Theme – Fast Food

November 1, 2023 by Cris T.

Cheap, delicious, and convenient, fast food has become a go-to option for busy people. When it is done right, fast food can be just as delicious as any other type of food. More and more people are turning to fast food as a quick and easy option for meals. The convenience of fast food is a major factor in its popularity. Fast food restaurants are often located near people’s homes or workplaces, making them easy to access.

We know that fast food isn't the healthiest option out there, but sometimes it's just what we need. In moderation, there's nothing wrong with enjoying burgers and fries every now and then. And when it's affordable and convenient, it's hard to resist.

A fast food scrapbook page can be a fun and unique way to remember the memories when you're on a cross-country road trip where fast food was your only option, or chronicling a more personal story of how you used to eat in your favorite fast food chain or restaurant. Whether you want to document a particular fast food journey, or just create a page celebrating your love of fast food, this is a great way to do it. Check out several interesting and terrific layouts below. Be inspired in this post on how you can incorporate your fast food moments in your own page.

Theme – Halloween

October 1, 2023 by Cris T.

All Hallows' Eve, more commonly known as Halloween, is a holiday celebrated annually on the night of October 31. The modern holiday of Halloween has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter. October 31, the night before Samhain, was the end of the Celtic calendar year. It was believed that on this night, the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

The tradition of leaving out food and drink for the spirits on Halloween is thought to have originated with the idea of honoring the dead. By leaving out food and drink, the Celts believed they could placate the spirits. The tradition of telling stories of the dead on All Hallows' Eve is also thought to be a way of communicating with the spirit world. It was believed that the dead could come back and haunt the living, and that by telling their stories, the living could learn from the dead.

Whether you're in the mood for trick-or-treating, attending a Halloween party, or just staying home to watch scary movies, there's no shortage of ways to celebrate All Hallows' Eve. However you choose to spend the holiday, make sure to take some time to think about the origins of this festive occasion. Check out the Halloween layouts below for some great design inspiration for your own Halloween themed page! From spooky and eerie to fun and festive, there's sure to be a layout that will fit your Halloween vision.

First popularized in Ethiopia, coffee has been enjoyed for centuries all over the world. The most commonly accepted story of its discovery is that a goatherd named Kaldi first noticed his goats acting unusually energetic after eating the berries from a certain bush.
