Uncle Frank chowing down on pumpkin pie, grandma serving up her famous green bean casserole and the kids fighting over who gets the turkey wishbone. We’ve all created scrapbook layouts using photos of the aforementioned events, but do you really want to go another year filing the same ol’ images in the same ol’ spots and accenting them with the same ol’ embellishments?
This Thanksgiving why not add some pizzazz to your page designs by adding touching sayings that reflect the true meaning behind the holiday. If you don’t want to exercise your creative muscle and write out a few of your own original proses, then consider the following popular quotes that will fit perfectly in your Turkey Day scrapbook spread:
