Freebie | Library Card & Paper Pocket Template

September 13, 2010 by Francine Clouden

Now that pretty much all libraries have converted to digital systems, it’s fun to be able to make our own faux library cards with the traditional pocket. Maybe you want to use this to actually catalogue your reading books, but these library cards and paper pockets are also the perfect things to use for hidden journaling on scrapbook pages. They are great for vintage parties too. I love a little printable history.

The printable library card and paper pocket template are available as a free download from Creature Comforts.

    Thank you for this one. You have no idea how I much I need to do this. I have a large reference library and I have Scouting Leaders constantly borrowing them. I’m making these today.

    Hmmm, that’s very odd! Thanks for the heads-up, I found a work around by linking to her old blog http://creaturecomforts.squarespace.com/home/2008/8/5/its-freebie-time.html I’ve updated the link in the post too.

10 Cat-Themed Scrapbook Layout Templates for Single-Page Designs (Perfect for 2–3 Photos of Your Favourite Feline)

If you share your home with a cat, then you already know the truth: they run the place. Whether they’re supervising your craft desk, refusing to look at the camera, or stretching themselves across your lap the moment you sit down to scrapbook… our feline overlords have a way of becoming the star of every moment.

So of course they need their own dedicated scrapbook pages.

I’ve designed this brand new set of 10 cat-only scrapbook layout templates, each made just for those irresistible whiskered face photos β€” the β€œI do what I want” moments, the biscuit-making paws, the dramatic flops, the window watching, and yes… even the blurry zoomies.

These layouts are all single-page designs, perfect for 2–3 photos, and filled with cute cat-themed doodles like whiskers, fish bones, yarn balls, hearts, paw prints, little tags, and those classic tilted-cat-attitude photo angles. They make scrapbooking your kitty quick, fun, and completely adorable.

Use these sketches for:
β€’ adoption day memories
β€’ β€œfirst day home” layouts
β€’ birthday or Gotcha Day albums
β€’ cosy cuddle photos
β€’ funny sleeping positions (cats are Olympic athletes at this)
β€’ mischief-making moments
β€’ cat + kids interactions
β€’ everyday quiet sweetness

Here’s a peek at what each sketch in this set brings to your creative table:

––––––––––––––––––––––
Layout 1 – Cat Tag & Yarn Swirl Cluster
A playful top-left cluster with tag, paw prints, and a long yarn doodle looping around your photo.

Layout 2 – Double-Photo Grid with Fishbone Banner
Perfect for β€œbefore and after grooming,” sibling cats, or your cat with their favourite human.

Layout 3 – Heart + Paw Combo with Kitty Whiskers Motif
Sweet and simple, ideal for documenting soft, sleepy photos.

Layout 4 – Triple-Photo Strip with Cat Ear Title Box
A fun, graphic layout β€” especially great for high-energy or cheeky photo sets.

Layout 5 – Yarn Ball Corner Cluster + Tilted Photos
A lively page that captures the playful side of your cat’s personality.

Layout 6 – Big Heart Photo Mat with Cat Ear Corners
Soft, sentimental, and perfect for bonding moments or memorial pages.

Layout 7 – Overlapping Squares with Paw Scatter
Adds movement and works beautifully with patterned papers.

Layout 8 – Fishbone Border + Journaling Pocket
Lovely for storytelling, especially rescue or adoption memories.

Layout 9 – Twin Hearts with Whisker Stamped Accents
A feminine option for scrapbooking sweet girl cats.

Layout 10 – Yarn Frame + Triple-Photo Stack
A stash-friendly design that showcases three of your favourite images with a simple but charming frame.

How to Use These Cat-Themed Scrapbook Sketches

  • Add real twine or embroidery thread to mimic yarn accents
    β€’ Use kraft cardstock for a warm, natural β€œcat home” aesthetic
    β€’ Mix black-and-white prints with soft pastels or neutrals
    β€’ Stamp whiskers or tiny paw prints for texture
    β€’ Let your cat’s personality guide the embellishments β€” calm, cheeky, dramatic, or sweet
    β€’ Rotate sketches for even more design possibilities

These cat-themed scrapbook pages make it so easy to get your photos off your phone and into an album where they truly shine. And honestly… our cats deserve it. They give us companionship, chaos, comedy, comfort β€” sometimes all within the same five minutes.

If you use these sketches, tag CraftGossip on Facebook or Instagram. I absolutely love seeing your feline muses show off their best angles.
