Cheerleading Scrapbook Paper

Cheerleading Scrapbook Paper Selections

Cheerleading scrapbook paper isn't always easy to find. Unless you go to a specialty scrapbook store, the selection is often less than exciting. For this particular type of layout, online scrapbook stores may save you time hunting for the perfect background paper.

Scrap Your Trip

ScrapYourTrip.com offers a page full of cheerleading scrapbook supplies, including some very nice 12x12 inch scrapbook paper selections. You'll also find a great selection of stickers and rub-ons to add interest to your layout.

One-sided scrapbook papers include:

• Cheer Words: This cute but busy print is filled with popular cheerleading word and phrases. Shades of pink, lime and lavender stand out nicely against a white background for an overall "peppy" effect.
• Cheerleading Banner: This is a far more subdued background print than the previous selection, but it still pops in shades of hot pink and maroon. The top of the paper holds a large, slightly arched "Cheerleading" banner, and the rest of the area is open and ready for you to work on. This would make an especially nice background for a team photo layout.
• Cheerleading: This print comes in shadowy shades of gray. The bottom border features silhouettes of cheerleaders in various poses layered over the word "Cheerleader". The rest of the page is filled with smaller words and phrases.
• Cheer Phrase: This design coordinates well with the previous cheerleading print.
• Cheer Words: This print features inspirational cheerleading phrases on a hunter green background. You can also choose the same print in purple or maroon.

Double-sided scrapbook paper selections include:

• Defining Cheers: One side features a vertical banner and the definition of a cheerleader. The opposite side features a cheery red star print on a shaded reddish-pink background.
• Talkin' Cheerleading: Each side of this paper is printed in bold, reversed black and white patterns. Words include "Cheerleading", "Clap" and "Team Spirit".

Mouse Memories

MouseMemories.com has a small selection of scrapbook papers, and plenty of embellishments to jazz them up. For example:

• Cheerleading Deluxe II: This glossy scrapbook paper has a neutral background and is bordered in colorful stars.
• Cheerleading Deluxe I: Although the image isn't available on the item's individual link, this design coordinates perfectly with Deluxe II, and features a "Victory" headline underlined in the same stars.
• Cheer Shapes: This design features silhouettes of cheerleaders and words on a hazy, wrinkled background.

This site also offers many of the same cheerleading prints as ScrapYourTrip.com.

Digital Scrapbook Paper

LetteringDelights.com offers a selection of cheerleading downloads for the digital scrapbook enthusiast. For example:

• PP Spirit Squad: This kit is a selection of five coordinating cheerleader page patterns in patriotic shades of red, white and blue.

You can supplement your layout with the following embellishments:

• Spirit Squad Tags: Enjoy a terrific selection of tags that coordinate perfectly with the page backgrounds.
• Spirit Squad Alphabet: Download capital letters, numbers and symbols in red and white. Some letters feature cute cheerleader characters.
• JD Cheer: This set provides a great opportunity for journaling.

Layout Ideas

Cheerleading layouts can be great fun to create. Here are a few ideas to incorporate into your pages:

• Create a human pyramid. Crop out head shots of each team member and arrange them pyramid style. For more dimension, attach them to the page with adhesive foam dots.
• Add pop ups to mimic the look of motion. Add pop ups to jumping images of your cheerleader to make them appear as though they're ready to pop right off the page. Be sure to crop the figure well.
• Use Pom Poms as accents. Create your own miniature pom poms from streamer paper and use glue dots to attach them over the pom poms in the photo.
• Add sparkle. Try outlining banners and photos with glitter glue in coordinating and/or contrasting colors.
