10 scrapbook layout ideas

  1. Summer keepsakes: instant prints, a pressed daisy, barcodes and fruit on a torn-paper background.
  2. Magazine spread: generous white space, one big photo and small captions, like an editorial page.
  3. Torn-paper city: three street photos joined by ripped edges into one tall page.
  4. Labeled outfit: a cutout look on lined paper with handwritten notes for each piece.
  5. Gallery wall: small photos scattered across a white page with one-word labels.
  6. Palette page: a photo next to swatches of its colors, with the hex codes.
  7. Notebook detail: a close-up above a spiral-bound page with a single word.
  8. Film strip day: a run of small photos in sequence, like a contact sheet.
  9. Mosaic that opens up: tiny photo tiles that get bigger as people swipe through the slides.
  10. Season moodboard: textures, leaves, objects and colors for one season.

Small touches that sell the paper look

  • Use one handwritten-style font for labels and a clean font for titles.
  • Rotate a few elements by a couple of degrees; nothing in a real scrapbook is perfectly straight.
  • Leave margins. Crowding every corner looks digital, not handmade.
  • Repeat a color from the photos in a sticker or label to tie the page together.
