How Do You Make a White Winter Scrapbook Page That You Can Actually See?
Some of our favorite junk journal or scrapbook pages have a white or monochrome theme, but there is a trick to it. A white themed winter scrapbook page works when you build in contrast on purpose.
Start with a warm white base, then layer different whites like cream cardstock, white patterned paper, vellum, and textured pieces so the page has depth even before you add color.
Next, add a thin frame, a strip of darker paper, or a soft gray photo mat so your focal area does not disappear. Black titles, charcoal ink, or a deep navy word strip make everything readable fast.
Finish with texture details like stitching, torn edges, embossed snowflakes, or a lace strip so the layout still looks wintery without turning into a blank page.
How Do You Make a Winter Scrapbook Layout Without Snow?
We lived for years in a place where winter meant cold, but not snow. We just embraced the ideas of a winter scrapbook layout without snow by focusing on “winter life” instead of “winter weather.”
We still had to wear scarves, loved warming our hands around a hot chocolate while we were out and about, and loved our cozy indoor moments with soup nights, movie marathons, baking days, reading, puzzles, and all the little routines that happen when it gets dark early.
Winter can also be about seasonal colors and textures: deep greens, navy, cranberry, silver, kraft, flannel patterns, knit textures, and warm neutrals.
If your climate is mild (lucky!) then scrapbook or journal about what winter looks like for you. Rainy days foggy mornings, quiet beaches, hikes, or holiday lights in palm trees, then use titles like “winter days,” “cozy season,” “cold mornings,” or “hibernation mode” to make it feel clearly winter.
Add simple winter icons that aren’t snow-based, like mugs, candles, sweaters, pine branches, stars, and calendars, and your page will read as winter even if you have never seen a snowflake in real life.

Still not totally sure what separates scrapbooking from 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!

Junk Journal & Scrapbook Supplies Corner
Seeing other people’s layouts always makes you want the exact supplies they used, which is honestly so relatable.
If you want to recreate a similar look, start with a couple basics: pattern paper for a bold background, patterned paper for layering, and a few accents that match your palette.
Once you are done with Christmas scrapbook layout ideas for the season, and the calendar turns to January, it is the time of the year to move on to the frosty layouts. For winter themes, I don’t just use white paper, I also love using soft cool colors with a pastel sky vibe, then adding texture with vellum, kraft, and simple labels that keep the page feeling cozy instead of busy.

FAQs: Winter Scrapbook Pages
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 page ideas right here for inspiration! We also have a post giving examples of the difference. Check it out here!
You can start scrapbooking with just a few basics: cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive (tape runner or glue), scissors or a paper trimmer, and a pen for journaling. After that, the “nice to have” stuff is stickers, die cuts, and a couple label sheets for dates and titles. For winter pages, add a few snowflake or cozy themed embellishments and you are set.
The most common scrapbook page size is 12×12 because it gives you room for photos and layering. Our preference is 8.5×11. If you like quick spreads or hybrid scrapbook and junk journal pages, 6×8 and A5 sizes are also popular because you can finish pages faster and they still look super detailed. One suggestion is to keep it in 3 ring binders because if it is in a regular notebook, they get wayyyyyy to thick!
Pick a simple winter color palette and repeat it across the page, like whites and icy blues with one darker accent for contrast. Use one main patterned paper, then layer solids and smaller patterns so the background does not fight the photos. Repeat one motif, like stars, pine branches, mugs, or mittens, and cluster embellishments in two or three spots instead of spreading them everywhere.
