Then came the baby album. I just started working on Amelia's "Baby Album". And perfectionism has reared its ugly head. This is a special album. Somehow it needs to be better and perfect.
Or so says the little voice in my head every time I start a page. "Oh. This is her first bath. It needs to be special" "Oh. This is her first smile. It needs to be special." "Oh. This is the first time I took pictures of her with carrots on her face. It needs to be special." Blah Blah Blah.
OK. On to other things.
Normally I don't like to share bookclub pages until bookclub, but I wanted to share my first "old paper" page. I like it. I have one other old paper idea in my head. Hey! Maybe I'll do another!
(Note to Minda...ok, I hear ya'. Yeah, I did cut out the stem and leaf freehand.)
And in the interest of equal time. Here is a page from Margaret's "Baby Book". I did this at CJ's, but don't think I had posted it yet.
Back to struggle with the little voice in my head...

Love your pages! I totally agree with your perfect post. I don't do straight lines very well, so I'm okay that my lo's are not perfectly square. I just made a graduation album for my sitter who just got her bachelor's degree. Since it was a gift and most of her family would be here to see it, I was totally freaked out. I had this concept of an album she could finish but I had the hardest time not freaking out about it being perfect.
