How Do You Start Valentines Day Scrapbooking If You are a Beginner?
If you are brand new to Valentines Day scrapbooking, start small. Pick one or two photos, a simple background paper, and just a few heart or love themed embellishments. Lay everything out on your page before you glue anything down so you can play with the placement and see what feels balanced.
Choose one main color palette first. Classic red and pink always work, but soft neutrals, black and white, or blush and gold are beautiful for Valentine layouts too. Once you have your colors set, add a title, mat your photos on cardstock, and tuck in a little journaling spot so you can tell the story behind the pictures.
If traditional scrapbooking feels overwhelming, try a smaller size album or a junk journal page. A traveler’s notebook, mini album, or altered book gives you less space to fill, which makes it easier to finish your first Valentines Day scrapbooking project. Focus on capturing the memory and the feeling of the moment instead of trying to make the “perfect” page.
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: Valentines Day Scrapbooking
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!
At minimum you will want cardstock, patterned paper, a tape runner or glue, scissors, and a pen for journaling. For more detailed Valentines Day scrapbooking, grab heart punches, alphabet stickers, tags, die cuts, and washi tape. Junk journal fans might add vintage book pages, music paper, lace, doilies, postage stamps, and wax seals for extra texture on Valentine layouts. Look for free things too – envelopes in the mail, paint swatches from the hardware store, magazine images all look amazing on pages!
We honestly love a neutral Valentine’s moment. Traditional red and pink are classic, but neutral, kraft, black and white, or even moody jewel tones look gorgeous for Valentines Day scrapbooking. Try pairing soft blush with craft paper, or deep burgundy with gold for a romantic vibe. As long as your photos and embellishments tell a love story, the color palette still feels very Valentine inspired.
Focus on love that already exists in your life instead of only romantic stories. Make pages about friendships, family members, pets, or your favorite cozy routines. A “self love” spread is perfect for Valentine season and can include photos of you, things that make you happy, plus a list of reasons you are proud of yourself.
You could also scrapbook your current season of life. Document goals, bucket lists, solo adventures, or hobbies you are enjoying right now. Use hearts, pinks, and reds if you like them, or switch to colors that feel more like you. Valentines Day scrapbooking is really about recording meaningful stories, not just couples, so single crafters have plenty of beautiful options.
