Here’s a double layout (Two 12×12 sized facing pages) I made to document my daughter’s first year. It’s a definite space saver if you don’t want to do a month-by-month layout of your child’s first year. Using this technique, you can view your child’s first year using 2 layouts saving you time, effort and $$$$.

First off, select the best photos of your child for each of his/her first 12 months. Crop (i.e. cut, trim) them to your desired size and mat (white background on photos) to allow photos to stand out.
