter sounds good for card making, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. but it still might come away a bit on a book that will be frequently opened and closed as it gets filled in throughout the year. Just a thought.
Another possible idea (but it depends how well you know the friend's family or how sneaky you can be! ) could you get a baby photo each of your friend and her partner to put in the book at the start? Maybe ask their parents? It would be a nice comparison and fun to see if the baby looks similar to either photo.

Re: Exciting project!!
Oooh that sounds nice, but I don't know their parents ... I do know one of their sisters though ...
I only plan to use the glitter on small things anyway - for example in the middle of a flower or something! I got glitter glue too,for anything I want a little more glitter on!
They live in Scotland, so was thinking of a "My first snow" page or something?

Re: Exciting project!!
Well here is one page. Looks a bit bare so need to decide what to put on to decorate it! The tag in the pocket is blank on one side to write the birth details on and I have left the front of the pocket blank for a photo!
Photo 2 and 3 shows the two sides of the tag and photo 4 is without the tag inot
I don't know why they are the wrong way round! They were fine on my phone lol

Re: Exciting project!!
Yes, they are sure it's a girl! Mind you another friend was once told girl and had a boy ...! But this couple have had extra scans for various reasons and it has been confirmed!
