Scrapbooks for any time of life provide a photographic memory of events. Creating scrapbook pages for your son between ages birth to age 3 helps you chronicle his young life. You may take many photos of him during these years, but be stumped for ideas on how to create scrapbook layouts. Several ideas will help you work through that stack of photos in no time.

Include several traditional scrapbook layouts for your baby boy. Photos from his birth and each of his birthdays, special events and daily activities should round out your scrapbook pages. Add vellum or mulberry papers for a soft, dreamy effect of those tiny photos. Include baby-boy themed papers, stickers, punches and die cuts. Blues and tans work well.

Vintage

Dress up your baby boy in fun outfits and take posed shots of him. Use overalls and add a tractor for a farm theme or Western feel. Roll up his jeans and add a hat with a fishing pole. Or put him with a back drop of musical instruments. Develop some of these photos using a sepia tone for an aged feel. Use vintage scrapbook papers, buttons and blue ribbon. If you keep your colors to ivory, tan, blues and greens, your page won't look too girly. The end result will be different from many baby boy pages.

Family

Family photos with mom, dad, siblings and extended family members provide other photo opportunities and scrapbook pages. You don't need to keep these pages baby or boy-themed. Use appropriate fall papers during the season and Christmas papers during December. Remember to include heart-themed products for all the love your little one receives from his family.

Non-Traditional

Include non-traditional items on your scrapbook pages. Add twine or buttons for a masculine feel. Fibers in a variety of textures and colors can add dimension to your pages. Use a little boy stamp on a tag for a unique touch and emboss the image for extra depth and interest. Inks and paints also provide color and depth.
