It’s the month for love and friendship. As we celebrate matters of the heart this February, here are some scrapbooking prompts to get our creative juices flowing. You can use these prompts to take photos, write journaling notes, or create entire scrapbook layouts.

– messages spelled out using conversation hearts
– scented candles (for example, rose, cinnamon, chocolate, candy)
– a stack of your favorite romance novels
– sugar cookies with pink frosting and heart sprinkles
– a bunch of red roses
– a rose in a bush
– an afternoon spent making valentines with your kids
– the bag of valentines your child receives from his classmates
– a box of gourmet chocolates
– your favorite romantic movie
– plans you’re making for your garden this year
– holding hands with your loved one
– your favorite love poem (think Shakespeare)
– a bottle of your “date” perfume
– your oldest/best friend

I hope these prompts will help you think of ways to be more creative in your scrapbooking, and consider how you can go deeper in your relationships, as well as document those ordinary things that make this month special.

Scrapbooking can be an adventure in itself, did you know?

I came across this lovely video by Shimelle Laine. Before you watch this video, better sit down and make yourself comfortable. This is a double treat, for your eyes and ears. Smimelle shares tips for making every day a scrapbooking adventure, while also letting us peek as she creates. Enjoy!
