When talking about embellishing baby food jars for scrapbooking, obviously the baby food jars themselves cannot go in the scrapbook as they just won't fit!  Not to mention the fact that they're made of glass and just not safe either.  So what do we mean when we talk about embellishing baby food jars for scrapbooking; how do you do this, and how does it work into a scrapbook?

A great suggestion for creating baby scrapbooks is to keep records of many things about the baby's first moments and years of life so that you can look back and remember all those details many years later.  For instance, you might take pictures of the nursery, the outside of the house, the car you're driving, and things such as these so that you can recall what your life was like the moment you brought that child into the world.  Embellishing baby food jars for scrapbooking means dressing them up in such a way that you can take photos of them that are appropriate for scrapbooks.  You can add personal messages or notes that you want to preserve and use these as labels and then take pictures of them for the pages.

Another idea when it comes to embellishing baby food jars for scrapbooking is to simply save the real label from the baby food jar and use these as subjects of the page.  Some good ideas and suggestions for dressing them up might include using photos of the baby in the high chair trying to eat the food; if they have some on their face, all the better!  Babies are usually cuter when they're a bit messy and more realistic.  If you're embellishing baby food jars for scrapbooking in this way, be sure to use some wording and paragraphs to express your thoughts and feelings right then.  You can use fun and silly phrases such as, "Some actually wound up in his mouth!"  Or, "Carrots obviously aren't her first choice!"

You might also consider keeping other mementos when embellishing baby food jars for scrapbooking, such as the lid of the jar (washed thoroughly of course) or baby's first bib.  Use food elements for added decorations; you can have stickers of different vegetables as picture borders, or if you're very artistic, try using a large sketch of a high chair as a background to make your page unique and personal.
