Scrapbooking Your Sleeping Baby
I liked to watch my children sleep. They would curl up into a little ball or pull their knees underneath their bodies, pushing their butts in the air. If they were lying on their backs, their tiny chests rose and fell with each precious breath. Your beautiful baby has been entrusted to your care. What a miracle of God!
I’ve heard it said that if a baby smiles while they are asleep, it means that they are playing with the angels. It brings a whole new meaning to the blessing, “Sweet Dreams”. Does your baby sleep like an angel? I pray that all babies dream of heaven when they close their eyes at night. The sound of my children’s breathing was music to my ears.
Picture Ideas:
Babies, just like adults, sleep in many different positions. Each of baby’s sleeping positions is cuter than the last. Capture baby in the crib, on the blanket, on the couch, and in the playpen. Sometimes baby will sleep wherever they fall after playing.
Take a picture of baby sleeping on top of a teddy bear or mommy and daddy. Baby may even fall asleep in the corner of the couch. I have a picture of my youngest son sleeping in the corner of the couch wearing a pair of 3-D glasses. I laugh every time I see it.
If baby has a “lovie” or blankie he sleeps with, be sure to get lots of pictures of baby sleeping with it.
Scrapbooking Ideas:
A background of clouds and angels would be an appropriate setting for baby’s snoozing pictures. Paste a picture on each cloud. Or, crop your pictures in the shape of clouds with a blue construction paper background.
Take a cotton ball and glue pieces of it around each picture to emphasize the cloud effect. Add angel stickers to round out the page.
