Happy Father's Day! It's Casey from the design team, and I thought we'd honor all the dads out there this week (or grandfathers, uncles, godfathers, or anyone else who played a meaningful role in your life) and the impact they've made on our lives. The theme is "A Gift My Father Gave Me." This could be an actual object that has meaning for you, or a quality or lesson passed down to you from dad. This challenge is open to any medium - you could scrap it, make a card, ATC, 4x4, or even just a written entry on your blog! Get creative and play in any way, post your creation on your blog, gallery, picture trail, etc. and then post a link to this challenge. Leave a link to your work in the comments below by Saturday, June 21. One random, lucky player will receive a RAK page kit filled with paper and lots of fun embellishments!
As an added bonus, I'll also be giving away a RAK on my personal blog in honor of Father's Day and my first challenge, so you have two chances to win! Here are a few examples to get you inspired to pick up that tape runner!
I am sharing this page from a larger set of layouts I made last month on Scrapblog. I was describing the role each of my family members played in shaping who I am. This is just my dad's page.

I hope it works.

i am gonna try to do this, but it won't be pretty!! i think mostly what my dad gave me was a broken heart and the lesson i learned was that someone can break your heart again and again. not pretty but i bet it will be therapeutic, so i am gonna try!! great idea casey even for those of us that are not able to be close to our dads. xo, nanc

Total inspiration! I enjoyed playing for Father's Day weekend.
My Papa who I trully miss since he is so far from me ( he is in APAC )taught me how to be a good daughter and a sister . He showed me how to love, how to share, how to accept, how to be grateful with all the blessings we have received. Being the eldest of the 5 children, my papa taught me how to understand. He is a good provider, my true hero. And I'm so lucky my DH is like him.
here's my 2 LOs I made last weekend.
