Happy Halloween Scrapbooking 2010

It's Halloween 2010 and time for one of the most fun holidays for finding scrapbooking themes.  Get your spooky scrapbook designs ready for all the fun photos and keepsakes from this most entertaining holiday. 

Bo Bunny Press has a couple of colorful papers in their Spooktastic Collection: Spooktastic Batty and Spooktastic Haunted.

Graphic 45 has the most fun paper - a take off of Alice in Wonderland with a Halloween twist with their Halloween in Wonderland Collection: Which has several designs including a fanciful playing card theme with dragons, the famous rabbit, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, the Queen, the Cheshire Cat and all of the favorite Alice in Wonderland characters.

I also want to recommend a new scrapbook album from BasicGrey - Basics Collection with a swirly design on the cover that will add some flair to suit a Halloween theme:

So, take some great photos of your family and friends this Halloween 2010 and make a scrapbook to share your memories!

Mother's Day Scrapbooking 2009

Mother's Day is around the corner. There is still time for you to make your mom a scrapbook. Here are some pretty scrapbook papers that I thought you might like. The pretty, feminine papers - especially those with floral designs - would appeal to my mom. So, that is what I picked to show in this blog post!

First are some BasicGrey collection packs with pretty floral patterns and coordinated dots, stripes and othe designs in what I consider good Mother's Day colors. I've shown 12 x 12 paper packs, but you can find the 6x6 packs here: BasicGrey Paper Packs & Pads

BasicGrey - Sultry Collection - Collection Pack

BasicGrey - 12 x 12 Sugared Collection Pack - This has some warm hues and a vintage quality that is nice.

BasicGrey - Porcelain Collection - This collection pack is a softly toned set of patterened papers.

I had to add these single sheets of paper examples from Anna Griffin - they look like wallpaper or fabric for elegant sofas!

Anna Griffin - Flora Collection - 12 x 12 Paper - Tree Of Life

Anna Griffin - Flora Collection - 12 x 12 Paper - Flora Botanical Plum

Carolee's Creations Adornit - Mother Collection - Scrapbook Paper - Life's Blessings says it all, so many nice words we all should tell our Mothers

The florists tell us to "say it with flowers." I say, do the same with your srapbooks for Mother's day. It's really not about the paper you use, though - it's about the time and care you put into making something nice as a present to honor your mom!

St. Patrick's Day Scrapbooking

It's almost time for St. Patrick's Day scrapbooking. It must be the luck of the Irish, because I found a freebie at http://www.digitalscrapbookingnow.com/ that I had to share (the website said it was ok with them!) Well, I'm only a teeny weeny bit Irish - just enough to be lucky, I guess.

This is the Lucky Ireland digital scrapbooking kit.
See the nice pages below.

Valentine's Day Digital Scrapbooking

I just wanted to make a note about some digital kits for Valentine's Day. I know some of you are still working on those valentine memories. For digital scrapbookers I found some resources that might help. These are discussed at Digital Scrapbooking Now.

Go check it out! That website also has some digital images for scrapbooking - vintage pictures for scrapbookers to download and use. This cherub would work for a Valentine theme.

So, carry on with your scrapbooks - I just wanted to make sure you could find more resources for your digital creations!

Valentine's Scrapbook Paper - New Papers from We R Memory Keepers

In my last post I showed some BasicGrey paper that was just released (read it here). Before I forget to mention a cost saving product, let me remind you about bulk paper packs. There is a nice set of 60 papers (12 x 12) from American Crafts with all the colors for Valentine's Day.

These are also brand new designs but from another manufacturer (We R Memory Keepers) and they are called the Heart Attack Collection.

More Valentine's Day Scrapbook Paper

This blog post will be about the new scrapbook papers from We R Memory Keepers which are here just in time for anyone planning a Valentine's scrapbook.

These are all 12 x 12 double sided papers - shown below are all from the Heart Attack Collection: Adore, Be Mine, Crush, Darling, Flirt, Flutter, and Sweetheart.

I think I like Flirt the best, or maybe Sweetheart? They are all good! There are more of these Heart Attack Collection papers, but I just chose a few to let you see them right away!

I have an older post on this same subject: The Valentine Papers. Some of the products discussed on that one are still available. For 2009, I'm keeping my eye out of more Valentine's papers and will post about those when I find them!

Valentine's Day Scrapbooking - BasicGrey Bittersweet

It's almost here again - Valentine's Day, which is one of my favorite themes for scrapbooking. I'm going to post several times about this to cover some of the latest scrapbook papers and albums for this romantic holiday.


I just saw the BasicGrey Bittersweet line of scrapbook papers and they are so pretty. The colors and designs of these papers go with their name "bittersweet" which represents all those yummy things like candy, chocolate, truffles, hearts and even maraschino cherries. I love the flourishes in these rub ons:

If you like to buy paper in bulk packs, the BasicGrey Bittersweet Collection comes in a 6 x 6 paper pad or a 12 x 12 bulk paper pack:

Or you can select individual 12 x 12 papers from this cool bittersweet collection: Ganache, Praline, Hand Dipped, Meltaway, Lipstick Red, Mousse, Truffle, Vanilla Fudge are just a few of these beautiful papers for a romantic scrapbook for your valentine.

And for stickers, there are a set that is coordinated with the whole BasicGrey Bittersweet line - Elements Stickers:

So, hopefully this will give you some ideas for what to do for a Valentine's Day scrapbook!
