So here is my all about dad's creation.   It features my dad with my niece and nephew.   In Polish grandfather is dziadek.   The kids call him dziadek and he call them the two of him his buddies.    I just love this picture of all of them.   My nephew is just so serious imitating my dad with his foot on the rock just like dziadek.  

Since this picture was taken at Easter I knew I wanted it to have a spring feel, but yet make it masculine some how.   So I pulled the Nature Walk stamp set from the last Occasions Mini and made a page with a vintage feel to it.

Stamp Sets:  Alphabet stamp set from a local craft store, Nature Walk
Ink:   Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist, Early Espresso
Paper:   Travel Journal Designer Series Paper, Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Accessories:  Pearls from a local craft store, Whisper White Satin Ribbon, Wild Wasabi buttons, Pretties
Tools:  Border Punch from a local craft store
