A Layout Of Legacy And Honor: Military Scrapbook Layout

Posted on November 9, 2023November 9, 2023 by Karyn McDermaid-Rolfe

Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, Space Force, Armed Forces — everywhere service members selflessly put their lives on the line to keep their nation and homeland safe and free. And it’s only appropriate to salute our troops — past or present, in war or peacetime — to let them know how much we appreciate their sacrifice, courage, duty, bravery, strength and more… today and every day. To coincide with the upcoming Veterans and Remembrance Day observance, show some pride with this military scrapbook layout.

P.S. Thank you, service members!

Decorating the Christmas tree is a long-established family tradition, passed down from generation to generation, ornament to ornament, for many households.

So why not further your festiveness by bringing the ornamental decor from your living room to your scrapping room by making these Christmas scrapbook borders and DIY card with an ornament punch.
