I'm working on two-page spreads of DS's first year. I took pictures of him every month wearing a white onesie with the month he had just turned on it. They're really cute pictures! I still have 7 more months of this project to complete, though. I'm really trying to complete it this year. What I've been doing is using patterned paper with numbers on it as a highlight paper OR using a string of numbers that I've cut on my Silhouette and circling the month he is in the photos, or making that number another color, etc. Here are some examples of what I've done so far: Examples of numbers cut on my Silhouette: Example of Number paper (actually didn't use a ton here): I also have this piece of paper and some coordinating ones from Fancy Pants to do another page. Can you think of any others that work for these? Most of the numbers on the onesies themselves are like an aqua blue, grass green, or orange. Since these are for my DS, I'm trying to keep the colors more boy-like. A smidge of pink is ok, but don't want it to look girly. Any others I need to get that you can think of? I'm going to place an order this week so that I have these ready for a crop I'm going to. Also, here's a bonus layout I did with one photo from each month (as a side note, all of these were done with kits from Back Porch Memories so far, I just realized. Ha.) Thanks for looking and for your help!!!

Aww, thanks! I think I'll love them all in his album but yikes they are a lot of work. I found another number paper by Carta Bella and one from Echo Park to add to my cart (can add pics later - in on my phone and can't get the links to post). I need 5 more papers or stamps or something with numbers on them! If you've used anything or seen anything lately, please let me know. My brain is mushy from prepping the rest of these monthly pics for my crop

Wow, really gorgeous layouts. I love how you were able to be creative while still maintaining the focus being the photos. I am going to save your layouts to use when the time comes!

Alissa, You are rocking the two page layouts. I love them all, and your baby is adorable. I don't have suggestions for any paper, but I love what you've done so far.

Oooo, leftover stickers!!! Great idea! I think I saved a LO for inspiration that did that with letters. And yeah, that Eveyday Circus paper is one I have! Great minds. And the Carta Bella is in my cart too. Just added that! I like that TH ribbon... I think I "need" that. Thanks!!!

I was going to suggest anything Echo Park. But I do like that Farmhouse pack. I want to add that these layouts are awesome (and the little man is adorable!)! Love your style, it's right up my alley Just might have to scrap lift these, since I'm just starting my (just turned 3, Saturday! ) youngest's baby album! And I've gathered these colors and some of the papers already.

Thanks, ladies, for all the help shopping and compliments on both my sweet guy and also my work I now have a nice little selection in my shopping basket now. I can't wait to get moving on the rest of these! I will post the remaining as I get them done. I actually have the one with the Fancy Pants paper almost finished and will post it soon since that was one of the papers I did have already. Yay!
