Patterned scrapbook paper designs are what makes most seasoned scrapbookers hearts race, and many of us have a huge stash of different designs which we furtively buy whenever we visit our favorite craft store and which may never by used in a scrapbooking project, but nevertheless enjoyed every time we get them out. Every year there seem to be more providers and a richer selection of designs and textures.

You can buy your patterned scrapbook paper individually, in packs or in big "bumper" books. You can also buy digital downloads which can be printed on your home printer, and you can find many scrapbook paper designs free - find our growing collection here!

Obviously, patterned paper can be used for backgrounds, borders, and embellishments. Plain backgrounds soon become dull and boring; patterned backgrounds add a touch of excitement to your page. The right pattern tailored to your theme and purpose can also increase that professional look.

Colors and patterns can be used to coordinate with your photographs or to add dramatic effects.

Alternatively, find patterned paper in other places. For instance, a birthday scrapbook could have a background made of your favorite gift wrap. You could use newspaper, music paper or scores, school paper, or even wallpaper samples for your backgrounds.
