Snowflake scrapbook paper is the quintessential winter scrapbooking supply. Whether used for outdoor layouts or to display the myriad of holiday photos, snowflakes never disappoint.
Snowflake Scrapbook Paper
When considering the styles and types of snowflake-designed scrapbooking supplies, the possibilities are virtually endless. Most major designers have an entire line of snow or winter-themed products, so you can choose the kind that best suits your photos or scrapbooking style.
- Designs by Reminisce offers a nice selection of snowflake-patterned, double-sided scrapbook papers, including Whiteout, Falling Snow, and Snow Day.
- Karen Foster Design is another company that has winter-themed paper. The paper offered by this company is more rustic or heritage style, so the green snowflake paper, brads, and embellishments will work great on older or sepia colored photos.
- Basic Grey is a wildly popular scrapbooking company that sells vintage styled papers and supplies. Their Eskimo Kisses line has several papers with snowflakes incorporated in the design. Scrapbookers who prefer to add ephemera to their layouts or like to include lots of embellishments will enjoy Basic Grey's offerings. Instead of just blue and silver snowflakes, the Eskimo Kisses line has pastel pinks and greens which open up the layout possibilities.
- Scrapbook.com is a great place for winter-them scrapbook supplies, include papers like Shimmering Snowflakes and Snow Globes from Carta Bella.
