DYL: A GRAND FATHER by Diane, ADB Designs (& gifts!)

 

A Grand Father, a Heritage Scrappers Collection by ADB Designs, is the perfect collection to pay homage to both the men in your family and your life. Suitable for Father's Day scrapping, this collection works equally well for any masculine page you might like to create.

The color palette is beautiful. There are dusty blues, mauve and shades of burgundy, greens, brown and other neutrals. The elements are quintessential to dads, grandfathers, sons and male friends: antique cars, a pocket watch, vintage hardware, male word tabs and, of course, plenty of flowers, ribbons and foliage all perfect for scrapping up your favorite photos.

Q164  /Scrapbooking Prompts

• scrap a page celebrating your father!
• scrap a page about a special man in your life
• create a page about automobiles or motorcycles, new or old
• a page about learning to drive would be great! 

These are just ideas to help you get started. I also have a gift for you to help you get started. With this Cluster (contributed by my amazing Creative Team Member. Pia) you can just add a photo(s) and some journaling and place it on your favorite background and you are done! Easy peasy!

Be sure to keep scrolling for information on additional gifts from this collection!

Free Weekly Kit by Featured Designer: Meryl Bartho

 

Let’s welcome Meryl Bartho as this week’s Featured Designer!

What is your favorite childhood memory? Most of my childhood memories revolve around family holidays most of which were at our family's beach cottage. We spent every July school holidays there and since my birthday fell during this time I had every birthday from my 10th to my 21st at The Cottage. In turn our own daughters love being there too - as a special treat for their 10th birthdays we took them each with a group of their friends.  Such special memories! Who is a very special person in your life? This just has to be my very dear husband, Ray. We have been married for just short of 50 years, 49 in September to be exact. He is just the most wonderfully supportive husband anyone could have (not to mention it is wonderful having my very own in house IT consultant!) I give thanks to God for him every single day. What is your proudest accomplishment? I could not be prouder than I am of our two amazing daughters - I often look back and think of things I could have done better but seeing what wonderfully mature young women they are, what great mothers they have turned out to be, we must have done something right! Aside from the necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without? Withouth doubt, scrapbooking! I don't consider myself any arty scrapper, I scrap real life events. I am so blessed that both girls send me photos and notes of all their daily lives so that I can produce annual albums for them. It does my heart so much good to see how much they and their children value them so much. What is your favorite holiday? I am using the South African meaning of holiday (others may call it a vacation!) Ray & I love camping in our wonderful Afrispoor Buffel - a 4x4 caravan. The furtherest we have been with it (& far the most difficult) was through Botswana. Aside from camping we love visiting our two very dear daughters and their families - one in England & one in Ireland. To finish off we would love to share some of Meryl Bartho’s favorite layouts:

Layout from Flowers and Showers

Layout from Sweater Weather

Layout from Driftwood

Layout from Everyday Stories
