In today’s fast-paced world, shortcuts are always nice. And, when they result in beautifully complete scrapbook albums, that’s even better!

Available in themes that showcase events like Graduation, Baby, Birthday, Travel, Wedding and more.

Simply cover up some of the design elements on the page with your own embellishments, paper or photos and presto – they’re totally customized. Easy peezy! Here are the same pages with just a few components added:
Designer Melissa Ullmann put a totally fun twist on these travel pages, turning them into college scrapbook page layouts. She trimmed a 2-week section from a calendar page from the Year to Remember Paper Pack and added it to the bottom of the airplane page. She also covered up the globe design on the left page with a circle shape cut using the Custom Cutting System with Circle Patterns. It’s a great way to make a page layout title that packs a punch and fits your theme perfectly!
