Samantha Harris scrapbooks with How Fast They Grow
Note: We were asked by How Fast They Grow to remove Samantha’s scrapbook page. Though she gave her permission to share it with their newsletter readers, she didn’t give it to us so we need to respect that. If you’d like the see the latest scrapbook page I created, click Continue Reading. We are working on a cool contest with them so I suggest you start gathering your photos to create your own creative pages!
We’ve written in the past about How Fast They Grow, a digital scrapbooking website. Already a hit with "scrapbook dropout" moms who want to createbeautiful baby books for their children but lack the time or patience, it’s also great for moms who like the idea of scrapbooking but don’t have room(or money) for all the acoutrements needed. Samantha Harris is the newest celebrity fan of How Fast They Grow. She recently designed and ordered $100 worth of pages and albums starring her 4-month-old daughter Josselyn Sydney. She’s especially fond of their Boatman Geller templates.
When the company contacted Samantha to ask permission to share one of her pages with their newsletter subscribers, Samantha replied,
Ican’t tell you enough how AWESOME I think ‘How Fast They Grow’ is forscrapbooking for our new baby girl. I have already told all of myco-workers at E!, who said they want to get a book and gift certificatefor their friends/family. Thank you so much.
Creating stylish and modern layouts on HowFastTheyGrow.comis easy and fast, not to mention money-saving (each page is printed on high quality paper andretails for $7.50).

I am a huge fan of Samantha Harris and DWTS, I can see she has amazing taste. I love the pix of her daughter, they are so cute. Thanks for the great website tip!

I guess I am an old fashioned scrapbooker because I like to make my own pages with pictures rather than having them printed. I recommend investing in good 12×12 books with page protectors, great paper, and lots of fun stickers. You would be surprised how much you can liven up a page with well placed stickers. There are great online outlets for tons and tons of stickers

I love doing scrapbooks, and I’m glad that Samantha did one for her little Josselyn. It really does bring great memories of when your baby was little, because they do grow up way fast! I even can’t believe that Josselyn is already four months!

i’m not a mom but i do love scrapbooking. all you really need is a cute book, plain paper, rubber cement, and markers. it doesn’t have to be expensive at all! if you’re looking for cheap ways to brighten up the pages tear up old magazines, maps, and brochures and/or hit the dollar store (dollar tree carries a bunch of scrapbooking stuff now.) it can be time consuming if you attempt to do it all at once, but with a little bit of organization, knocking out one page every night would probably only take 15-20 minutes, then at the end of two or three weeks you have a brand new scrapbook!!!

Adorable! I’d love to see more of her pages and other celeb scrapbooks. The website is amazing, I’ve already created more pages tonight than I’ve done the first 2 years of my sons life. I have no creative confidence, so this is a way I can feel like I am making something beautiful and lasting that other people will actually want to look out. I am a “scrapbooking dropout” just like they talk about on the website…and not ashamed to admit it!
Thx again.

If you want your scrapbooks to last, you should not use regular rubber cement. It’s not archival and can do damage to the photos, make them fall off in time etc. See

or

for more information, or just google “rubber cement archival”, “rubber cement safe” etc.

Samantha’s darling little baby looks so much like my 3 month old grandaughter-lots of dark hair and big blue eyes. I would include a photo if I knew how to!!

I was not happy with the reproduction, kind of blurry and not crisp. They were unresponsive when I contacted them. And their prices are high!
