Summer scrapbooking is peak scrapbook or journaling material! You might be making scrapbook pages in the summer, or with a summer theme, or you can be junk journaling to include your concert tickets, activity stubs, travel mementos in a page or journal.
Whatever summer scrapbooking means to you, we have some great summer sayings for scrapbooking that are perfect for your project.
This post is about scrapbooking and junk journaling for a summer theme, including summer sayings for scrapbooking, a video demonstrating a scrapbook page being put together, plus scrapbooking supplies used.
Summer Sayings For Scrapbooking – What is Summer Scrapbooking?
Summer scrapbooking can mean scrapbooking during the bright sunny days of summer or on the warm summer nights. It can mean scrapbooking a page around a summer theme like ice cream, a favorite summer place, the perfect summer song or beach read, or featuring the cool clear water of a scenic lake.
It can be in the form of a travel journal! Scrapbook pages from a trip to a tropical locale like the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, the Cayman Islands or even in the warm United States, and you can have a little taste of summer no matter what time of year you put the layout together.
You can also do summer scrapbooking in the dead of winter! When you are out on all your summer adventures, keep all the concert tickets, attraction stubs, polaroids, and any other memorabilia you got while you were out having the time of your life during the hot fun days of summer vacation. Pull all that out during the dark days of winter, and escape to a little slice of summer as you create a junk journal or scrapbook page featuring those items.
We have lots of summer sayings for scrapbooking listed below!

Summer Sayings For Scrapbooking – Mediterranen Summer
This layout by Ashina the Werewolf was done with the idea of Mediterranean Blue and the types of summer aesthestics she imagined if she were lounging somewhere in the hot sun of the Mediterranean. Far from the dog days of summer, this would be good vibes & summer lovin at its finest.

Regardless of whether you are putting a layout together wearing your flip flops on a sunshiny day in the summer, or a summer themed layout while only dreaming of the lazy days of summer, we know that seeing other people’s (or creature’s) junk journal or scrapbook journal layouts often makes you want to get the same supplies as those being used.
The good news is, we make it easy for you to find! If you are a beginner scrapbooker or a seasoned pro, we have a whole host of scrapbooking stuff to look through. This is the area where we provide quick references for you to find the scrapbook supplies used by the Monsters on their junk journal and scrapbook layouts.
We also love to feature small business, ebay store, or shops when we can, and in this layout we used the summer definition stickers from one of our favorite shops, Emerald Avenue on Etsy. Please go check out their Etsy offer!
For this post, we have featured the items used in the Mediterranean summer layout done by our resident werewolf!
As mentioned, for the “junk” part of this junk journal layout, we used paint chips we got from a local hardware store. We love those things!
For everything else, here are quick reference links for some of the items used in this layout:
- Square blue aesthetic stickers
- Blue butterfly stickers
- Lace die cut paper flowers
- jewels
- Oversized blue tropical flower stickers
This is really the tip of the iceberg, in terms of supplies. Getting scrapbook supplies or journaling supplies is honestly….almost as much fun as doing the actual scrapbooking or journaling. Its addictive, y’all! Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
