Winter
Snow Happy by Julie Bonner for Jillibean Soup, as seen in Scrapbooking Ideas for Every Season, page 24.
Even if you don’t have snow in your neck of the woods this winter, you can draw inspiration from Julie Bonner’s cute layout. For example, bring structure to your winter layout with the clean look of grid patterned paper. You’ll discover seasonal patterns and motifs throughout this issue that will help you select just the right products for your page.
Spring
Learning to Work by Autumn Baldwin, as seen in Scrapbooking Ideas for Every Season, page 42.
We’ve packed this issue with photo ideas for every season! For example, add pizazz to your spring stories by capturing everyday seasonal activities with your camera, just as Autumn Baldwin did. Using a few photos of her kids working in the garden, she created a layout her family will treasure.
Summer
U 2 R Fair Weather Friends by Amy Heller for October Afternoon, as seen in Scrapbooking Ideas for Every Season, page 73.
Color is so important for setting the scene in a story. And in this issue, you’ll find over 30 color combinations to help you tell your stories. For instance, a bold, bright color combination is just the thing for capturing the excitement-filled days of summer, as Amy Heller shows us.
Autumn
Rolling with the Tide by Gretchen McElveen, as seen in Scrapbooking Ideas for Every Season, page 92.
Sports are a big part of our lives, no matter the season. That’s why you’ll find sports layouts throughout Scrapbooking Ideas for Every Season. Gretchen McElveen showed her love of the game with her clever football layout.

I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite season to scrapbook! ALL the seasons have unique memories that need to be scrapbooked! I do like to make individual scrapbooks for each season, so all your memories of say, winter, are together!
I love scrapbooking winter pictures – I love using all the different blues out there and then adding as much sparkle and glitter as I can to the page…
I am a summer fan — my favorote season. I love summer activities.
My favorite reason is because it’s fun
My favorite time to scrapbook is Fall! Football season is my favorite time of year, however, I absolutely love to scrapbook all year round.
winter…the crisp, freshness out snow is so inviting and the excitement in every holiday shot makes the season truly magical.
My fav season to scrap is summer in the pool!!!!!

I love scrapping the spring. I love the colors that I can use.
I would say anytime, but since I have to pick a season it would be Winter by far! I love being all cozy inside with some warm coffee (or hot coco) and scrappin the day away while watching the snow fall looking out the window. The two together are just so calming and relaxing to me. Thank you.
I love Christmas season, the family all together and so happy.
Really inspiring layouts! Thanks.
Falloween is my most favorite season to scrap, I love the fall colors, costumes, etc.
I think I would have to pick fall – I live on the East Coast of Canada, so we get some fantastic leaf displays, and we always have an annual Thanksgiving photoshoot when my girls are home for a visit!
My favorite season to scrap is summer! We are always outside, going to outdoor events or grilling. I can use bright colored paper and embellishments to highlight my favorite moments!

Looks like another great issue.
I love to scrapbook any and all seasons, but my favourite would have to be spring as new colours emerge, the bluer skies, we get awesome sunsets, the clours of nature are remarkable, blues, greens, purples (my fave colour) become more vibrant and I seem to be able to just ‘spring’ into action after the colder months! and who wouldn’t want a free copy of this great magazine (especially since I don’t seem to be able to find it in our stores here where I live?). thanks for the opportunity. Happy scrapping p.s. it’s summer here!
Love fall because of the greens and browns and Thanksgiving!
Fav scrap sesson is late winter, basically January – February, to catch up on holiday photos, and plan for the new year. It does help that the kids are back in school, after holiday break, so I have more time to play with paper!
Love fall with the beautiful colors.
I love summer pages with beautiful outside photos to scrap!
Great layouts. I love scrapbooking summer!

I definitely love summer! Lots of bright fun colors, and lots of water photos!! lol..
I love to scrapbook the crisp colours of FALL!
While it isn’t a season – - Christmas is my very favorite topic to scrapbook. I think because of the colours and textures we can use and usually everyone is smiling. It also encourages me to be mindful and thankful for all that I have. Even though we have said our earthly goodbyes to family and friends, using items that remind me of them, helps to make the holidays extra special.
I love scrapbooking Autumn!! I love all the fall colors.
Winter (Christmas, snow playing).
There’s 5 seasons autumn spring, summer, winter and SCRAP SEASON . Watch out it’s scrap season yell my kids when they see me with my camera.

Fall is my favorite season for everything – especially scrapping!

Fall is definately my fav season to scrap. I love the muted colors and many days the lighting for outside shots is just perfect!
I think Summer is my favorite with winter being a very close second. We have so many family activities in the summer with camping and pool parties. Everyone is smiling and having a great time in all of the pictures. So many themes, with lots of color surround the summer!
