Displaying Facebook wishes on a Scrapbook

I just have one more page to share from the Baby Scrapbook I made for my friend Ashwina's little girl. Back in the day we would get congratulatory letters and cards when a new baby was born. But today most of the wishes come on Facebook and I wanted to give Ash a way of preserving all the 160 odd wishes she received when she announced Anya's birth on Facebook. So here is the page:


I captured screenshots of the actual FB post (there were 2 of them) and then I printed out all the comments that came in for them. Each comment has the date and time exactly as it appears on FB. In the picture below you can see that that the comment section is actually a little paper pad with about 10 to 12 little pages to accommodate all the comments that she received.


This may not be the most crafty page in the book but it certainly is the most special. When Ash saw it, her eyes filled up and nothing was more gratifying than that. So glad she liked it.


To see the all the other pages of this book

I've also added some pages to the ItsyBitsy blog which you can view below:

Hope you like it.

    1. It would indeed... wouldn't it Hussena. I wasn't on FB when my son was born but for my daughter I did the same thing. I preserved all the FB screenshots and now looking back just 18 months later, it's wonderful.
