Scrapbook Pages: Goodies for Summertime Fun!

With children out for the summer, holiday celebrations and family vacations to be planned; there will be tons of great pictures you will want to place in your scrapbook album. The good news for you is that some of the best scrapbook companies offer some of the most beautiful scrapbook collections that pertain to summer fun at the beach, visiting the zoo and of course 4th of July. Here are current scrapbook page collections from the biggest scrapbooking companies so you can make your favorite summertime memories look their best.

Vacation Collections:
Vroom 12X12 Wander Collection Paper (Basic Grey) 
Basic Grey: Wander Collection – If you’re familiar with the Basic Grey company and collections, then you know their backgrounds tend to be a little more eclectic than the collections featured by other companies. The wander collection covers several big travel destinations and also features traditional travel pages with roads, maps and road signs you may see on your trip.

K&Company Around The World Flat Paper 12"X12" Sea Cruise; 25 Items/Order
K and Company: Brenda Walton Designs Around the World – Extremely adorable collection and a must have for anyone that will be putting together a scrapbook of summer vacations. The great thing about this collection, as with anything K and Company puts out, is the fact that they have journal tags, post cards, die cuts and other embellishments available that correspond with this collection.

Beach Collections:
Beach Bag 12X12 Barefoot & Bliss Collection Paper (Bo Bunny) 
Bo Bunny: Barefoot and Bliss – If you are looking for a page perfect for a boy, girl or family scrapbook layout this is a great choice for a beach page. Bo Bunny incorporates Hawaiian flowers, waves and of course the colors blue, yellow and orange. This is by far my favorite collection for a beach theme because I can use this collection to showcase pictures for any gender and the fun summer colors on each page are perfect for at the beach pictures.

Zoo and Animal Collections:
Actopus To Zelephant Double-Sided Specialty Paper Pad 12x12"-28 Sheets 
K and Company: Actopus to Zelephant – This is the most adorable zoo or animal collection I have ever seen in my entire life and can easily be used for more than just zoo pages. This collection has a child like theme to it, but will be a favorite among both young and old scrapbookers or any gender. The scrapbook pages are too cute to pass up and the clear acrylic letter stamps that were made for this collection are very unique. Each letter is illustrated in some way to represent an animal. For example, the letter “S” is bent to look like a seahorse and “B” looks like a bear. Here are the stamps Actopus To Zelephant Stamps-Alphabet
Stripe 12X12 Zoology Collection Paper (Bo Bunny)
Bo Bunny: Zoology – This collection is for more mature pictures and comes in every single animal print you can possibly think of: tiger, zebra, giraffe and I think they have a tortoise shell printed paper. This collection is a little dark for Bo Bunny and isn’t one of my favorites, but can be used for the scrapbooking individuals that aren’t big on the cutesy scrapbook collections done by other companies.

Independence Day Collections:

K and Company: Americana and All – This collection will make your favorite 4th of July celebrations and pictures more beautiful than they were before. The nostalgic feel to these scrapbook pages and the beautiful red, white and blue hues will have you wishing that everyday was 4th of July.
Liberty Collection Collection Pack (Bo Bunny)
Bo Bunny: Liberty – A little brighter than the collection released by K and Company, but I can’t say which is better because they both offer things I like and dislike. Check out this collection as another option to use for your July holiday photos and scrapbook albums.
