12 Spring Day Scrapbook Layout Ideas
Bike rides are the best on a Spring Day! This pretty page from Conny has lots of flowers and florals, plaid paper, torn and sewn cardstock for texture and fluttering insects. Learn more over at The Cherry on Top blog.
Spring is finally here! The weather is getting warmer, flowers are poking out of the ground and the sun is shinning more, except on those rainy Spring days. So now’s a great time to break out of those winter blues and get some fresh air on a warm Spring day and take some fabulous Springtime photos to scrapbook. I’ve gathered up a bunch of fresh ideas to inspire you to create layouts for some sunny Spring Days.
Below each photo you’ll find a link, click it to learn more about products used, tips and techniques.
Nathalie used a sketch for the design of this beautiful layout. All the flowers, scalloped lacy borders and butterflies just scream “It’s Spring”! Take note of the “flutters” of the butterflies, she stitched them, so clever! Learn more and find the FREE sketch on the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
One of the first things to bloom in the Spring are Cherry Blossoms which Stephanie added to this beautiful design. There’s layers of floral and geometric papers, fussy cut Cherry Blossoms, tags, sentiment strips and nods to fun outdoor activities like a scoter and kite. Take a closer look at the Spellbinders blog.
This beautiful layout uses grey tones with pops of yellow along with black and white photos. Flowers and sweet bunny rabbits add just the right Spring touches and cut striped paper straws add some depth. I spotted this idea on the michelle_crela Instagram page.
This amazing layout from Rebeca has loads of texture, layers and dimension with torn pattern papers, popped up title and frames and a stenciled background with rub-ons too. There’s also lots of flowers, butterflies flying around and paper ephemera like tickets. Learn more at the Simple Stories blog.
This monochromatic layout in blues and teals features a dog running through flowers, now’s a great time to take sweet pet photos outside! Claire used products from 49th and Market like pattern papers, printed acetate flowers, laser die cut flowers, thick frames and rub-ons for her page. Take a closer look at the 49th and Market blog.
Here’s another Cherry Blossom inspired design using products from Pinkfresh Studio. There’s a wide row of letterpress “squares” of flowers in the center, gold title, with several sentiment strips and lots of tiny die cut pink Cherry Blossom flowers and leaves. Find out more on the Living an Inspired Life blog.
This couple and their dog are enjoying a Spring outing on this lovely layout. Each photo is backed with striped paper with flower papers on the edges. There’s a beautiful border across the center made with punches and printed images, there’s also a round title and space for journaling. Find instructions on Creative Memories blog.
Phil used several different Springtime digital die cut tag designs for his sweet layout. He added colors to some with watercolor and used plaid paper in coordinating colors for the background. Learn more on the Paige Taylor Evans blog.
Well, it’s not hard to tell what time of year it is on this page, it’s Spring, Spring, Spring! Misty cut the repeat title die from glittery silver paper, adding brightly colored cardstocks to fill in, adding faux stitching to the letters with a marker. Take a closer look at the Cut Card Stock blog.
Yellow, green and blue are the perfect color combo for a Spring layout like this darling design from Gloria! This idea has lots of pattern and clusters of embellishments like daisies, insects and a cute frog. There’s typed journaling, several sentiments and a tag tied with twine too. Learn more on the Bella Blvd. Studio blog.
And lastly here’s a beautiful layout from Alexis with hard and soft features. The background has a blonde woodgrain design with a colorful section of stripes and coordinating flowers and butterflies next to each color down the center for a wonderful rainbow of color. Find directions on the Sizzix blog.
I hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy some nice Spring weather!

Hi Jessica,
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I loved reading about you and will definitely be back to visit!
I learned to crochet first but it hurts my carpal tunnel and my hand went numb so often that it took me about 2 months to do one baby blanket for my daughter LOL. So my mom, being an old-world knitter showed me how to do that and with the two needles I am able to knit longer than I can crochet before the pain starts. I love doing just about any craft project 🙂
Have a great day!
Hugs, Lisa
