Default Granparents Day - Scrapping the Grands!

Today's blog post is about Grandparents Day and how scrapbooking helps us connect the generations. Are you a grandparent? Do you scrap your or your children's grandparents? Share your layouts here!

Here's one I did with my kids and niece and nephew, not long before Grandpa Bill passed away. I hope it will be a nice memory for them of when we were all together.


Show me your layouts!

Here is mine. I had, on hands, a picture of my grandma holding my daughter, and i had one of her holding me on the day i was christened (i was 4 days old). So i asked my mom if she happened to have one of grandma holding HER, and she did. This was a precious set of photos.



Grandma passed away a few years later.

Neat idea for this thread. We had dinner last night with our little one. I did not even think to take a pic with the baby and us [grandparents].
When I was born, there was only my maternal grandmother. I'm happy my DD was able to know all 4 of hers.

Love your title Jenn and perspective of the big photo.
Cassel- that is cool to have those individual photos thru the years and then to have a 4 generation.
Lina - cool to have this heritage photo. Love the lace!
A recent one I did.


and one from Father's Day with just the "guys".

These are all great! Lina, love that you have that beautiful old photo! Michelle, too funny with your baby bump peeking into the photo on your last layout. Very creative! It's so neat to see these layouts, thanks for posting everyone!

I wish I had more grandparent layouts... here are a couple I found.

Me & my little grandson:


Here's one of my Mom, meeting her newest great-granddaughter, they are 100 years and one week apart in age:


This one has a photo of me and my grandma, not specifically a grandparent/grandchild layout, but close:

Stef, i really like how you added the photos in the arm. That is an interesting twist to the extraction technique. I love that idea!
