DYL: featuring SAILOR BOY with Diane, ADB Designs

 

What little (or not so little!) boy doesn't love boats? They play with little ones in the tub, bigger ones at the lake, BIG ones when they can actually afford to buy one! Sailor Boy by ADB Designs evokes all that and more!

The elements are fabulous! Lots of little sailors, everything you'd expect onboard: ship's wheel, compass, rope, an anchor. There are sea creatures, too, and a lighthouse - and, of course flowers, foliage and ribbons! The colors are, well, seaworthy: blues - navy, sky and cadet; peach and melon; plum and orchid; avocado and fir green and shades of browns.

#194 Question/Scrapbooking Prompt(s)

• scrap a page about a "sailor boy" -or- girl

• scrap a page of an adventure on the water (fishing, canoeing, kayaking, cruise, etc)

• scrap a page about a maritime museum, exhibit, etc

These prompts are ideas to help you get started. I also have a gift for you to help speed your page completion. With this stunning gift (contributed by my amazing Creative Team Member: Pia) you can finish a page quickly. Be sure to keep scrolling for information about additional beautiful gifts from this collection!

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.

Use-it-all Challenge with Karen Schulz, September 2024

 Hi to all!

My name is Karen of Karen Schulz Designs, and I am the host for the Use-it-All Challenge.

 It is interesting and inspirational to see how we can all use the same papers and elements, yet create totally different scrapbook pages or projects. That is the thought which prompted this challenge.

The rules for this challenge are simple. This month I will provide you with a "Playful Autumn Sampler" with which you will need to create a layout. Pretty simple, right?  See the complete rules in the Challenge, but that's pretty much it.

This month we will be working with a "Playful Autumn Sampler." Autumn brings sunshine and cool breezes. As trees drop their leaves, it's the perfect time to visit a pumpkin patch, take a hike, or go bird watching. Whatever YOU decide to do, has so much versatility, I believe you will find yourself reaching for it again and again.

Note: The Playful Autumn Collection is my featured collection for October. Get the entire collection for just $8 Don't miss out on this seasonal special!

I look forward, as always, to seeing what you create!

I look forward to seeing you in the Challenge.

Free Weekly Kit by Featured Designer: Aimee Harrison

 

Let’s welcome Aimee Harrison as this week’s Featured Designer!

What is your favorite book? I have several favorite books and one of them is Roots by Alex Haley. I read it in High School and I have read it many times over the years. It is very emotional and beautifully written. What makes you laugh the most? Well, my partner, Tyler, makes me laugh the most. He is always pranking me and whenever he gets me I practically fall over laughing. He's lucky I'm a good sport LOL! What's the most daring thing you've ever done? I would say that there are several things I've done in life. But one of them is moving from Florida to Oregon on a whim. I adored Portland and lived there for several wonderful years before moving back to my hometown of Grand Rapids, here in Michigan. What is your favorite season? Now my favorite season is Spring. I love the flowering trees and the crisp weather as it warms up. I love to watch things grow and the process of winter to spring. I used to love Fall the most but as I grow older, I prefer warmer weather. What is your favorite thing to do to relax? I like to read. I read fanfiction. Mostly Harry Potter and I've been reading it for about 15 years. I never get tired of it and I love how there are new wonderful stories coming out every month. To finish off we would love to share some of Aimee Harrison’s favorite layouts:

Layout from Dark Magic

Layout from Autumn Country

Layout from Seafoam

Layout from Woodsong

Layout from Road Trip
