Teal, brown, and cream are soothing to our eyes. The watercolor style of these leaf and stripe backgrounds, hearken back to beaches and the soothing sounds of waves on the beach. These two backgrounds are 12×12 inches 300dpi jpg files.
A pastel teal, pastel brown, and pastel cream color palette evokes a sense of soft sophistication and natural tranquility. The gentle contrast between the cool, airy teal and the warm, muted brown is harmonized by the creamy neutral, creating a balanced and inviting aesthetic. When applied to watercolor backgrounds, these hues blend effortlessly, producing a dreamy, fluid effect that feels organic and serene. Leaf and stripe prints further enhance this soothing ambiance—delicate botanical elements bring a touch of nature’s calm, while soft, flowing stripes add rhythm and structure without overwhelming the design. This combination is perfect for evoking a sense of relaxation and understated elegance in any artistic or decorative setting.
Penguin clipart captures the charming, whimsical nature of these beloved birds, often depicted in playful poses and bold black-and-white contrast.

Dindim is a penguin from Brazil who captured the hearts of many with his remarkable story of loyalty. After being rescued by a fisherman in 2011, Dindim was nursed back to health, but once released, he didn’t just swim off into the ocean. Every year, Dindim returns to the same fisherman, João Pereira de Souza, who saved him. The penguin travels over 5,000 miles from his feeding grounds in Argentina to visit his human friend, spending months with him before heading back to the wild. This beautiful story of friendship and loyalty between a penguin and a human has captured the world’s attention and reminded us of the special bonds animals can form. You can read more about it here.

Echoes of the Dutch Golden Age: Capturing Floral Beauty
These may remind you of the Baroque (17th century) or Dutch Golden Age, when floral still-life floral paintings were rich in color, dramatic in lighting, and highly detailed. Artists of this time captured flowers with a near-photographic realism, often using dark backgrounds to make the blooms appear luminous.
The most famous floral oil painter of that era was Rachel Ruysch (1664–1750). She was a Dutch artist known for her exquisitely detailed and vibrant floral still lifes. Her work showcased rich colors, delicate textures, and masterful compositions that made flowers seem almost alive. Ruysch’s paintings were highly sought after, and she had a long and successful career spanning over 60 years.
This is making me so sentimental for my grandmothers. Both of them appreciated flowers. Both of them smelled like flowers. Both of them would have loved this! These floral backgrounds are rendered in an oil painting art style. I’ve clipped out some of the vintage-feel flowers so you can scatter flower clipart throughout your projects.
Scrapbooking the memories of a beloved grandmother is more than preserving photos—it’s a way to keep her warmth, her laughter, and her love alive for generations to come. Her hands that once baked, sewed, or held you close may no longer be here, but the imprint of her kindness remains in the stories we tell and the memories we cherish. Through carefully chosen pictures, handwritten recipes, favorite sayings, and little details—like a swatch of fabric from her apron or a letter in her own handwriting—we weave a tapestry of her love that future generations can touch, see, and feel.
When we scrapbook a grandmother’s memory, we are not just looking back; we are carrying her forward. A page filled with soft hues, delicate florals, or vintage touches can evoke the warmth of her embrace. Journaling a cherished moment—her humming in the kitchen, the scent of her perfume, or the wisdom she shared—breathes life into the past, ensuring that her legacy is not just remembered but felt. In this way, her story continues, wrapping our hearts in the same love she once so effortlessly gave.
As the chilly Utah fall sets in, my thoughts drift to the brisk springs we have. For a blushing bride, this pastel pretty digital scrapbook kit could be just perfect. The pink and gray elements in the kit bring a soft, elegant touch to your projects, evoking wistful smiles from all who see them. Some parts of this beautiful kit were enhanced with a.i. assisted design.
In summer brown landscapes feel dry and sparse but in the dead of winter the brown is warm, rich and welcome. This set includes a stone wall background for masculine projects, a grainy plaid, and four watercolor wash backgrounds. For the scrapbook page sample I used one of the wash backgrounds and erased a hole with blurred edges so I could slide in a darling baby picture. The horizontal brown trim line is simply a crop of one of the tall trees in the forest wash background.

