Scrapbook Paper

What can we say about scrapbook paper? The sky's the limit! You can find it in every color imaginable and patterns galore. It comes in various weights and textures and patterns... oh, my! You can even print it yourself. You can find themes from the military to cute and whimsical Disney, from vintage to grunge. And as if that wasn't enough, you can make it with your computer, or be really creative and make your own design with rubber stamps or other medium.

The focus should be on the pictures and the journaling, but it is easy to get caught up in all the beautiful patterns of paper that are available. Be careful that it doesn't overpower and take the focus away from what's really important, your pictures and the story behind them.
