Scrapbooking is one of the most rewarding ways to capture life’s little moments—and September is the perfect month to get started. The new season brings cozy routines, fresh beginnings, and plenty of photo-worthy memories. If you’ve been wanting to try scrapbooking but don’t know where to begin, this guide will walk you through your first three scrapbook pages.
Grab your photos, a cup of something warm, and let’s dive in!
Why Start Scrapbooking in September?
New routines: Back-to-school, sports, and fall activities make for fun page themes.
Seasonal beauty: Crisp air, colorful leaves, and cozy family traditions offer gorgeous inspiration.
Fresh start: The shift into autumn feels like the start of a new creative season.
Your First 3 Scrapbook Pages
1. Back-to-School Memories
Document the start of the school year with photos of first-day outfits, backpacks, or your child’s “What I want to be when I grow up” moment. Add journaling about their excitement (or nerves!) to make the page extra personal.
Tip: Use playful fonts, lined notebook paper designs, or stickers shaped like pencils and apples to capture the school-day vibe.
2. Cozy Fall Favorites
Create a page dedicated to everything that makes September special—pumpkin spice, football games, cozy sweaters, or walks among the changing leaves. This is a great spot for candid family photos or even snapshots of your favorite fall décor.
Tip: Layer warm-toned scrapbook papers (or digital Canva backgrounds) like plaids, wood textures, and autumn leaves.
3. Gratitude Page
End your first set of pages with something reflective. Write down a list of blessings from the month or add journaling prompts like “One thing I’m thankful for this week…” Pair your words with calming, simple layouts that focus on reflection.
Tip: Keep this page flexible—you can update it weekly or seasonally, and it becomes a beautiful keepsake of gratitude.
