What Are Some Good Themes for Valentines Day & Love Scrapbook Pages?
If you are stuck on where to start, think in terms of simple themes and color stories. Here are some easy love scrapbook themes you can build a whole page around:
- Sweethearts page
Focus on you and your person or you and your bestie. Use heart patterned paper, sweetheart candy colors, and a big title like “My Sweetheart” or “Forever Favorite.” - Classic red and pink
Go all in on red and pink with heart stickers, patterned paper, and bold titles. This is perfect for Valentine’s Day photos, date nights, or Galentine’s parties. - Neutral and romantic
Use soft creams, tan, and warm gray with tiny hearts, linen textures, and calm greenery. Think stone figurines, candles, and cozy home moments instead of bright Valentine colors. - Black and white with a pop of red
Start with black and white photos or papers, then add one strong red element like hearts, labels, or title letters. The contrast makes the page feel chic and modern. - Vintage love story
Mix sepia toned photos, lace, doilies, postage stamps, and old book pages. Great for older family photos, wedding pictures, or telling a long term love story. - Modern and graphic
Use clean lines, lots of white space, and simple shapes. Try bold fonts, label stickers, speech bubbles, and journaling strips that feel more graphic and less frilly. - Simple and minimal
One or two photos, a small cluster of embellishments, and a short love note or quote. This is perfect when you want the photo and the words to do most of the talking. - Layered and collage style
Stack tags, tickets, tiny envelopes, washi tape, frames, and hearts so the page feels full and rich. Great for junk journal lovers or anyone who likes a more “collected” look. - Timeline of us
Use small photos or printed screenshots in a row to show a relationship timeline. First date, favorite trip, moving in, big milestone, or even a series of funny text messages. - Love in everyday moments
Build pages around small things like morning coffee together, walking the dog, grocery store dates, or watching shows on the couch. Use icons and tiny phrases that match that everyday vibe.

What is a love scrapbook page or journal?
A love scrapbook page or journal is a simple, meaningful way to pull special moments out of today’s digital age and give them a place to live on paper. Instead of keeping everything as screenshots and texts, you turn your photos, handwritten notes, ticket stubs, and little keepsakes into a collage of love that you can flip through any time.
It can be part of a full scrapbook album, a couple’s scrapbook or anniversary scrapbook for a special day, or just a few pages tucked into a journal you already use.
Most love themed layouts start with a color scheme and a story you want to tell.
You might build a page around your first home, an engagement ring moment, a favorite trip, or the little everyday things that show how much time you have shared together. From there you layer in scrapbook paper, washi tape, acid-free paper for photos, and small decorative items to add extra dimension.
The goal is not a perfect finished product. It is a personal touch that turns your special memories into something you can hold, look back on next year, and keep as a special keepsake for a long time.

If you’re not sure about the difference between scrapbooking and junk journaling, here’s how we categorize them. Scrapbooks are focused around photos, while junk journals don’t necessarily have pictures. That’s kind of it in a nutshell!
Scrapbooks are great for preserving those favorite memories with family members or making something that feels like a keepsake. Junk journals? They’re perfect for experimenting, using scraps from Valentine’s Day cards, and just having fun with different textures and vibes.
We actually have a whole blog post talking about the difference, with examples of each. Check it out here!

FAQs: Love Scrapbook Ideas for Valentine’s Day
A scrapbook is usually built around photos, memories, and keepsakes, often with a more organized, album-style look, like many of the scrapbook layouts in this post. Junk journals are all about freedom and fun! They don’t have to include photos and often use found papers, ticket stubs, and layered textures. If you want to see the difference in action, just scroll through the love scrapbook page ideas right here for inspiration! We also have a post giving examples of the difference. Check it out here!
You can journal about the tiny everyday moments that make your relationship feel special: inside jokes, favorite date nights, songs you both love, your first impressions, or a specific memory tied to the photo on the page. Try writing about why this moment mattered, how you felt at the time, or what you’d tell your future selves looking back. Short lists like “5 reasons I adore you” or “Things I never want to forget about this season” are perfect for filling in blank spots on a love scrapbook spread.
A long distance love scrapbook can be such a sweet way to document your story. Focus on screenshots of texts, favorite photos from video calls, plane tickets, maps, playlists, and little notes you mail to each other. You can dedicate each layout to a trip you took, a holiday you spent apart, or a milestone like an anniversary. Include journaling about how you felt, what you’re looking forward to, and your future plans together so the book feels hopeful instead of sad.
For a romantic or love themed scrapbook page, texture is your best friend. Mix in lace trims, ribbon, fabric scraps, vellum overlays, doilies, embossed paper, and tiny stitched details. You can also use layered frames, chipboard hearts, wax seals, and soft florals to add depth. Combining smooth photo paper with textured cardstock, torn edges, and stacked ephemera gives the page that “touchable” feel that really fits a love story.
