Have a Hay-day With These Fence and Barn Scrapbook Borders and Farm Scrapbook Card

Posted on March 28, 2023March 28, 2023 by melissaullmann

Barns are defining structures and iconic features that dot rural landscapes and hold much nostalgic, pastoral history — children playing hide-and-seek in dusty hay lofts, hard-working farmhands sitting down at the end of a long day and mapping a plan for the next day’s ventures and even where friends gather for dancing or fiddle-playing. In fact, “a barn is the real headquarters of the farm,” said U.S. Congregational minister Henry Ward Beecher… and this still continues to be true today!

Well, no matter if you still have an old red barn on your century farm, a corn crib or a pole barn with sheets of metal, or had a wedding in a repurposed, yet trending, rustic-meets-country-chic barn venue, the Barn & Fence Border Maker Cartridge will fence in a finishing touch to your layout or projects. See for yourself with these fence and barn scrapbook borders and farm scrapbook card.

Behold A Barnyard Beauty: Farm Scrapbook Layout

Posted on March 23, 2022March 22, 2022 by melissaullmann

Driving through rural areas, it’s likely you’ve seen iconic red barns that speckle the landscape. Hundreds of years ago, farmers would seal their barn with a varnish of some mixture of linseed oil, lime and rust, which under the sun, would turn to the coral, burnt orange or red ochre hue that we are now familiar with.
