oh, baby ... you want this kit!
A little bit more information for you to think about over the weekend ...
[ WHAT'S IN THE KIT ]
All this stuff is what you get! Want to see details? That's coming soon. But click on the picture for a larger view.
[ BOY OR GIRL? ]
Both! You'll see what I mean when I show you more soon. In the meantime, just know that even if you are pregnant and don't know what you're having, or you want to get this as a gift for someone who doesn't know what they're having ... you'll be all set. Yay for that.
[ A LITTLE BACKGROUND ]
Remember when I did the original school kit earlier this year? I wanted to keep Porter's school stuff organized well in his scrapbooks and nothing "out there" met my needs or had the look I wanted. So I developed that kit out of necessity, knowing that thousands of other moms were faced with the same challenge.
As I approach the birth of our third child, I have been facing another challenge: Creating and "keeping up" with his baby album as we start taking hundreds of pictures and collecting tons of memorabilia. I love the albums I've created for Porter & Claire, but I'm busier these days with "mom-ness" and know that keeping up with all the kids' albums the way I want to will be increasingly difficult from a time standpoint.
So ... I was, again, looking for a solution. How could I still create a beautiful album for the new babe without feeling completely overwhelmed? Yep - create a kit myself! And, again, share it with all of you. Even if you don't have a baby, you just may be motivated to scrapbook the pictures of your older children or create an album for your niece or nephew. And, of course, most of us know someone having a baby. What a great gift, right!?
[ HOW TO ORDER ]
Stay tuned. You'll want to check back here on Monday for more information, including pricing and when to order. And I have a couple surprises up my sleeve too. So excited!
If you have a question about the kit, leave that in the comments now and I'll do my best to cover it on Monday.

Hi Becky - this kit looks SO beautiful! Make me want to have another baby...(well, not really)...just makes me want to make another baby album! Seriously, I wish something like this was around when I was scrapbooking my two daughters' first years!!
Hi Becky. The kit looks fabulous! The only thing I am worried about is that I am having a boy and there is a lot of pink in this kit. Would you please make sure to address that on Monday? Is the paper doublesided? Thanks!
Kelly
Becky,
This kit is just simply gorgeous, but I would expect nothing less from you! My little boy is almost two and we're planning another baby in the winter, so I'll definitely need to grab two of these kits. Thanks so much for such great work all the time!
Marcella Ryan
Ok, you're making me want to have another baby, which is not the plan for us, since we already have 3! It looks great though, I can't wait to see more!
Hi Becky,
I love this kit! I am leaving to go out of town tomorrow for a week. Will it be for sale in that time, and if so, do you think it will be sold out by then? I don't think I'll have internet access where I'm going. It looks adorable!
What a cute kit. I love all the custom things. You are right. I think it would be perfect to make baby shower gift with. Since I am also not planning on having another baby any time soon. I think we are good. But I do have a a really good friend having a girl next month. Thanks for the peek.
Oh it's beautiful. I can't wait to order! I'm pregnant with baby 3 right now. After two boys, finally a girl! I was feeling the same way as you, how do you keep up with all the scrapping and mementos. Oh what a treat. THANK YOU!
It looks very pretty.....too pretty I think for my boys....I need blue boy stuff...
It looks great. I can't wait to see more details!!! Please tell us if this kit would be good for a boy. Thanks again for a wonderful kit!!
Hi Becky,
This kit looks gorgeous? I'm so behind - my dd is almost six and I don't have her baby album done yet. Can I go back and use this kit?
Thanks!
I cannot contain my excitement right now. This is such a wonderful kit. I am ordering 4 kits. My sister who have a boy already told me to put an order for her. I have to order for my niece who have a boy and I'll give this for his baptism in Oct. (what a perfect timing) another one for my friend who's pregnant with her 4th child (she just found out) and 1for my little one. Love the colors. Will work very good for wither boy or girl. I LOVE those memorabilia envelopes too. Thank you for adding it in the kit. Thanks Becky!!!!
Grace
It looks amazing and can't wait to hear more details. We just adopted a toddler girl - is it generic enough to create a book when we don't have all of the details?
BTW - I love, love, love your two school kits!
I forgot to ask if there's a discount in shipping for ordering multiple kits.
Love the kit...can't wait until Monday.
Hi, Becky!!!
I knew this kit was gonna be just wonderful!!! I have two girls ( 5 and 8 ) and I didn't made their baby albums... Now, I will for sure!!!
Thanks so much again for all your brilliant ideas!!!
