25 Serene Blue Scrapbook Ideas & Junk Journal Pages
If you’re looking for the ultimate blue inspiration, this post is for you!
Look, we know some people think scrapbooking is nerdy. And to that we say: ok fine, it kinda is — but in the absolute best, most beautifully color-coordinated way possible.
Because if you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been emotionally moved by a perfect piece of blue scrapbook paper, and honestly? Same.
Whether it’s dreamy baby blue, moody navy, or that electric blue cardstock that practically slaps you in the face with energy, there’s a shade of blue for every vibe.
Sad? Blue.
Chill beach day? Also blue.
Just found the washi tape of your dreams at Hobby Lobby? Yep, that’s a scrapbook page waiting to happen.

You might think blue is understated, but in these layouts – we are not always here for subtlety.
One minute you’re carefully aligning a focal point photo, and the next you’re knee-deep in page kits, free shipping tabs open, whispering “just one more pack” like a paper-crazed gremlin. We all know that buying scrapbook supplies is a hobby too!
You start with layering decorative paper with puffy stickers, punching out shapes like it’s therapy, and slapping down foam squares like we’re on a mission.
Then your friendship albums look like a full-on art installation. Use those inch squares, layer that card stock, channel your inner Anna Aspnes or Amy Kingsford, and let your scrapbook layouts scream, “Yes I’m a paper nerd and I’m thriving.” Next time someone calls it a “cute hobby,” just smile sweetly, grab some of your new products, and glue another photo insert down with righteous confidence.
Some of the featured pages are blue upon blue upon blue, while others have some blue mixed with bright orange accents, because why not?
And if someone doesn’t get your love for a blue background with patterned paper shaped like raindrops? That’s a them problem.
FAQs: Blue Scrapbook Ideas
We get asked this A LOT. Like, what is the point of it? First of all, its a hobby! Its fun! Creative! Relaxing! But if we want to get more technical, the main point of scrapbooking (and junk journaling!) is to capture memories and express yourself creatively. For some, it’s all about preserving special moments and family stories; for others, it’s more like art therapy. A way to relax and play with paper, photos, and a little glue. Or as we say, we stick paper on paper. At Slowestuff, we say: do what feels fun! Yeesh!
Great question, and we get this one a lot too! It’s kind of subjective, but to us, Scrapbooking usually means layouts built around photos and memories, like a fancy, decorated photo album. Junk journaling? That’s pure “do what you want” energy. Think random scraps, tickets, receipts, art, no rules, no photos required. If you love structure, go scrapbook. If you love chaos (the good kind!), try junk journaling. We started off scrapbooking, then went into junk journaling, and now kind of morphed the two. If you want to see some examples of each, along side our discussion of it, check out our post here.
Yesss. I think dark blue, like a deep navy blue, is underrated as a good neutral or base. Blue is actually one of the most versatile colors for scrapbooking or junk journaling, because it works as both a neutral and can also be a feature color. Light blues (like sky or baby blue) can make photos look brighter, while navy or deep blue helps busy or colorful photos stand out without clashing. Generally speaking, if I have photos with a lot of color, the name of the game in the paper or ephemera that I put with them is that they are all similarly hued. That consistency features the photos, rather than competes with them. Blue is great for that!
Of course, blue as the night sky HAS to have stars. Silver metallics look amazing, but you know what? So does gold – and don’t shy away from mixing those two metals with a color like blue. Blue can handle it! Blue and white is dreamy and gives a sky vibe, while mixing it with darker neutrals like tan or grey make it earthy and cozy.

You will see tons of combos that just work.

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!
