Getting The Essentials:
In preparation to the big night you want to make sure that get your supplies sorted. Here’s what you’ll want on hand for the ultimate scrapbook evening.
Firstly, encourage your pals to collect and bring personal mementos prior to your scrapbook evening. Things such as photobooth strips, receipts and tickets of memorable events, all of which will complement your scrapbook spread.

The Perfect Scrapbook:
Of course you'll need a scrapbook to add all your memories in to. We'd recommend our, The Journal Club Travel Journal Scrapbook. And if you really want to elevate the pink valentines theme, go for the blush pink colour!
Something to stick with:
A gluestick is always essential, but it can also depend on what style you’re wanting to achieve in your scrapbook. Masking tape offers an authentic scrapbook look, while glue dots can create a neater finish. It’s recommended to have a range of options to pick and choose from, to allow your guests to experiment.
Arguably the most fun part of the process - stickers, pens, stamps and washi tape to name a few, all elevate the page.
If you're scrapbooking for a specific event or holiday you might want to gather stickers, background papers, and tapes that are themed around this. For example, seashell stickers are a great addition for any summer holiday focused spread
Where to Buy: Hobbycraft and Etsy have a great range of craft accessories to inspire your scrapbook spreads.
Scrapbooking is all about preserving those precious memories. Ensure you have plenty of printed photos on hand. You could even print them in different sizes to add variety to your scrapbook pages.
You could even invest in a portable photo printer, such as the Instax Mini Link 3.
Why not set up a photo station? Allow guests to take fun, candid photos during the event and then print them off straight away!
Pro Tip: Online services such as FreePrints are perfect to bulk print your pics before the event without breaking the bank. You can get 45 free prints a month, all you need to do is pay postage. If you’re in a rush, they can even arrive to your door in as quick as 2 working days!
Setting the Scene:
Why not make it fancy? Set up your crafting space with the best vibes to ensure a relaxed atmosphere and encourage the creative flow.
If you need some inspiration, we'd recommend this funky hot pink scalloped edge table cloth and napkin set from Dunelm. It really compliments the pink valentines theme.
Put some emphasis on the 'Sip' in Sip & Scrapbook, with these delicate coupe glasses. This set of 4 comes beautifully packaged, add a square ice cube and your drink of choice and you'll feel incredibly sophisticated and fancy. You could even tie some pink ribbon round the stems for and extra pink touch!
Why not be super extra and throw a bit of heart confetti on top!
