For many of us, our favorite crafty time of year is winter. What could be better than snuggling up with a blanket, a cup of cocoa, and reams of patterned paper? Well, while summertime means more time outdoors playing with the family and perhaps a little less time curling up with our paper-crafting supplies, we’d like to entice you to take your scrapbooking to the picnic table with you. And we have just the ticket to get your creativity going: new products! So take a little time away from the sun to check out these fab finds. They’re sure to be the stars of your summertime scrapbooking.

The Pack Your Bags collection from Little Yellow Bicycle is filled with summery blues and greens, as well as trendy retro patterns including maps. But without a doubt, your new must-have is going to be the new Tear-Out Ticket Book from this collection. From thermographic printed boarding passes to postcards and ticket stubs, these accents and journaling blocks will make a fabulous “world traveler” statement on your vacation pages—no matter where you travel.

Presto Patterns by Stampin’ Up!
Behold, my friends—nothing but a simple piece of white cardstock. Now, with just a spritz of trusty spray ink . . . ta da! A gorgeous, vintage design, just waiting to accent your memories. Stampin’ Up!‘s Presto Patterns Specialty Designer Series papers are a unique—and totally fun—way to add the shimmer of spray mist and the beauty of intricate designs to your scrapbook pages with very little effort. Each sheet is thermographically printed with a tone-on-tone white design, perfect for mimicking an emboss-resist look. Remember to dab away the excess ink from your design to prevent blotchy drying, and be sure to dab, not wipe, or else your ink will smear.

From glitter to flock to foil to embossing, not only will you find summery colors you’ll love for your pages, but you’ll also find loads of texture. Your running-through-the-sprinklers layouts will look divine!
