Product Focus #24: 4th of July Scrapbooking Products

Welcome to this week's Product Focus." In these weekly blog posts, I'll share scrapbooking supplies or a product trend I'm particularly drawn to, and then I'll share some ways you can use the products in several project samples. I'll discuss tips and tricks for using the products, share some of my favorite products from that product line, and then I'll open it up for any questions you might have. I'd also love to hear your reviews or uses for the product type I focus on each week. This is a chance for you to pull out products you already own and play with them or for you to discover new products you might not yet have tried.

Next week we celebrate our country's birthday on July 4th. To celebrate, I'm sharing some of my favorite 4th of July scrapbooking/paper crafting products you might want to consider when creating 4th of July Decorations or layouts. I'm also sharing a few of my past and current projects that focus on this theme to give you some ideas of how to document your memories.

Here are a few of my current favorite 4th of July products from 2Peas. Be sure to search by the word "star" or "July" at 2Peas to find products perfect for any project.

Below you will find a gallery of projects that include 4th of July products. You can use many of these same concepts to create home decor items or cards.

What else can you do with 4th of July products? You can create table decor, neighborhood party invites, and so much more. How are you celebrating your country's special day? How do you document your memories and activities from the event? I'd love to hear your plans. We plan on likely having a family picnic and then possibly letting off some fireworks. What about you?