Capturing a sleeping baby beautifully is all about planning, lighting, colors, and timing. Here are four key tips to ensure your photos look as dreamy as the moment itself:
1. Plan the Color Scheme in Advance
Why do some baby photos look stunning while others feel off? A big part of it is color harmony. Choose soft, neutral, or pastel tones for blankets, outfits, and backgrounds. Earthy hues like cream, beige, and soft grays are timeless, while blush, sage, or powder blue add warmth. Avoid busy patterns that can distract from the baby’s delicate features.
2. Dress for Success (Before Sleep!)
If you want a peaceful, picture-perfect look, put the baby in their photo-ready outfit before they fall asleep. Fussing with outfit changes mid-nap can wake them. Opt for soft, snug fabrics without scratchy tags or bulky seams. A simple onesie, a cozy swaddle, or even just bare skin against a textured blanket can create a natural, timeless look.
3. Use Soft, Natural Lighting
Harsh flashes can startle a baby and create unflattering shadows. Instead, position them near a window with diffused natural light. Morning or late afternoon light is best for a warm glow. If shooting at night, use soft, indirect lighting—like a nearby lamp with a warm bulb—to keep things gentle.
4. Time It Right—Capture Deep Sleep Moments
Babies have light and deep sleep cycles. If you want a serene, curl-up pose, wait until they’re in deep sleep (usually about 20 minutes after they doze off). A gently placed hand on their chest can help settle any wiggles. If they’re still a bit restless, white noise can help keep them snoozing through tiny movements.

This is a favorite recipe of mine. Just add your favorite food coloring to the frosting. Sometimes I get crazy and add lemon extract to cookies and frosting for a lemony treat. And for Christmas cookies I change it up by adding 1/4 teaspoon cloves, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg for some awesome, soft, gingerbread men.
For Cookies, Mix Together Until Creamy:
3/4 Cup of Softened Butter
1 Cup of Sugar
3 Eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons of Vanilla
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 teaspoons of Cream of Tartar
Then Mix in:
3 1/2 Cups of Flour
Directions:
Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick and use cookie cutters to shape dough. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 400°F for 6-7 minutes (This is for a 4,226 feet —1,288 meters— above sea level so adjust your baking time according to your elevation)
For Frosting, Mix Together Until Creamy:
1/4 Cup Shortening
1/4 Cup Softened Butter
2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
A Few Drops of Food Coloring
A Shake of Salt
You can add milk a little at a time to achieve the consistency you desire.
Do you remember Victoria magazine? I used to have a subscription in the 90’s. It was full of gorgeous flowers, cottages, travel gems, and antiques. Now it is very expensive and still just as charming. However, it has fallen out of style because it is full of busy, busy, busy images in a world where everyone is inundated with advertising trying to vie for their attention. We’ve fallen into love with white space. I still love the flowers but I’m glad to take them off the busy picture and put them next to some calm white or gray.

What could you use our messy watercolor monster cliparts for?
Using a watercolor style in scrapbooking and art projects has several benefits, especially if you’re aiming for a messy, forgiving aesthetic:
Imperfections Look Intentional – Watercolors naturally have a loose, flowing quality, so smudges, uneven edges, and color bleeds blend into the overall look rather than standing out as “mistakes.”
Less Pressure for Precision – Unlike crisp, graphic styles, watercolor embraces drips, splatters, and faded edges, making it a perfect choice if you want a more relaxed, expressive project.

Memory-Keeping Projects:
Scrapbookers and journalers can use the kit to create digital or printable pages for documenting special moments like a baby’s first year, family picnics, or outdoor adventures. The pastel colors and woodland elements would add a cozy, nature-inspired vibe to the memories.

The kit could be used to design charming stationery sets, including note cards, bookmarks, and stickers. It’s also great for making printable or digital planners, calendars, or even small gift boxes and tags for thoughtful, handmade presents.
