Father's Day is celebrated in June in the United States, but a day set aside to honor our male parent is celebrated in many countries on different dates throughout the year. For June's layout contest, we want you to do a layout honoring your father, whether he is living or not. Post your layouts in the June Monthly Layout Gallery before Midnight MT on June 30th. Be sure to list your credits in the description or under the EXIF Properties. Including journaling on your page is always a good thing. If your layout is one of the two chosen winners, you will receive a $10 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!

I like this, Pat - I know I can do a layout about my dear Dad! He will love it too!

[princessrunningfingers]

My Dad was the best Dad anybody could hope to have. I will definitely do this one.

[mbc72]

Great idea, Pat!

[Heatheranne]

Do grand-dads count too? :-)

I would think so Heather.

[AggieB]

Sounds like a good idea, Pat! I've done a few, but will try to come up with something this month.

[Nica]

Perfect! I have a half finished LO of my dad that I never seem to get around to finishing. Perhaps this will give me the push I need.

Good question, Heatheranne. Of course, grandfathers are included.

[Garden_Girl]

I'm in! I'm blessed to have my father still with me so this could be a fun one!

[PolkaDot]

Oh, I love it! I'm in, too!

That's so nice, Joyce. Must be the reason you are so sweet!

Thank you Pat! I had to ask, to be certain. :-)

Thank you, Dot. I guess it takes one to know one, because I think you are a sweetie.

Great theme!

[A-M]

This sounds a lovely theme for this month.
I have done a couple of tribute type pages about my Dad since his death 6 years ago but there is a page I would like to do about the little great-granddaughters he missed out on.

[MariJ]

Wonderful idea, Pat. We are all so good at celebrating Mothers and sometimes Fathers get lost!
Can't wait to see all the layouts in the June Gallery.

I just posted the LO of my dad. I'm also working on one of my FIL.

My Dad, Naval Hero.


TFL!

Wonderful layout about your Dad, Becky! I love that you took a pic of his serial number on his trunk. What a great memory!

[Sara Arell]

I'm still working on this one - I just found a great picture of my Dad - now to figure out where my mojo is!

[Sara Arell]

Ahhhhhh, Here's My Dad but I think I may go back and re-do it when I am feeling more creative! Where, oh, where did my mojo go?

[Cabalistic]

We can do more than one, correct? I was thinking of doing two...

[Sara Arell]

I think so, Tonya - I know I'm going to have to do another one - the one I did this morning was just awful - I want to use that pic of my Dad but surely I can do better than what I submitted this morning - I don't think it's a problem to do more than one but am sure someone else who knows more than I will come along and let you know for sure.

I've never done more than one, but I know I have seen two done by the same person a few times. I'm sure it is perfectly ok.

[Sara Arell]

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the love on my layout of my Daddy! His picture is very special to me and I really thought I might re-do my layout because I was so not feeling creative when I did that but after all the Scrap Girl love, maybe I will just leave it as is!

Yall are just the best! You make a girl feel good!

[Becster]

The support system here is just amazing!

Amen to that!!

[PBarnes]

I apologize for not catching your question earlier, Tonya. Yes, Sara and Joyce have it right. It is perfectly ok to post more than one layout in the monthly contests. Keep 'em coming!

[princessrunningfingers]

Here's my layout of my wonderful Dad. He passed away in 1993 at the age of 84, and I will never stop missing him.

My Dad

[Heatheranne]

I did one of my dad when he was in the RCAF. I can't find the one with my grandpa - waaaa! lol :-)

[Eden]

Great challenge. I might get to squeeze some time from the house work to do this.