Have a good weekend!!!
Karina
hey becky...this looks awesome! I just love those packets to put stuff in...and since I have the expansion kit...I know they are great!! I'm glad I haven't started my 2 yr old's baby book quite yet! YIKES! Question: Can you make those plastic folders available all the time...i.e. just plain??

I'm excited!
This may be the solution to the two piles of baby stuff I haven't dealt with for my daughter and son.
(Both are really not babies anymore! One is 15 and the other 11, LOL!)
I'ts just been too overwhelming to deal with that chapter of their lives.
Would I need 2 kits and then maybe swap the boy and girl stuff around to match?
I love the polka dots and the colors.
If it's anything like the school kit I would definately get 2! Then I'm set.
Thanks Becky. Hope you get the rest you need thru this whole process! I do appreciate your thoughtful effort into this one.
Gratefully,
Terri C
This is perfect for me. I'm expecting #2 in early February and don't plan on finding out the baby's sex (if husband will play along, that is!) When do you think these will ship? Do the kits have blank monthly calendars to fill out daily/weekly milestones? I made one from scratch for #1 where I punched out a separate square for each day of her first year! Definitely don't have the energy to do that this time around! I just love your style - thanks for making this!
I'm so excited. My baby is 5 months old and I just haven't gotten started yet. This is just what I needed! Is this going to be like the school kit- once it's gone, it's gone? Just wondering if I should order for the next little ones we hope to have! Gotta plan ahead, right? Enjoy the last few weeks of your pregnancy!
Michelle
Congradulations on baby #3. The kit is really cute and the colors are awesome!
fabulous kit! my question would be: is there a boy kit and girl kit? thanks! congrats on your new little one!
Very pretty. I have 2 boys and this looks a little to feminine to use for their stuff. Looking forward to seeing how this can be used for both boys and girls. Love the pockets as well. I rec'd so many cards and this is perfect. Please don't have that baby until after you show us more.
LouAnn
Hi,
Sorry to get "off topic," but I have a question about the tabs you used on your recipe book a while back...I can't find any half-circle shaped tabs like yours, they would be so handy for a cookbook, because my regular dividers don't stick out past the plastic page protectors. Thanks!!
Wow, Becky, this looks amazing! You are such a talented kit designer! WOW!!
Amazing kit!
I'm so excited about this kit- I'm expecting our first in March!!!
Hi Becky, Absolutely awesome!!! I am sure you are going to show us the fip sides on Monday. I just wish there was cheaper shipping rates to South Africa.
Hi Becky,
Will you be shipping internationally (Canada)?
thanks
Lisanne
Hi Becky--
It's a darling kit! It almost makes me want to have another one! However, the three I have are already a handful! :)
Amy
I agree with some of the other comments; there is a lot of pink in the kit.
We only have one boy ( Joseph is 11 yrs old now ).
Will the pink items have reversible sides to them so it can be used for boy themed pages??
Love the kit idea!!
Hi Becky. I already left a comment but I was wondering if you could show us two different pictures of the kit, one with all the girl papers and embellishments and one with all the boy papers and embellishments? The picture you have posted does make it look very girly and my hsuband didn't want me to get it for our boy. :(
love the kit. Would you please specify if this kit would work well for boys too. The picture looks very pink. I have three boys, two of which do not have baby albums yet...and they are 4 and 6. YIKES!
I have a friend who is in the process of adopting a child (their first, yeah!!) from S. Korea. My question is....is this kit primarily for birth parents, that will start with month one and work through, or, is it a kit that could be used by someone who doesn't meet their child until that child is say 9mo. to a year old??
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this new baby kit! I am also curious whether I could use this for our sweetie pie who was adopted from China. She is already two and all I have is boxes of photos and memorabilia. I think because it is such an important story to tell I feel a bit locked up about how to tell it. I am tickled to think that just like the school kits helped me unload tubs of memories for her siblings, this baby kit might get all of our adoption photos and memories out for our daughter in a way she can enjoy them. Oh, I do hope the kit works for adoption stories as well. Thanks, Becky! I truly feel like you are unique in the way you can bring quality, beautiful products that always seem to remember how very busy real moms are. You bring great creative solutions!
What an adorable kit. Almost makes me wish I had another baby to scrap for.
Becky, Becky, Becky.
I can't believe all the awesome things you come up with. Just like the school kits, I LOVE the plastic holders for cards, etc. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these kits. How do you do it? How do you read my mind so effectively and put out there just what I need and want?
