I thought it would be nice to share some quotes about gratitude. 
These would be perfect for your Thanksgiving pages!

― Maya Angelou

“If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough.”

DYL: Times Past: farm Life Heritage Scrappers Collection from Diane, ADB Designs

 

My latest Heritage Scrappers Collection, Times Past: Farm Life, represents the small family farmer of yesterday. Mostly self-sufficient, it was hard and labor-intensive work, often with sub-par living conditions. It was a cycle of hard work and community support.

The colors are quite neutral, much as an old-time farm's fields appeared. They're celery and olive greens; rust, sand and wheat; plus slate, deep ocean, cloud and night. The elements are vintage: an old-time pickup truck, a barn, farm animals, vintage household goods and so much more.

#221 Question/Scrapbooking Prompt(s)

• Scrap a vintage photo of a "farm life" ancestor.

These prompts are ideas to help you get started. I also have a gift for you to help speed your page completion. With this background stacker (contributed by my amazing Creative Team Member. Pia) you can finish a page quickly.

This stacker is part of of a coordinating set. Grab the matching one in the forum (scroll down for link to it too).

I hope you find inspiration from the layouts of my awesome Creative Team. Here are their layouts along with the previews from the collection.

I am so pleased when I see layouts created with my collections.  I would LOVE to have you share them with me via one or both of my challenge threads in the forum.

Check my two forum challenges for more gifts from this collection (and others)!
