This Baby Scrapbook Idea is easy to copy. All you need is solid cardstock and a few different patterned papers. Add a few embellishments and your photos, and this page will be complete. I used patterned papers leftover from another project. Using a Martha Stewart Paper Punch, I added a scalloped border to one strip.