You're awesome!
Good luck with that new little one!
I just started making a baby album
for my neice-she is 3 weeks old now. Meant to have it done before
she was born, my sister in law is taking the pictures even though she doesn't have album yet. I have some paper and haven't been very motivated. I need more paper and embelishments to complete it. The colors are exactly the colors I already have, so I know this will
go well. I know your ideas will
get me motivated and going on album
again. Hope it comes out Monday.
Cathy
Wow, I LOVE this, looking forward to having another baby and making a wonderful baby album! And it will make a perfect gift for a friend in Sweden too.
Hi Becky, I absolutely love this kit it's gorgeous I will definitely be getting a couple.
My question is- Is this kit designed to be used all in one album say for the first 12 months? Or is it designed to be spread out over various albums/years?
Thanks so much for your great work, I have bought 4 of both your original school kit and expension kits, I just love your stuff.
I'm so excited! I've been using the school kit for my baby album! Now I can use that on my stepson's album, and use the baby kit for baby! Yippee!!!
Hi! Becky
I am so excited about your new kit. It sounds so fabulous and takes the worry out from planning the page yourself. I am new to scrapbooking and also a new mom so I think this kind of kit just wonderful for me. Also, can't wait what surprises you have for us. Let me guess, are you giving away this fabulous kit. I would just love to win one those. Have a great weekend. Syeda
Becky- Is it possible to share what kind of page protector best matches the one that comes in the kit? Or, is there any way to order extra ones when ordering a kit?
Thanks!!
Lori
Becky,
I am so excited about this kit. I was hoping that you would do a baby kit. It will be wonderful for my three children. As i have not had a chance to get there baby books complete yet.
Brandy
I am so excited that you have created this kit! I am going to be an aunt twice in early 2009, so this couldn't be a more perfect kit for me! I have always been impressed with your kits, so I know I won't be disappointed!
This looks great. But I too think this particular photo shows A LOT of pink and am expecting a boy and wonder if it would be a bit too "pretty" for him?
what an adorable kit! can't wait to learn more about it!
I can't wait to see more of this kit!
Love your stuff! Just trying to plan ahead for Christmas this year and I was wondering if you were going to offer another card kit? I just loved it last year and received so many compliments on it!
Once again, cool kit. I think you should market and sell the folders that fit into the D-ring albums by themselves, this has big appeal for me, and would be willing to buy just these keepsake envelopes. Just an idea, but since you're always on top of things you probably already know that. ;) I don't know how you seem to do it all. Take Care.
Looks like another great kit. For some reason, baby pages are hard for me to do. My daughter is 5 and I've only done a couple.
Have you decided what color album your next baby will have?!?
Take Care and thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
Looks great,Becky! Can wait to purchase!
It is 11:45 AM EST and it is on Lisa's website today.....
Becky - Kit looks great. Could you clarify whether you have the chance to win a golden ticket with this kit?
I just pre-ordered the kit from the Kit of the Month site. Becky has some example pages (girl) and there are some boy pages from another designer. Once I saw it could really go either way I was willing to buy it. Take a look! -a
Hi Becky - the kit looks wonderful . . . . and as I am also approaching Mom of #3 anyday now - I think it is a must have.
Can't wait to see in person - I keep checking back for more ordering details . . .
I think you & I have been pregnant every time together - atleast it feels that way
Will this kit work with a strap hinge album
Thank you for your inspiration
Hi Becky,
I absolutely LOVE this new Baby kit...it looks AWESOME!!! Do you know how long we will be able to pre-order this kit...I cannot pre-order it until early next week so I hope we can still pre-order by then!!!
Sandra Touchet
Becky, this kit is adorable!! I only wish I had babies so I could play with it. My kids are teens and while I have only completed some of their baby album, I am super sad to admit I didn't keep a journal or anything to record their info as it happened, like when they lost their first tooth, said first word etc.
Anyway, thanks for bringing us such wonderful kits!
Oh, I second the person above - is it possible to order plain 12x12 memorbilia folders?
Really a Beautiful KIT...! I have a little niece and nephew. Sounds like it would make a great christmas gift...!
Thanks, JANE
Corona, CA
Can't wait to learn more!!
Hello Becky!
I just found your blog through a friends blog and I was browsing and found this post. I absolutely love this kit. Can you give me pricing info? I have a 2 1/2 year old boy and I just had another boy at the beginning of this month. I would love to do this for my kids.
Here is my email or you can go to my blog
