They are available in all colors, dark, light, pastel and fluro as well as ring and post-bound varieties.
You can get some with light or general decorations like pin stripes, light swirls or vines, just to break up the solidness a bit. Its also a great platform to start adding your own decorations too!
Themed scrapbooks
There is a huge variety of themes available for scrapbooks. If you can imagine it, possibilities are that there is an album that has got a pre-designed theme available for it, though you will have to hunt around for it a bit.
The most common themes that pop up are marriage, kids, disney, sports, baby and high school scrapbook themes.
