Watchful CrackBerry member @NorthsideB noticed tonight that Scrapbook for the BlackBerry PlayBook has another new pack available for download. I've been waiting for this one, because it's the Valentine's Day pack! I think handmade Valentine's Day cards are the best, and what better way to make them than on your PlayBook? Combine your own pictures with wallpapers, accents, and stickers, save it, and post to Facebook from within the app. You can send your saved image to Twitter or email it as well. The new Valentine's pack is small but goes really well with the Shabby Chic pack that was released a couple of weeks ago. The packs can be found within the Scrapbook app, and are individual downloads, so you don't have to install them all if you don't want to.

Scrapbook is a free app for the PlayBook that was designed by The Astonishing Tribe (TAT). I think it's a fun app to use, and it's so simple even the kids can enjoy making pages to share. There are a few things I would like to see added to the Scrapbook app, like the ability to edit pages once you save them, and I would like to be able to resize stickers. Maybe a future update will bring us these additional options.

This super cute Valentine's Day theme by forum member mustangboy88 was sent in to us recently. Fellow member McNibbler sent it, saying "It is smooth, clean, classy, wallpaper friendly and just plain fun. He has paid a lot of attention to detail and it shows. I think he deserves
some love - especially since it is his first theme and it is Valentine's Day. He created the theme for his daughter. He is giving her a purple Style for her birthday."

Well I couldn't agree more. Mustangboy88 has done a great job with his first BlackBerry theme, and I'm sure his daughter will be proud to rock it on her new Style! This Valentine's Day theme is free, and compatible with BlackBerry Bold 96xx and 97xx on BB6, as well as the Style of course. You can download it in the forums from the links below. Be sure to show mustangboy88 some love if you do download it, and leave some comments in his threads.
