Civil War, General John A. Logan called for a “Decoration Day” to
honor those who died during the bloody struggle.

Memorial Day wasn’t
always observed on the last Monday in May. For a long time, it was

Sun Prints
I have fond memories of elementary school art classes learning about cyanotype and creating art projects with the images we made. The Sun Prints Designer Series Paper cyanotype style of the DSP makes fun backgrounds that just need a sentiment to make great cards. I used a Sentiment from Patted Geraniums and the die from the bundle.
