Hello Blog Friends!
I have a very exciting project to tell you about! Over the past 5 months, I have been working during every free moment (they are hard to come by you know) on my special baby – BABY BOOKS! I know how crazy this may sound…. “Lexie has started a business making baby book…” But trust me, this is the REAL DEAL!
The first step was IDEA: It came to me during the middle of the night while contemplating a.)ways to make money and b.)things that people really need. And of course having my 2 babies asleep in their beds added to the inspiration. I started to think about the way we share photo’s – all via social media, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest. And I thought, how will my daughters look at their baby pictures when they grow up? Will they sign onto Facebook and look far back in my photo album history until they find them? Will these platforms one day become “a thing of the past?” The second thought I had was, “With all of the stimuli of amazing, creative, do-it-all, crafty images we see on Pinterest, How can ANYONE measure up?” Let’s face it… being a mom is hard work. You barely have time to take a shower so how on earth are you supposed to have time to scrapbook, do craft projects, decorate for ALL the holidays, document every moment, and do it all with a smile on your face? Well truly it is impossible. We can do parts and pieces of it all. But we can not to all of it.
That is where the idea came from. I wanted to create a “memory book” that captured all of the best moments of baby’s first year of life, and have a physical, living document of it that can be shared, admired and kept for years to come! What else should this memory book be…? It should be modern! It should be trendy! It should have all of those crafty projects you saw on Pinterest right there at your finger tips! No trips to the craft store required.
So I compiled all of my favorite ideas, into one place, made sleek modern designs inspired by current trends and patterns and came up with 10 different Baby Book Themes (Because you don’t want to have the same one as your neighbor).
The next step was to begin producing a prototype. It took several tries, to come up with the ideal solution to the typical scrapbook. You know those pesky plastic sleeves, the ones where the pages always slide out, pictures fall out and your scrapbook becomes… well just SCRAPS. Those plastic sleeves were a no-go from the beginning, which lead us to an incredible solution. Each page is it’s own cut out frame. You can easily slide your picture in from the top and secure it in place with no more than a dot of glue. In one easy step your pictures are framed inside a perfect keepsake book!
Then there was the cover to figure out. I knew I wanted to avoid the fabric wrapped scrapbook binders and do something different. So we figured out a way to make hard covers that will be spiral bound along with the pages. The covers can be customized with your baby’s name as well!
Nothing “babyish” about this Baby Book!
Lastly, I wanted each page of the book to be “frame worthy”. This meant that when it comes to filling out the book, instead of using a pen to fill it in, it could be filled in with custom stickers that matched the font of each book.
Also included are onesie decals to take milestone photo’s of your baby, and include in the book of course!
