I’m working along with a challenge at Designer Digitals called 10 Weeks 2 Treasure. The basic idea is to spend ten weeks putting together a twenty page photo book that can be uploaded and printed at Shutterfly. Each week a new two page template layout is available at the Designer Digitals Store to use in making the book.
I thought this was the perfect time to work on baby books for my children. I haven’t completed a cohesive album for them yet and it’s something that I’ve really desired to do.
At this point, it is taking me a little longer to get it done. I’m not able to work very well during the day because of being focused on being a mom around here. But by the end of the first week, I did have the first page of the book completed for EA, MC, and Will. It’s basically the birth page.
Take a look and let me know what you think!

I’m realizing that unless I get a ton of time to work, it’s bound to take more than ten weeks to complete this project. But it is actually THREE projects! And they will be DONE!!!

Beautiful! Wow. Those are awesome, Monica! I will have to look into that. I have not completed a book for either of my boys, and this looks great!
Hope you are doing well.

Gorgeous pages..all of them. I will be so jealous when you are DONE with these books all at the same time. Way to go, and way to go on being focused on being a ‘mom’ and putting the other things to the side for now. It’s such an unselfish thing to do. I need to follow your example.

How wonderful. Good for you to even start. Good luck!

oh i think i need to do that too…do all 3 at the same time!! i’m so upset that maddy’s birth was so unexpected that i never left the hospital after my last shift, and forgot to tell jeff to bring the camera when he came to the hospital…so i got no birth pictures of maddy 🙁 🙁 but at least i made up for it the following days!

Very beautiful. I love how they all coordinate with each other 🙂

You should look at eurobook.us – they have some really nice cover and size options that you might not be able to find at Shutterfly.

BEAUTIFUL pages Monica! You can do it.. keep pressing on. What a wonderful feat it will be to have all 3 finished and what a priceless treasure for your family they will be. Can’t wait to see more of your progress.

Wow! Those pages are beautiful! I did a baby book for Jackson, but sadly, the Alex, the #2, does not have one. I need some of your scrapbooking talent. These are just amazing!
