Red, White & Blue for Memorial Day

It’s Memorial Day weekend in the United States. Memorial Day weekend falls on the last Monday of May every year and is viewed as the unofficial kickoff to Summer. While we enjoy cookouts, picnics and outdoor events during this three-day weekend, it’s also a day to remember those who’ve died in military service to our country.

To get you in the mindset for tomorrow’s Memorial Day events, I’m focusing my post today on reds, whites and blues.

Red, White & Blue Inspiration

Here are some projects I’ve shared with a red, white & blue color scheme. Not all of these are patriotic in nature, but you’ll quickly find the reds, whites and blues (you’re quick like that. You can click on any of these pictures to see the original posts for each:

Color Combinations

With so many great colors in Stampin’ Up!’s color families, there are lots of great combinations for the Red, White and Blue. I’ve even added some colors that are great stand-ins for gold and silver. From sophisticated to festive, here are some color combinations that might inspire you:

I’d love for you to save any of these color combinations to Pinterest or to your computer for future reference. I hope they come in handy.

Tomorrow is a special day – how lucky we are to have people who’ve come before us and fought for the freedoms that allow us to be who we are. I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day tomorrow. Whether you are attending a parade, enjoying a cookout, chilling at home or working (some people still have to show up for their jobs), I hope it’s a great day. While you’re at it, make today great, too! ♥

Thanks for stopping by today!
