Other Baby Scrapbook Ideas
Quotes from popular songs can also make great additions to your scrapbook layouts. You could use something traditional, like the lyrics to the popular lullaby Hush, Little Baby, or go with a more modern choice such as Amy Grant's song Baby Baby.
Another great idea to help personalize your scrapbook album is to use sayings from friends and family members. If your scrapbook is for a child who has older siblings, ask them to contribute their observations to the book. For example, what did your son say the first time he met his new baby sister? Did your daughter have any unusual theories about how her younger brother would fit into the family?

If you're looking for creative ways to incorporate quotes into your pages, try one or more of the following ideas:
- Search for free fonts with baby themes to add creative typographical treatments to your quotes.
- Repeat the quote across a plain cardstock background to make your own custom patterned paper.
- Add your favorite quote to a piece of vellum, then layer it over a photo for a soft and dreamy effect.
- Use rub-on letters to add a quote to the empty background space in a large photo of your newborn.
- Stamp the quote onto a strip of ribbon using your favorite alphabet stamps.
- Add a quote to a tag embellished with themed stickers and die cuts.
- If you're going to use a quote as your page title, combine sticker letters, alphabet brads, and chipboard to create a fun mixed media effect.
