First things First

by Ramona Greenspan (Dec 28, 2004)

There are many things that we or our children do for the first time. Some of them are more memorable than others. Why not scrapbook a few of those memorable feats? You can create a few “first” pages or even dedicate an entire album to layouts of firsts.

Here are several examples of layout ideas:

If you have several “first” layouts, you can create an entire album of firsts. If an entire full-size album seems too daunting, try a mini-album of your child's firsts. You can even create one for each child. Some album title ideas:

  • Firsts
  • Milestones
  • Accomplishments

Whatever the event, if it is the first time, remember to record it in your scrapbooks. You will enjoy looking back through the years at your growth, or that of a loved one.
