Did you know: The U.S. Census Bureau has estimated there were around 2.5 million people living in America when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776? Fast forward 246 years, and the States have erupted like a firework to more than 332 million people! (That’s a lot of backyard BBQs and hotdogs, parades and red-white-and-blue gear!) Well, to pay homage to this major midsummer, birthday bonanza of a day, here are two USA scrapbook ideas that Uncle Sam approves of!
Every year on Father’s Day, we shower the incredible father figures in our lives — fathers and stepfathers, father-in-laws, uncles, grandpas, first-time dads and more. Whether it’s Father’s Day or really, any day, we should always give props to the papa bear(s) in our life. On that note, you should prob-bear-ly make this Father’s Day scrapbook layout — he’ll so appreciate the handsome homage!
On the last Monday of May, many Americans commemorate Memorial Day — an observance that was first established (then called Decoration Day) years after the Civil War, in 1868, as a time to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers. Fast forward to today, and people hold family gatherings, visit cemeteries or memorials and participate in red-white-and-blue parades. We salute to the military personnel who sacrificed their lives for our freedom with this Memorial Day scrapbook layout.

Each year on the 17th of March, the Irish and Irish-at-heart celebrate the patron saint of the Emerald Isle by attending parades, donning the dapperness of green attire, listening to traditional Irish and Celtic music, decorating with lucky shamrocks and heading out to a local pub. Well, today we say “Sláinte,” for we are rolling out the green carpet for this mid-March observance and celebration with this St. Patrick’s Day scrapbook layout!

Chevrons are a design classic, but did you know this V-shaped motif can trace its roots back to ancient Greek pottery carvings? Fast forward a few thousand years, and the zigzag design became prevalent in symbols of heraldry, and later on used on badges or insignia used by military or law enforcement to indicate rank or length of service. Of course, we also see chevrons in modern-day home decor, fabrics and even to indicate traffic flow and direction on road signs. On that latter instance of road and travel, let’s go with the flow and point toward these arrow borders for scrapbooking and a DIY travel scrapbook card featuring the Chevron Arrows Border Maker Cartridge!
