People who are visiting this blog from other parts of the world might not relate to this post, because it's strictly for Americans. An Australian woman once posted on my Fourth of July clip art hub that she had noticed from afar and respected how much Americans love the U.S. flag. I never thought about it before she brought it up but it's true. Our national freedom and ideals have been hard-won by people who laid their lives on the line and our flag is a symbol of that.

We have a lot of patriotic holidays that celebrate the flag and people who fought for it. The first one of the year is this weekend: Memorial Day, when we honor those who died in American wars. Because I come from a family that had two men who served in the military, I felt inspired by this holiday to design a journaling card that can be used to write in a scrapbook about a Memorial Day picnic, concert or any other event. But its use doesn't have to stop there. This patriotic scrapbook embellishment can also be used for Flag Day in June, the Fourth of July, Veterans Day in November and even to make notes about local elections.

I've designed a whole set of free patriotic papers and embellishments that match this journaling card, so hop on over if you'd like to download them. I've posted one of them (American flag scrapbook paper) on this blog. I also have a page with American flag clip art if you'd like to add even more patriotic touches to your scrapbook.

I hope you'll come back soon to download more free scrapbooking supplies. Please also see the sidebar for many more.

This free Halloween scrapbook journaling card embellishment lets you tell your own scary Halloween story. It features a few spiders and their webs, which are iconic Halloween images that may not actually deserve the bad rap they get. I'm not sure how the poor spider got the reputation of being something creepy that we should fear. Most of them are actually quite harmless and much more concerned with creating their beautiful webs and feeding themselves than bothering humans. Oh well. At least these spiders don't have to fear being crushed by panicking human beings; they'll just live on in your scrapbook.

If you'd like some more free Halloween art to go with this journaling card, visit my black and white Halloween clip art hub. You might even find a few more spiders there, along with witches, bats and things that go bump in the night. And of course you'll want to see the matching "creepy spider" Halloween scrapbook paper.

I hope that you'll come back soon to download more of my free scrapbooking supplies. Please see the sidebar for many more freebies.

When I saw Picnik's new baby clipart a few months ago, I knew I had to do something fun with it. The result was the two baby scrapbook papers you see on this page, plus many others that can be accessed on my baby scrapbook papers and embellishments hub.

I created one set of papers for girls and one for boys. The boys just happened to luck out and get the bees, which I think are adorable. I liked them so much, I created several scrapbook papers that feature them exclusively. Click the second link in the previous paragraph to see them.

These baby scrapbook papers aren't just for scrapbooking. You could also use them to create a handmade card for a baby shower or birth announcement. They also would make excellent wrapping paper for a small baby gift.

If you'd like to access more free clip art or scrapbooking images, download my Free Clip Art Sourcebook e-book. Just click the ad in the sidebar to go to the download page.

I hope you enjoy using these baby scrapbook papers and that you find lots of fun uses for them. Feel free to leave a comment about how you used them. I love knowing how people use their creativity!
