4th of July Scrapbook Pages

Design by Lynn Ghahary

Subtle patterns in primary colors give a patriotic feel without overwhelming the multiple photos of a holiday celebration. A grid of cropped photos highlights the people and the details of the day. Extra space can be filled with accents and scraps of coordinating cardstock.

Editor's Tip: By converting the more colorful photos to black-and-white, the faces (and not the clashing colors of their clothes) remain the focus of the photos.
