Theme – Festivals

September 16, 2024March 1, 2022 by Cris T.

A festival is an event ordinarily celebrated by a community and centering on some characteristic aspect of that community and its religion or culture. This constitutes typical cases of glocalization, as well as the high culture-low culture interrelationship. Festivals often serve to fulfill specific communal purposes, especially in regard to commemoration or thanking to the gods, goddesses or saints: they're called patronal festivals. They may also provide entertainment, which was particularly important to local communities before the advent of mass-produced entertainment.

There are unique festivals all over the world. Cultural, religious, art, and music festivals connect us to our roots, our culture, and our values. They help us celebrate our heritage and our traditions. Whether it’s a new year’s celebration or an art festival with decades of history, festivals are an important part of our lives.

Have you been to some places and attended different festivals? What type of festival did you enjoy the most? Take a look at some great and lovely layouts below that are related to celebrating festivals and be inspired to create your own festival-themed scrapbook pages!

Theme – Honeymoon

September 16, 2024February 1, 2022 by Cris T.

Honeymoon originates from old English and is a combination of two words, “Honey” and “Moone.” Honey represents sweetness like the food, and Moone refers to the period of one month. Couples used to celebrate the first month of marriage drinking Mead (a sweet drink) gifted to them. Honeymoon historically refers to the first month of marriage, which is expected to be the sweetest.

This represents one of the most traditional elements of the whole wedding and one that is highly unlikely to ever go out of fashion, even today. It is the period a couple spends time together alone, enjoying just the company of each other, away from family and friends. The first unforgettable moments as a married couple happen during this event of their lives. It is the time to bond, relax, enjoy things together, go on adventures, reflect on the relationship and what comes ahead. After all the stress of wedding planning, married couples deserve a memorable honeymoon. They usually go on a vacation or a trip to celebrate it.

How did you spend your honeymoon? Whether it could be on a beach, a trip to far away places, enjoying city lights or going on adventures, for sure it was a special one because you are with the one that you will spend your whole life with. Let’s take a look at some of these amazing layouts on how they celebrated the first memorable events of their married lives.

Resizing scrapbook templates

Most scrapbooking templates that you can find online will be square. Sometimes, you might want to create your page in a rectangular format to fit your printer or to match other albums you have. Although it is possible to find rectangular templates, they are harder to find, and what if you find a template you like, in a square format?

Theme – Covid-19

May 25, 2024January 1, 2022 by Cris T.

Covid-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the new type of coronavirus. It was called Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or SARS‑CoV‑2. The virus appeare in Wuhan, China in 2019 and was said to originate from bats. Since its emergence, it has impacted the lives of millions of people on every continent. From the way we dress up, to the way we go to work or do our school stuff, there was definitely a massive change.

But despite it all, the government officials, the medical frontliners, and our other modern-day heroes worked hand-in-hand to find solutions and make things better for us. The pandemic may not be over yet, but looking back over the past years, we did a great job. Everyone tried their best to follow the rules imposed and help fight the spread of the life-threatening disease. A lot of people showed compassion towards each other by going above and beyond their call of duty.

In honor of the progress we have made so far while battling this global epidemic, we decided to make Covid-19 our theme for this month. Here are some inspiring layouts that hopefully will make all of us appreciate our journey more during these times.

Scrapbooking Theme – Shopping

August 21, 2024December 1, 2021 by Cris T.

Shopping has always been a part of our day-to-day activities. From buying foods and other necessities, to picking new outfits for ourselves, to purchasing gifts for our friends and loved ones, we had to do this kind of thing. While there are people who see it as a common practice, some find it as an excellent way to relieve some tension and stress. They believe it has therapeutic effects as they find themselves constantly entertained, excited and happy whenever they go shopping.

Typically, people visit some stores to buy the goods they need or want. But after so many years, a lot of things have changed and that includes the way we shop. Now that technology has become more advanced, sellers have gained the power to reach out to their potential customers in an easier way through online marketplaces and platforms. So aside from their physical stores, they can offer buyers another hassle-free shopping experience that does not require them to go out of their homes or offices.

Are you one of those people who loves to shop? Do you prefer to go shopping alone or with somebody else? Are you a fan of purchasing products over the internet? Why not tell your shopaholic stories by creating a scrapbook layout just for them!

Theme – Health Awareness

December 6, 2021November 1, 2021 by Cris T.

Health awareness is very important now more than ever. While we’re living in a world full of noise and constant activity, we should never neglect the fact that taking a moment to breathe, relax, and look after ourselves is a necessary thing to do. After all, each of us only has one body and we should treat it with utmost care, love and respect. Abusing it would only lead us to bigger troubles that may affect not just ourselves but also the people around us.

The government, as well as many health organizations and medical professionals, are very much aware that there are people who have less knowledge about certain illnesses and how they can avoid or cope with them. This is why we have several celebrations and events that focus on some diseases to spread awareness, give inspiration, and show some support. Have you ever joined any health awareness campaign before? Have you witnessed or heard amazing stories of survivors and how they fought and won over their disorders?

Maybe this is the perfect time to share and scrap about them!
