Free Weekly Kit by Featured Designer: ADB Designs

 

Let’s welcome ADB Designs as this week’s Featured Designer!

Q&A With The Designer: ADB Designs



My name is Diane and I design under the name ADB Designs. I started designing Heritage and Vintage styled kits because I could not find ones for my family history/genealogy albums. I quickly discovered that others liked my kits for their genealogy work too. I try to devote an hour a week to my family heritage research. However, sometimes I depart from Heritage and Vintage styled kits and let my imagination soar. I do have pages to do with current family photos too! This week's Free With $20 Purchase is a fanciful kit called: Arctic Gnomes,  a super fun winter collection ready to add whimsy to your layouts of family and friends.


I like coffee better than tea or soda pop.


I love to read. I mostly read non-fiction (particularly history) but I do indulge in fiction occasionally. I read 1-2 hours every evening.


I also love to sew. I sew mostly for 18" inch dolls and there are many

charities who donate dolls and need them dressed. Sewing is a weekend endeavor.


I adore my cat, Sweetie, but her name is NOT reflective of her personality. LOL I am hoping she grows into her name.


I was asked this question recently and it gave me pause. "If I had a time machine, would I visit the past or the future? Where and when?"  Given my love of history, I would definitely visit the past...but where and when? Honestly, there are multiple choices: first, I would select 30 CE in Palestine; second, would be 1910 Vienna; and the list goes on.


To finish off we would love to share some of Diane’s favorite layouts:

Layout from Christmas Angels

Layout from Snow Day

Layout from A Joyful Holiday

Layout from Merry Winter

Layout from Shimmering Evening

The Fashionable Fall Collection is so sweet and warm! It evokes autumn leaves, sweaters and scarves, pumpkins and fall flowers, along with fun critters and kids. Perfect for scrapping up those beautiful Autumnal days!

Oh, the elements! There are vintage pieces like a pair of eyeglasses, a teapot, an oil lamp, and a cast iron frying pan; wonderful fall-themed wordstrips, adorable animals, and tons of florals and foliage. The colors are wonderful: pink and cherry; coral, peach and pumpkin; olive green, coffee brown and charcoal gray.
