Scrapbooking Theme – Father’s Day

Father's Day has been celebrated for millennia, but it was not until the 20th century that it became a global holiday. The earliest known Father's Day celebration dates back to the ancient Romans, who celebrated a holiday called the "Feriae Dadastae" on March 15th. This holiday honored the god Jupiter, who was the father of all the gods. The Romans also celebrated a day called the "Festival of Concordia", which was a day when fathers and sons would reconcile.

Fatherhood encompasses an array of roles and responsibilities that contribute to the growth and well-being of children and families. It is a demanding but incredibly rewarding journey. Fathers serve as teachers, role models, and friends, imparting invaluable life lessons, providing emotional support, and fostering a sense of security for their family. It is indisputable that fathers contribute greatly in raising children alongside their wives. They play an essential role in maintaining a strong and stable family unit and should be celebrated for their efforts.

While material possessions are always nice, sometimes the best gifts are those that money can't buy. Expressing gratitude, spending quality time, extending thoughtful gestures and most especially family bonding are some great and lovely ideas on how you can celebrate this day and make it more memorable for them. Let's take a look at some astonishing layout designs that honor fathers and father figures. These layouts are sure to inspire and remind us of why we love our dads so much.

Scrapbooking Theme – Easter

Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, we celebrate Easter. This holiday has Pagan and Christian origins, and has been celebrated since the 2nd century AD. For Christians, it is a time to remember and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For Pagans, it is a time to celebrate the coming of Spring and the fertility of the earth. Whatever our religious beliefs, Easter is about more than just spending time with our loved ones, it's also about celebrating new beginnings. 

There is no better way to do this than with a delicious Easter feast. Ham, lamb, and chocolate eggs are all traditional Easter foods. And of course, no Easter would be complete without an Easter Bunny cake! After the feast, it is time to have some fun. Egg hunts are a popular activity for kids of all ages. Painting eggs is another fun way to celebrate Easter. 

Whatever activities you enjoy on Easter, make sure to take some time to relax and enjoy the company of your family and friends. And to keep these memories, why not make a lovely page for them?
