It's very close to Valentine's Day 2011, and I apolgize for not posting this sooner. Of course, you can always make a scrapbook for your valentine any time of the year! Here are some valentine's day themed scrapbooking papers.

First is a  collection pack from BoBunny Press with eighteen 12" x 12" sheets of double sided designer paper including journaling card paper, and one sheet of coordinating cardstock stickers. A scrapbook paper pack is a great way to get a scrapbook finished fast.

 

Another new set of designer scrapbook papers for Valentines albums is from K and Company: Valentine Paper Pad with 36 double-sided papers.

Echo Park has their Be Mine Collection pack with twelve 12 x 12 double-sided papers, one sheet of alphabet stickers and a sheet of elements stickers:

A new BasicGrey album with an interesting red cover would work well for your scrapbook: BasicGrey - Basics Collection - 12 x 12 Album - Red

Since I am so late with this post, I'll stop here and let you go look at some nice scrapbooking papers and albums for your Valentine's Day scrapbooks. You can find more scrapbooking supplies at My Art and Craft Supplies and albums at All Scrapbook Albums.

Happy scrappin!

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.

Dad's Day Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking for Father's Day

It's just about time to make a scrapbook for your Dad. I like some of the latest stickers I've seen with a Dad's Day theme. These might make a good embellishment for your scrapbooks:

EK Success - Jolee's Boutique - 3 Dimensional Stickers - Dad

Nice! I love the tools theme on these stickers.

EK Success - Jolee's Boutique - 3 Dimensional Stickers - Dad With Title

This covers so much: golfing, fishing, grilling (it's cute, too).

Have you noticed the chipboard album trend? The selection of chipboard albums is better and better. This one says "Father" (it measures 10" x 4") and can be decoratedor painted, and journaling or photos can be added, too.

Carolee's Creations Adornit - Chipboard Album - Father - with Crosshatch Textured Acrylic Skin

More for Dad's and Grads is in a previous post.

Celebrate Grads and Dads

May and June: Graduation and Father's Day Scrapbooking

It's almost that time for graduation ceremonies! This is an occasion that is so worthy of celebrating with a scrapbook. Funny how this happens every year and yet, there are so few scrapbooking products designed for grads. I keep looking for graduation scrapbooks and paper with a graduate theme. I found some brand new paper, stickers and albums. Fortunately, no one got cute with the product names and made a paper design called Mrs. Robinson! (Sorry, but I can't help thinking about that movie when I see the words "The Graduate.") Here is what is currently available for 2009 graduation scrapbooking:

Make any paper into a graduation theme with these Reminisce
clear stickers:

Some of my favorite graduation designs on scrapbook paper
is this Reminisce
- Graduation Collection - 12 x 12 Flocked Paper - Graduation Day. This design looks almost like an M.C. Escher print!:

Here's a pretty, more subtle design in silver foil:
Reminisce - Graduation Collection - 12 x 12 Foil Paper - Graduation Silver Swirl

Another scrapbook brand with some graduation scrapbook paper
is Creative Imaginations with their:

Grads Rule Collection
- 12 x 12 Varnish Paper - Diploma

Look at this new Karen Foster paper with a graduation theme:

Karen Foster Design - Graduation Collection - 12 x 12 Paper - Commencement
Collage

I realize these designs are supposed to look formal (which is why they used such dark shades) but I like a bit more color. Here are a couple that are brighter in tone. First is by Creative Imaginations:

This graduation paper has softer hues:

Karen Foster Design - Graduation Collection - 12
x 12 Paper - Diploma Day

That is a start for finding paper for grads, now lets look at some for dads! It can be difficult deciding on a Father's day present. A scrapbook could be a great solution - who wouldn't want a scrapbook all about them!?

Give dad a tie for Father's Day in a scrapbook with this
Karen Foster Design paper: Ties Scrapbook Paper

Or make sure your Dad knows he's the number 1 father: Karen
Foster Design - #1 Father

Fancy Pants Designs has a series of double-sided Father's
Day papers with their Papa - Dad - Father - Collection:

Father's Day - Hero

Fancy Pants Designs: Father's Day - Leader

This is a good start of where to find graduation and Father's Day scrapbook papers. I hope to show some stickers and rub-ons in another post. Go on, celebrate with a scrapbook!

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!
