Complete an entire scrapbook album for yourself or for a gift in just one weekend using these pages as your road map. Each page is unique, has coordinated colors and embellishments, and each pair of pages contains a quick and easy paper piecing design. This scrapbook, created by designer Jennifer Schmidt, is shown as an album for a baby girl. The scrapbook has an adorable nautical theme that would work equally well for a baby boy simply by swapping out the pink colored papers for blue solids and prints. The design and patterns for this scrapbook would also be perfect for a beach or travel theme vacation scrapbook.

Pages 8-9 - Anchor with Hand Stitching Pages

This beautiful double page spread uses hand stitching to embellish both pages in a flowing rope-like line. At the end of this line, you can find a very simple, one piece, paper piecing of an anchor. This layout will work not only for this nautical theme baby scrapbook but also for any beach, cruise, or vacation theme scrapbook page.

The sailboat and lighthouse themes are revisited on pages 12-13. This time the sailboat is sailing off behind the photos and the lighthouse has a more rounded top and a patterned paper base. Once again free paper piecing patterns are included for both embellishments.

The final pages of the scrapbook use patterns from earlier in the album to tie the whole thing together. These last three pages have room for 4 more special photos and plenty of space for journaling.
