Acid and lignen free, this 12 x 12 paper is sold in packs of 25 sheets. You can use some of your leftovers to create a one-of-a-kind Father's Day card.

Step father scrapbook paper, also from Masterpiece Studios provides a way to honor this special relationship. The lower right hand corner of the page displays the words "Step Father" in bold font, while short yet meaningful phrases in varying fonts fill a robin's egg blue background.

Sayings include:

• Great Man

This paper is also sold in 12 x 12 inch packs of 25, but you can probably trade out your extra sheets at any cropping event.

Simple backgrounds offer the opportunity to really embellish your page without making the layout seem overly cluttered.
