Themes, layouts and inspirations
There has been lots of chatter in the scrapping world about creating Scrapbook pages based around Coronavirus or Covid19.

These stickers are some of the first commercial ones available and they are rather cute. Use them on cards or scrap layouts to document this crazy crazy time. You can see them here.
