Oh, Laurie, this is sooooo wonderful! At first I thought this was your photo! You must look like your mom. :) She has such a sweet face. I'm amazed she kept her baby book...I guess that scrapbooking runs in the family! The papers look lovely, and so does all the inking! LOVE how you added all the info from her year of birth!! Brilliant!!! I know your mom will be thrilled with this page! She's lucky to have a daughter like you :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this LO Laurie!!!! I wish I could see your mom's face when you give her this!!! I'm so jealous that you had her actually baby book to use! and to think that its written in your grandmother's writing!She had gorgeous penmanship! I have a thing for any source of paper with the actual writings of any of my ancestors on it! You lucky duck!
April Heritage challenge entry: this will be the first page in my Mom's heritage album. If I can find an earlier baby picture I will use it, but I have this one in there for now. I went online and found some information on the day she was born, common grocery item prices, top hits, top books etc. You could put the top headlines but they were depressing so I just added "Baby girl born to Gillis' in Nova Scotia! The pink "our baby's record" is a scan of my mom's actual baby book that she has kept all these years, and so is the other pic with the baby reading on it..it has all of her birth information in her mother's handwriting! I found the design a little tricky because I didn't really want to cover anything up!
